Too bad your not going to be here for the Street Rod Nationals this weekend in Tampa, a few of us members are meeting up there. Otherwise sounds like you have a pretty good plan. Your going to love Garlits museum, you could spend all day there. The weather is beautiful right now too.

I used to love the old town cruise, last went there over 10 years ago... Cool that it's still going, that's definitely on the calendar.
