True. At least I like to think so. The next person just placed an order.

One of the local Mustang clubs knew of an eleven year old boy with cancer and his favorite car is a Mustang. That club got 8-10 of their members together and decided they would do a cruise in to the boy's house. Well word got out and it turned into more and more people wanting to be involved. They had to move the event 3 times so they would have room for all the cars. The local Ford dealer loaned the boy's dad a new Shelby GT 500 so the boy could arrive to show in style. Last I heard they were expecting around 300 cars. There were no less than 150 when I was there and they said the Mustang clubs from Tennessee hadn't arrived yet. The weather was sunny and in the the low to mid 40s. Compared to what we've had the two weeks prior (sub freezing temps) I'd say there was someone else that wanted this show to happen. As you can see in the pics there were more than just Mustangs. To see all these car people come together to, if only for a moment, help this boy and his family forget about the cancer leaves me speechless. I have pics but for some reason I can't get them to attach. I watched the video and I was doing everything correctly. I'll try again later. You can see the pics on my FB page here

Outdoor kitchen will be coming this spring, I hope. The company that did the rock for us also does outdoor kitchens. He said he would give us a deal. We are wanting to wrap the end of the octagon with a grill, sink, and possibly a refrigerator.

That would be Lewis & Sons Roofing. The owner lives in my neighborhood. Paul, When I saw you username I thought you were one of my local customers. His vanity plate is CAPNSLO on his CTSV.

Thanks! Good eye! Those were taken before the gutters were finished.

Thanks everyone! As much as I enjoyed it I'm glad it's finished. Rich, Luckily our property taxes aren't near as high as other places. We thought about the maintenance and thought it was worth it. We really like the way the cedar looks. We're debating removing the vinyl and replacing it with more cedar.

I know some of you follow me on FB and Instagram so you already know all this. Last July my wife and I decided to demolish the back deck and add a screened in porch to our house. Well, 6 months later we ended up with a very nice sunroom. My brother and I did everything except the decking and the shingles on the roof. Needless to say it kept me very busy. Between doing details, car shows, and construction it didn't leave much time for me to visit forums. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be posting up some of those details. For now I'm going to share some pics of the new addition. Here's what we started with: Finished project. We ended up with a 14'x16' room and a little over 520 sqft of deck space.

I also thought of Mook and how lucky he was to do the initail polishing on Boost. I now have pics on FB too. I have to keep you on edge. I'm hoping I'll get at least one more chance to see it before the end of the year. I'm trying to talk my wife into a vacation to Ohio for the Goodguy's show. It's Ohio or the beach. I'm betting I lose. Absolutely. Well worth the 3+ hours I spent driving down and back. Yes it was.

Here are a few others...... No. The first pic isn't my truck. That's a 67 and mine has a bigger motor.

I made the trip to Birmingham to day to see the Hot Rod Power Tour and I was finally able to see Boost in person. That thing is AWESOME! I was lucky enough to get to do a DS wipedown. They were never able to get it off the ramp as the threat of rain was too high. Any way here are some pics.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Great clinic, awesome new products coming, hands on training with the new products....... The list goes on and on. It was great finally getting to meet everyone and put a face to a name or username. Dylan recognized me by voice, lord knows I've called him enought for info on products. He's lucky I don't have his cell number. Adam has put together an amazing team and also treats them the way employees should be treated. It's great to be a dealer for this small company. Can't wait for the next meeting.

5 more pics for your viewing pleasure

Here we have 2 Adamized Pontiacs. One 2002 Trans Am in triple black with only 33k on the clock and the other is a beautiful 1966 GTO. Both cars received a 2 bucket wash. The Trans Am washed polished to near perfection and treated with QS, BG and topped off with Patriot. The GTO was clayed and then coated with BG and APW. Sorry no before pics.

Now that I think about it, the previous had just put these new tires and wheels on, it's worth a shot.It still needs a new pinion seal though.

Thanks again for all the comments. This thing is definitely going to be a labor of love. I took it today to get new exhaust (the previous exhaust was a hack job) and after seeing it on a lift I've got some work ahead of me. It has some leaks, oil, trans, and pinion. At highway speed, 60mph-65mph it vibrates so bad your teeth rattle. Tomorrow I'm taking the drive shaft to be balanced and while it's out I'm going to put in a new pinion seal. I've also found a place on the left front fender that'll need to be repainted. The paint is blistered. I'll probably wait til winter to do that along with pulling the engine and the trans. Right now I just want to get her all shine up and drive it. I'm still not 100% sure on the gears in this thing. At 60mph I was turning 2500rpm. Any faster and the vibration starts being really bad. At 70 it would be up around 3000. Here's a pic of the new exhaust
