Thanks, Mike, but it ain't all bad. I'll be at Billetproof, just not with the roadster. That's OK, though. Although my coupe is well traveled (I drive it a LOT!) and "road proven" (2400 mile trek through the midwest in 2006), not all that many people have seen it because I really haven't had it at very many rod runs. I've had it to Daytona for a couple of different events and to a few cruise-ins in the area, but that's about it. It's got some rock chips on the frame, road grime underneath, and a couple of rust bubbles coming up on the doors, but that just proves it's a driver. It's been a faithful "member of the family" since I put it on the road in 2005, so I guess it deserves to be displayed in a field full of "our kind" of people. The roadster's time will come...

Have you considered going to the T-bucket Nationals? It's June 18, 19, & 20 in Lenoir, NC.
