Maybe, (in a fantasy world), I'll have my car finished, run it across the MCACN block with a healthy reserve number on it, some rich dude buys it, then I could do another one.,ha.., a Dayclona.
 
Justin,

Here is your target/goal for MCACN. Knowing how you have your car done, you should be a shoe in. I too look forward to meeting you in person.

I do appreciate your optimism! With some of those super nice parts of yours, I better, lol....In reality, no matter what I come home with from the show. Just the mere fact of my pops car being there for all to enjoy will overshadow anything else. Along with that to share this and meet many friends and members here. For me this is going to be epic...Another story in relation to this car to relay to my pops in the New World....

You know they say Love conquers all.....Love built this car and this cars restoration was conquered like the bombing of Berlin. It stood ZERO chance.....

You have helped me with many things with this restoration. I have said this many times throughout this thread and for good reason. Your knowledge, assistance and parts are second to none....

I will be happy to say this in person and also looking forward to meet you there!

Now this is someone thinking out the box, I like that Kidd!

It will be in the works soon.....My friend Chaz has a link to someone whom is talented at doing these. About 2 years ago I asked him about this, so I hope he doesn't have amnesia, lol....

Do you have any ideas for a layout? I do like to hear peoples opinions on these....I have seen too many that were done poorly versus tastefully....

I'm not an artist by any stretch. That's what it would take to do something nice. Maybe a brass plaque on a piece of wood, just large enough to display with the car and you could display it in the house also. Maybe an engraving in the brass of the car with a picture of your dad's face overlapping. And of course a dedication written. You get the right artist and it could turn out pretty cool.

Maybe Jimmy (Bladecutter) can come up with something. His work is outstanding.
 
I'm glad Tim asked because I didn't want to admit that I didn't know what MCACN was either. I was just going to look it up to see it I could figure it out. I would love to go but it may be a few years before this Western kid could afford to go that far, right Threewood?
 
That's why I think a route 66 cruise would be cool! Could meet a lot of members along the way!

Showard I didn't realize Corvettes were muscle cars :D
