Well the reason I didn't go was I had two test the week of SEMA, then the syllabus changed and I took both those test last week. I could have went, but I didn't get my PT dinner tickets in time. I had a chance to go w/ Kicker, and stay in a suite for free but I needed to stay home this year and work on my schoolwork. Next year I am 100%.

You guys arent alone.
I have always wanted to go but there is just no way I could afford it. Especially flying from Michigan. However I am glad everyone is having fun. At least with living in Michigan I can easily attend Woodward every year.

Working on my 69 Camaro and my girlfriends 67 Mustang is consuming all our money right now.

Planned on going all year, this would be the third year in a row, but about two months ago we decided to put the money into the camaro and try like hell to drive it next year. Also, I took the wife on a Mexican cruise last month as a HUGE thank you for agreeing to allow the build cost of the camaro to...well...basically double! She shares the 'build it right the first time' mentality...thank God for that!!

Tony, you have to get the Camaro done. You don't have any more rooms to store the boxes of parts in!

Oh yea, thank the Mrs. for the wonderful chocolate chip cookies the other night. Wish I could have found a wife that supported my passion for performance cars. Lucky dog!!!

Hey Tony!!

It's great with support like that from the family.

I guess you still have a lot of work to do on it but if you work hard it will be done before you know it. Keep going

Thanks for stopping by, I'll have to head over and check out the nova soon!!

Yep, buying parts is BIG fun, but finding places to store them can be a challenge!!

Yep, I have a ton of work left to do, but I'm back on the project and trying to move forward at least weekly if not daily...thanks for adding a little more wind in my sail...it's much needed!! And yes, I can't imagine trying to take on a project like this without an understanding wife...
