It's been a pretty emotional few days. Engines, brakes, wiring, etc. are not what makes a car. What it stirs in us emotionally does. The graphics going on the car did that for me. It's the culmination of almost a year of planning, preparation, and a sense of trying to give back.

Without further ado, the 2013 Honor Flight Camaro.






Larry Callahan came over with his camera gear and ladder. We made our way over to a local parking lot and did our best magazine photo dude impression. We'll keep our day jobs. Muchas Gracias amigo (those last three words will be very ironic in a short time..... ;-)))

We're as ready as can be, just a few small things to attend to this weekend and she ships via L.A. Prep on Monday.

How sweet is that!


You're going to have a hoot Carl.... just remember to savor the moments. I'm sure on a trip like this it will be too easy to get caught up in the competitive aspects... so try to just suck it all in. Killer tracks - great friends, new and old, and all the scenery along the way. It'll be epic!

The graphics, mods to the front end, new hood, and 18” wheels. It all really came together… the car looks great Carl

Now all the hard work is done… enjoy the experience and goodluck!

Fresh Wallpaper pics!

Keeping you and the cause in mind, she really looks great! Very tastefully done to say the least.

I really look forward to seeing this car "in the tin" Carl.

Going through some last minute hassles myself but am optimistic that once I hit the road for OLOA .... the stresses, disappointments and delays will be forgotten.

C ya soon.
