Yes..... it was just completely gutted and remodeled - and the yard et al was stripped clean.... they did bare minimum landscaping just to flip the house - and we’re getting bids right now to remedy that.

You could probably get Charley to plant some Almond trees in your yard.....

Yeah — but then he’d want to build a raccoon ass scratcher rock pile.... and bring his pet Javelina

ps, nice truck!

Greg,

It was a treat to see the ep with you and the GG tour at Kindig air not once but twice yesterday.

:D

The ‘40 has been getting much “love” — a full feature in the GoodGuys Gazette — and cover and full story in the latest issue of Wheel Hub magazine - and a PPG paint Ad..... so far, two Top 10 picks — and today a Gary’s Pick at GoodGuys Scottsdale.

Gary Meadors was the founder of GoodGuys. Sadly he passed last year.... so the award is an honor to me. He was truly a GOOD GUY! It was his Yellow ‘32 Ford Tudor that I was asked to drive on the 2017 Hall of Fame Tour.... I had turned that offer down because CHRA (builder of the ‘40) had asked me to drive their 68 Corvette well beforehand - and I felt I needed to honor that commitment ...but that car had starter trouble and so they rolled the ‘32 out of the trailer. Marc Meadors was supposed to drive the ‘32 on the tour but had a last minute change of plans so the car was already at DSE. Lucky for me - they just put it in a trailer and were hauling it on the tour. I’m a hot rod guy.... so that kind of stuff means something to me. Just trying to put a little story behind the meaning of this award for me personally. Not trying to be a name dropper..... it was just lucky me is all.

Then today I win this. Makes it a little “more special”.

The award......

Wasn’t sure how to really tell the story except to just tell it the way it went down.... Sometimes you get lucky just being in the right place at the right time. I like to connect the dots and close the circle... especially on the internet. So many people don’t know all the little details that make everything gel.
