Missed it by that much!!

First off a big congrats to you, Bill for the November ROTM award. Couldn't have went to a more deserving guy with one killer ride, and thats the truth.

I was kind of surprised that mine made it as far as it did! There for a good long time I kept sayin' to myself "One of these days..." and sure enough that day came. I came I saw I did but I fell short in the end, but hey thats the breaks. It sure was a pleasure and a honor to boot to be in with such a great group of the spookiest rides we have here.

Hey, we'll get 'em next month or in the months to come one way or the other.

Again 2 thumbs up for Bill!

Congrats to Bill.
Slammin, hang in there your time will come. Have you ever notice when Jason picks the cars there always tuff to pick. I think he does that just to make us work hard. (Jason i know picking the five you come up with is even harder) but you sure make it tuff on us.

But hang in there Slammin, it took me two or three times to get picked.
But just being pick one of the top five was a great feeling.

Congratulations Bill.
That's one great looking car (I hate all you guys with 40's...I WANT ONE!!). There was one a few miles from me, in a farm shed that I could see from the highway. I asked about it a couple times, it was never for sale. Now, it's gone, don't know if they sold it, or are working on it somewhere. 40's are my favorite.

Al,
I would've been, but now I'm working on a '41 Pontiac. I can't handle more than one car at a time, but thanks.

Bill I know what ya mean, we all had alot of competition this time around. Usually guys always come off with the excuse 'Eh, my rides too ugly to win', this time around ugly as sin and spookys where it's at!!

God knows my rides big and ugly! Eh, we'll get 'em next time around.

Again, Congrats!

Congrats Bill, well deserved. There's a great article in this months issue of Streetrodder mag regarding the differences in the 39's and 40's. Well worth the read, especially on the long flight you got ahead. Congrats again and safe travels, bud.

Hi folks: I just got home yesterday afternoon and head back out today, driving to New Joyzee.

I can't believe what I'm seeing on the news right now! A plane crash in Queens, NY!!!!! At this time, it's still too early to tell if it was caused by mechanical failure, human error or another act of terrorism...........

Lemme tell ya folks, having to travel for a living at this point in time is real wierd........I find myself now driving whenever I can.

To 35Delivery: coincidentaly, I'll be in Atlanta toward the end of this month, but I won't be driving a hotrod. Alas, they're put up for the winter.....so, I'll be driving our winter highway cowboy cruiser, an F-150 4x4, extended cab, Lariat package, killer stereo w/CD changer, short box-flair side, all black with a cap....and, radio antennas (duhh, I'm a radio engineer....gotta have a few antennas.....chuckle).

Later dudes and dudettes.....I'm outta here again till the end of the week.

OoooOooommMMMmmmmmmm

Bill- since you're going to be in the area can I jet you to deliver 2 of your small white moon stickers? ( I know this will cost me a LOT in delivery charges-HaHa!) Maybe we can hook up with Steve (HOTRODSRJ) since he's up in this area too. Any time but Thanksgiving weekend is great and if I'm not in my rod I too have a Z-71 4x4 pickup that does the "dirty work". I've e-mailed you my contact info at the store so check your messages and we'll hope to see you later in the month.
