  • Got my First 1st last night

    Went to a cruise in at Fatz Cafe' in Rock Hill SC last night, they mentioned that it was their second largest crowd all summer, 55 wonderful cars. I really did not expect to win but was hoping to at least get a mention since I was parked on the back row away from most of the really nice cars but I noticed that my "Irene " had a lot of visitors throughout the night. So, 8 pm comes and they start handing out door prizes, and then its time for the peoples choice first place and who do they call? Me and my Irene I was so shocked because I knew there were a lot of wonderful cars there. So, when you get tired and do not want to work on the project car any longer just remember there is a reward at the end. Good Luck to all and do not loose focus on those projects, hey, it toook me 6 1/2 years but its aready been worht it.
