I was going to ask the girl to put a sticky note on the back with my contact info to grab it when they change the display. I have to act on my great ideas:-)

Lol I did something similar back many years ago when GAP had a 67 Camaro in an advertisement.. Left my name &amp; number.. Never heard from them.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

I would definitely go back and do it.. Worst case they dont call.. Or you can case the dumpsters everyday.. lol

I had a very nice visit with the Stagers last week. I dropped off a gift wrapped copy of the muscle Car Review Rare Finds article, one for Al and Lynn, and one for their daughter.

We had a nice chat about the car, MCACN, summer holidays, etc.

Very nice people!!

Stefano put me in contact with a friend who had a fine fan shroud correct for my car.

Thanks Stefano!

I pick it up in November:-)

&quot;Our daughter is more than impressed with you Ryan. She keeps reminding us how important it is that you bought the car rather than a collector of many cars, and that you are local. We will get to see the car again.

Thank you so much for the magazines and for taking the initiative to have the article written. Al had fun showing his brother and sister and her husband this past weekend as well. We are very proud of it and pleased that you are sharing this with us.

Lynn&quot;

I copied a nice e-mail (above) from Lynn, &quot;More than Just A Car&quot;

Congrats! It couldn't have gone to a better home.

Here are the pictures I was sent before going to see the car.

I am working on a plan to bring my W-31 back to life.

I plan to remove the front clip intact and the body disturbing as little as possible. This way I can restore/rebuild the frame, suspension, brakes, drivetrain, cooling system, fuel system, steering, etc. anything below the car.

Dan Vasic shared some links recently to get me thinking:-)

I liked this link the best, except I would use something other than 4 X 4's seems a little risky.

Yes I realize buying a shop and a hoist would be nice but that would add a decade to the resto:-(

Ryan,

Long before I had my lift.....I did dozens of cars using my 4X4`s.....Trust me, they are plenty strong.
I still have my 4x4`s, they are all banged up from years of use....I would still use them today, If I had to.
