Sleek Z Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Tim, No, No, you weren't reading the timeline in my remarks carefully enough. Business pressures got in my way to coming down this year and I did not make it. Instead, overflow of international Z enthussiasts that flew into the MSA show all ended up at my parts shop for several days starting on Monday. If I'd been there you would have had a lawn guest parked out front for 40 days and 40 nights while I photographed your custom car and tailights and every other custom Z within 100 mile radius of there. Ask anyone that has made the mistake of agreeing to let me take "a few" shots of their car. They'll tell ya that once I start, the shoot never ends. If I can keep a lighter or a candle lit at midnight, I'll still be shoot'in your Z. Well, anyway, I was truely disappointed that I could not make it because your car was one of the newly finished Z projects at the top of my list to photo document. Care to drive it up here for a week end? Guiness and Burgers will be on me! Well.........? btw, I was checking out your V8 project pages today and the last 2 photos showed the right rear of you painted car kind of dinged up. Total BUMMER. This just happened? At the MSA Show? Very sad to see the crinkles in the long hours of primo body work and paint you worked so hard on. "BUMMER", again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z-ya Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I was at MSA this year, and didn't see you either Eric. Absolutely loved that green chopped convertible. And as usual, your photos make it seem like I am still at the show looking at the car! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
