At a little Canada day car show by our town I came home with ''Best chevrolet " trophy . The only reason it is funny is that a guy from here just bought a pro built 55 from osoyoos . It was built by J.f. laurnier probably over a hundred grand Im guessing. Art morrison frame leather etc. It did show up a little late but some how we got the hardware . I had left early to go work on my shop and my brother showed up a little later telling me to build an extra shelf !!!!!

Great news. I like it when the guys who get their own nails dirty get the recognition.

HotRodJoe · 07-02-2010, 06:01 AM

That's cool!

Early bird gets the worm & with mechanic looking hands they know for sure you do your own work. Not just using them to write the check that paid for the work done to the car. Glad to hear you won!
