Just got in from our latest trip to Disney World- somewhere over our 20th visit, and great as always. Even moreso with the events of the last few months. Spent the cost of a very nice Stude driver, and had a great time- just went by too fast. Only regret is running out of time for the Turkey Run
A few weeks back, Sonny from Racingstudebakers.com offered a 2dr. Lark body for free! Being that he's in SC, there was limited interest due to distance. Matthew and I expressed interest, but he decided not to pursue it; and I was going to FL for Thanksgiving, so......
Took my trusty dolly along and dropped it at Sonn's on the way down. On the way back we swung by Swansea and hooked up the dolly, loaded the Lark, and headed on. As usual, got home without incident, almost 900 miles.
Here's Sonny with the Lark. My son Rob is in the background (thrilled to have been awakened
):
Thanks to Sonny for saving the old thing from crushing, and passing it on to me. I can assure that it will be used somehow, and not wasted. Who knows, it may get the r2/4-spd. in the garage and become a nasty "rat-rod" till the Daytona's done[8D]
In any case, it was a good addition to the IoMT; and best of all it was great to finally meet the famous Sonny of website fame- although I still don't know his last name[:I] Really a great guy, and a credit to the Marque! Thanks again, Sonny __________!![8D]

'Last name is Josker and you are right, Bob; he's a helluva nice guy!
