Cool. Wish the video was longer, but thanks. Steve was down here last Mon., said he'd take some pics for me too.

The word earlier should have been spelled silverier. What the hell, it's made up anyway.

I imagine you guys checked out the Silver 69 T/A as well.

I did. I think I saw a paint chip on the right quarter.

The Silver '69 TA prototype was positioned next to us and unveiled before Adrain.

It was terrific fun meeting so many forum members at the show last weekend. Too many even to list, but what I didn't expect is that these characters were the secret judges scrutinizing Adrian.

The tall guy said the shaker, brake rotors, exhaust stack, leaf spring brackets, hood latch and lower chin spoiler bolts were the only truly correct parts on the car.

Boy, that's a motley crew there. Thanks for the pix, the car is unbelievably cool.

One of the most rewarding moments in the show was when Car Art Artist Michael Irvine asked if he could award his Sponsor Pick Award to Adrian.

Knowing and respecting his artwork with pieces like 'Bird Sanctuary' and 'The Goat Farmer' one knows he has a keen eye for art and classic muscle, and I can't help but associate that his eye for beauty, art and muscle was not lost on his pick!

I happen to own #458/800 of his limited signed and numbered copy of 'Bird Sanctuary' so needless to say the award was even the more incredible and exciting.
A few here will know the significance of #458!

Here's Michael Irvine's webstie: http://www.michaelirvine.com/

And here's a few pictures receiving the award and of my homage to 'Adrian' and 'Sister' that resides in my office.

And THE most rewarding part of the show is being able to have enjoyed it with my family. Jim flew in from San Francisco and Mom and Dad drove with Patty and I.

one can really appreciate this special color coded car in these photos...you follow a thread and at times its like, hey my car looks like that (how many 72s in grey primer do I see!?)..then these photos!! WOW...congrats on your foresight 165TH because this was a car that deserved restoration no matter what..like others even I could not envision the final result..perhaps having secured the car and then following through on your restoration dream you knew all along how it would look at the end!...really like the white/blue deluxe in the Adriatic blue and a 4- speed with a/c are extra bonuses...I do hope there is a heaven and WC can look down and see his car (he probably thinks it needs its Cragers back)..the persons who originally ordered these cars and actually drove them like regular cars...those are the history I like to read about..the back in the day..we are sometimes just the inheritors..well back to sitting in my T/A making vroom noises...but really a gorgeous job and all the best and enjoyment out of Adrian and I hope I am not the only jealous Trans Am owner on this forum!!
