Well, since I'm bored...
The show outside in the parking lot was Mustang central. We quickly made our entrance to the warehouse. The turnout was low IMO, with the usual suspects (Boosalis and 3047, Williams and 2227) but there were some rare(r) treats like the '67 LeMans GT40 MkIV driven by McLaren/Donohue).
The discussion panel included Bob B, Adam Carolla, Allen Grant, John Morton and Gary Patterson. Adam previewed his documentary "The 24 Hour War".
Progress on the museum seems slow, the store was busy and Lance is starting a "Hillbank North" at the Shelby facility.
In keeping with tradition, I picked up my Kirkham from McCluskey the same day as the event. Maybe next year I show with Rick and his Shelby. I finally got the McLoed twin disc, Liberty Gear'd TKO 600, and Kirkham billet pan and fork/slave setup installed. Could it possibly be anywhere near complete?
Just ask my wife.

How about some pics?
You have made so many changes to your Kirkham since purchase that I think your Kirkham isn't really a Kirkham anymore. It's a Rodney Cobra. 
How's the Tremec shifting now? Ready for a Toploader? I hear Bernica wants to get rid his and join the New Millennium with a Tremec 5-speed. 
There's always a T-56 installation to look forward to with next year's "spa" at McCluskey's. |

It doesn't look any different than the pics from the paint a year ago.
I do have a couple pics of the stuff in my public gallery.

I was looking for pics of the event that you attended, which is what this thread was all about, correct? |

It was really a veiled attempt to talk about myself (See Patrickt? I'm learning).
You gotta admit, RodK, the post did kinda sound like you wanted pics of the Kirkham. Let me paint it beige and see what I can muster. I'm not much a of a photog.

"How about some pics?" I suppose I could have been more specific, but the thread was about the event that you attended. But, hey, I'm willing to admit I'm wrong. I'm used to it by now. It's always my fault. I repeat as necessary almost EVERYDAY.
For the life of me, why would anyway paint a Cobra beige? How many historical and iconic race/street cars are painted beige for heaven's sake? Maybe someone raced a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord in beige, but that's about it.  |

Nope. He's in Sacramento about 2 hours away. I assume he's still in business. |

He's still in business. Just wondering if you ever see him.
