Pic doesn't show it, but there were about 75 people attending..
Kind of neat for a smaller sized community..
Met a lot of neat people. The networking aspect of being new to the community is a lot of fun. I printed up a self promoting info sheet that has the 'Studebaker First's on the back. Amazing that all 25 of them were taken early on... Have to print some more up for the zone meet... Perfect day...so far!

A new collision center is opening fairly close to the new house, so I went and talked to the owner about fixing the boo-boo. We chatted about using the truck for some publicity shots for his new shop. He agree'd to give me a massive discount on the repair if I were to bring the truck over to his place all gussied up for next Wednesday.
Seems that is the day the Chamber of Commerce is holding their new business ribbon cutting ceremony, and they are having the local newspaper, the radio stations (2), and the local TV stations out to cover the festivities...
Timing [u]is</u> everything!
They had me take off the running board, the engine side cover, and the spare tire, so they could re-shoot the entire fender.

They didn't want any tape lines on there.

Gave it to them to fix on Wednesday, and got a call at noon yesterday... All done! Picked it up after work yesterday afternoon...
So now all I have to do is put it back together and do the normal show prep..

Did I say timing was everything?
After the ceremony on Wednesday... The SDC SE Zone meet is on Friday/Sat/Sun....
I don't even have to clean it twice
