I am amazed at the responses so far as my goal was 20 cars and I am at 15 in just a week that have responded with their interest in being part of the show. Not included in that 15 are a few surprises as well as some pretty rare cars and even a couple of one offs that are trying to make arrangements. If everyone that Bob and I have talked to come, we are already at our target goal. Thanks to all who have sent me e-mails and showed their interest. I only hope Bob has room for all of us if we surpass 20 in the next 3 months. This may turn out to be a really exciting showcase.

Here is an updated list of cars so far. Most of these are for sure with a couple of very high potentials. I have some very exciting and rare cars waiting in the wings for the owners decision and will post them as they notify and confirm their cars.

I added Mark Mitchell's (Late BrakeU2) Pilot LS-6 tonight as Mark called and confirmed his entry into the show and has some very interesting signage, photos and documents to display with the car. As many of you may or may not know, this is the very first documented LS-6 built and has a couple hand marked notations on the build sheet as well as the cylinder head. This car will be undergoing a complete frame off following the show. Thanks for your support.

Here is the list so far.
1. Dennis Cumby's original owner Black Fred Gibb LS6 Chevelle
2. Chad Blomberg's Cortez Silver coupe
3. Nick B's Misty Turquiose convertible
4. Chris White with Blue convert
5. Dennis L.'s Shadow Grey coupe
6. Bob L.'s Shadow Grey coupe (possible)
7. Mark Bulaw's Red coupe
8. Jason Palka's Fathom Green coupe
9. Don Stowers' White coupe (possible) or at least the rolling chassis
10. Al Wagner's LS-6 coupe and Roadster Corvettes (possible)
11. Possibly 1 or 2 well known race cars.
12. James Lerum Cortez Silver/black top coupe
13. Kevin Beirman with his Truppi-Kling display material
14. Dina W. Forest Green coupe
15. Mark M. The Pilot LS-6

I contacted the owner of the second known built LS6 (Leeds 12-11)that was a zone demonstrator. I'm trying to get him excited enough to maybe get his done and bring it, even though I think he needs to sell it to me.

Awesome! Keep us posted and if he needs a "personal invite", let me know as I am sure there are lots of people that would like to see it at the show.

He told me the car is too far from being ready for the show.
I'll keep after him for a little while to see if he might try to make a run at it.

Sounds like you have it handled Rick. You better take lots of pics!

[SS427]

Not even close but I am a good pretender. My hands are a little full right now with other issues and trying to getting this to come off without a hitch will be a test given the time that it takes, but so far so good. If I can just get some of the "special surprise" cars committed, it will really turn into one hell of a display.

[Xplantdad]

It'll all work out. Everything works out in due time...

Expect a call from me...maybe tomorrow?
