I also moved a huge electric train board that goes on our old kitchen counter/cabinets to the divider between the two and one car garage. I still have a 455 and a 428, two Pontiac rear ends and numerous VW engines too......And my 62 Catalina is in pieces! The reason I was in Prescott this past week-end was I had to submit my plans to building and safety. The plans will be in plan check for not more than three weeks and then I will be able to break ground. I'm the general contractor. The garage will be 1632 sq feet and will have two lifts. We've already painted the inside of the house and have done tile in the great room and hallways, dining and sitting room and kitchen. I figured it was something to do before I start building.
Culture shock??? Not in the least, Our son is renting a house from us in Laveen, so we've been your way many a time. Plus we meet the kids and grand kids in Prescott many times because they use Prescott to get out of the heat. I also joined the Prescott Antique Automobile club.....well over 100 members, and many live in the development where I bought. There are so many old retired farts like me driving through the neighborhood in their antique or hot rod cars all the time. Quite a mix of cars. One guy I know from the Olds club of America who lives in Chino Valley has over thirty Oldsmobiles! Most people are refugees from So. Cal. getting away from the political and fiscal mess! We looked for two years before we bought so we knew many people already. Now you guys will have a beer stop when you take your many adventurous road trips!

Welcome to Prescott Don. The Prescott Antique club is a great group of guys that put on a great show at Watson Lake near the Dells late in the year. Alot of old car guys in the area with several weekend cruises every month to attend as well. Not a big scene up here like Phoenix but there's almost always something car related to do on a smaller scale anywhere in the tri-city area. Keep on eye on "Cruise Arizona" which covers the northern part of the state for car events. "Cruisin' Arizona" covers the Pheonix/Tuscon metro areas.
Hope that helps.
Steve, sounds like you had a great turnout, glad to hear it and all the work is much appreciated
