Wink Yeah...

Helluva show from what I've seen. Wouldn't worry about the rain. Been 60% all week...just passing showers. Only 20%-40% this weekend. Only @ 40 minutes from my house.

+1 on the weather.
It's been threatening rain all week, but nothing much has materialized. I have ~ 35 minute drive - probably be there some Friday after work and Saturday morning.

Two goons from Chicago meeting up with two more in Van Wert at 11am. Then the small roads to Dayton... Look for the pre show at stops along the way!

Are you going to have plastic wrap on the lower quarters or just leave a heavy layer of wax there so the rubber won't stick to the paint?

I'm glad to hear that - it's a look that requires some dedication.

Default Where are all the 1st Gens?

Stopped by the show today and walked around for an hour or so. There was a lot of beautiful 2nd Gen cars but hardly any 1st Gen to look at. Is this typical? It was my first time to the show.
