So as you can see we got alot to do not to mention get our normal stuff ready for the show (stanchions, ropes, chairs coolers) So not so much is updated on here as should be about our stuff, it's alot of filler (rather have it here then on the panel). But we are going about it like a real machine everyones helping everyone else the best that they can many nights are spent in some ones garage with others working for a common goal "the best cars we can build with our money, skill and time". which means lots of stress, long nights, schlitz, and filler. Sounds like fun to me. Oh and lets not forget the sub zero temps in detroit. I'm proud of my crew, members and prospects really throwing down lots of hours to get ready for this event which in my opinon is the show of the year. I really want to see this continue after this mecca event, i want to see prospects and members thrash in the warm months on our members cars that still need lots of work, because thats what it's about the cars and the bonding that comes with a brotherhood like we've formed here. I really hope that some of our brothers from other chapters in other states can come here and share in the fun that is Detroit Autorama . We have been notified by the powers that be that we have "the" biggest spot with the most cars in the cobo basement. we arent doing anything special to win a club display throphy were going to let our craftmanship on our cars do the talking. my motto of late is " Less is more, Stay true, Stay poor." that about sums up this winter especially the poor part . In this crappy economy we still scrape and scrounge to build a quaility car that shows and drives on a budget. All the press we have had lately really makes it worth while we didn't seek any of it out we didnt contact magazines to get pictures in and articles written. They saw our cars and felt we were worthy, while it's not "cool" it really feels good that when you build something for yourself others apreciate and like what what your doing. Enough yapping and running on at the mouth for now, i need to go spend time with my kids on this day off so come monday I'm back at the grindstone with everyone else in the garage..........
See you all soon!
