We all just walked around the workshop freely.
Steve had a long deep conversation about engine rebuilds and special tools with Bobby Madden and Larry and Hutch were talking drags...... and I took some photos.

This is where cars are checked, set up and repaired.

Did I mention George DRIVES his cars.

This sort of attention to detail is very impressive.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

Few more days worth.

Just packed my bags at Dennis' for airport.
It was another awesome year.

Friends, friendships, Pranks, laughter and a bit of drinking.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

Will also look once back in the UK.

Keep fingers crossed that I make it through customs with all my bags.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Love that little car makes me think I should build one for our granddaughter lol

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

Pete, you can buy all those kits painted or unpainted there.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

Now there's a thought any idea where from lol.
Hope you're trip back was ok cheers pete

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

Right.

Guess who is back in the UK??

I flew out on Virgin from Heathrow UK to Detroit (my hard case zipper halfway open when I collected my baggage to put it through for St Louis, I lost stuff but hey-ho and fixed case for next leg with big roll of box tape) then Delta Airlines to St Louis (delayed at Detroit) Virgin staff exemplary and Delta staff decent.

Return trip St Louis which is turn around spot for the Detroit flight, take off delayed by 45 minutes. This made our 90 minute lay over in Detroit a rush and walked straight onto plane elsewhere in terminal.
I also did ductape my case strategically on the return trip as I had spares and new clothes in there plus a 5 way race car oil pump for JohnnyBravon from Dennis.

When I got to baggage collection here today...... NO BAGGAGE !!

Was told by Heathrow lost baggage guy that I am not allowed to close my bag and try protect the contents from being scattered or pilfered.
Seriously tucked off by the situation. As my holiday was Spectacular.
Supposedly my baggage will be headed here tomorrow on a next flight and then delivered at home.

Back to more photos at George Poteets place.

SAME CARS FROM BEHIND.



Bedtime now.

My clock is so screwed, I have no idea what I need to do.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

First things first grab a cold one lol

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

Glad you made it home. Stinks about the lost stuff. Thanks for the goodies!!!!!

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

Glad you made it back. Hopefully the luggage gets their intact too. I so dislike flying. You would think after 40+ yrs with Air Force it wouldn't bother me, but the BS we go thru to fly!

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

Speedway motors has them.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

An absolute pleasure mate.

It was an honour and a oleasure to meet you.

Some things never change.

Like flying.

Tjank you Dennis.

I knew you would be along.

If you send me photos of your and Rogers pedal cars I will podt them on here.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

It was great being in the US with many friends again. The hospitality everywhere was magnificent, thank you all as well, great to see those I met, (2017 will be via Louisiana, landing in New Orleans if I can make it happen.) I will miss it. My gifts, clothes and knives are still in my baggage where Delta Airlines left it in Detroit. Hope to see all my baggage safely this afternoon.
I took a small antihistamine (piriton) at 8pm last night and slept 12 hrs straight to 8.30am English time. My body is super sensitive to them. Waiting for Katy to visit later.
Harley my cat is very pleased to have me home too. I fed her, made cuppa tea and came back to bed to carry on waking up. She came straight back up here and is sitting on my lap.

Time flies.......

Miss Katy arrived as I started this update. Last pics from George Poteets for the Hard Core still hanging around.

Into The Church.

Read it all if you can.

Lastly, not too many people can honestly wear this license plate bracket on their cars.

This concludes one of the many highlights of my trip.

The thing is, last year, meeting Rusty Escott - RIP in Waco Texas with his wife Deanna who had been a roady with the likes of David Copperfield, AC-DC and many other big names features right up here.

Every person I have met in the USA has enriched my life.
I honestly still have to meet an A-Hole.

My life is good.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

As long as I have had my coffee, this may remain true Rian. :lol:

Hopefully if you make a run next year, we'll get to see if that holds true.:mm:

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
