Nice meeting you too, Charlie! Thank you for stopping by and introducing yourself. Pleasure meeting you. Please excuse the dry wit. It's all the glue sniffing during the model building as a kid

Cheers
Dave

I'm glad I got to talk to you and Kelly for a few minutes. The car is awesome and I hope you get to bring it back when it's finished. I wish I had got a picture of you with the car, but I didn't think of it until it was too late.

Saw the car and saw you but you were busy talking. Was just going to say hi and shake your hand and congratulate you on the journey. Amazing workmanship

What an awesome time. Finally met a bunch of folks I wanted too, missed a bunch I wanted to see again. I think next year I'm going to only rent a space and put a chair up just so I can have the pleasure of meeting everyone in person on this site and not miss anyone. It was such a fun time and I humbled from the compliments of my handiwork. I made a few VERY interesting contacts from the show. Just am awesome time and the new winner of the Future Fabricator Award was well deserved.

John K from the Mecum venue spent about an hour with me asking questions. Very intriguing conversation. No, it won't be going across any stage anytime soon.

Then this guy showed up for a photo op....

So good to see everyone. Wish I could have met some more in person. I was literally walking around with a smile on my face non-stop.

More to come!!

Cheers to you guys!

Dave

PS: Most flattering part was Charley. He was basically a satellite orbiting my car the entire time grabbing others to take a look. You couldn't resist! So amazing
