Jerry,

Welcome to the club. Beautiful ride you have there. If Tom says it's first rate, then that's saying something. Looking forward to doing more stuff this summer. I'm the guy who was setting to your immediate right last night.

welcome JerryH my brother-n-law lives near Troy and the n-laws or near Maryville in Collinsville, been to that new winery yet in Maryville...
I like the color of your roadster,,;) how is that 392 stroker in it!!

going phsyco waiting, the build will be an experience the body probably will be painted
locally i have a few in mind, but i will probably do all the massaging on it and get it ready

TBull, I think we met somewhere before. Maybe last year at the Wentzville Carshow/Cruise that got rained out? Thanks for the compliment. I always look at other peoples car and tend to want to hide mine. LOL I try to keep the outside clean but seldom want to open the hood.

BigLeo, Haven't made it that winery in Maryville yet. Drive right by it all the time though. I have been to the one near Aviston, Il http://www.hiddenlakewinery.com/ Usually I'm the DD (designated driver) when we go to wineries, not much on wine but do like the atmosphere & scenery (outdoors and drunken bachelorette parties, what's not to like). Although a few wineries have now started Microbrewering, might have to find another DD for those trips. Also thanks for the compliment. Was going to go either silver w/ blk stripes or burgandy and white, went to a couple of London shows and decided on dark grey and silver. The 392 pulls pretty strong, the Nitto drag radials actually hook pretty good especially with the IRS. Good Luck on your build.

Jerry's car is first rate. He gave me my first ride in his cobra when I was contemplating my build.

Sorry I missed you last night! We'll catch up durring warm weather.
My wife loves going to Avistion winery, and I'm in the same predicament, I end up driving home. At lest it's pretty close.

[BigLeo69]

i was at there open house and many bottles latter i couldn't get my thumb to move up or down:D
i think they need to do something there about the acoustics, sound bouncing of of all those hard surfaces.:eek: from the last big project i did on a theater and the sound system they could of spent some cash on acoustics. the person that owns it owns the Piasa winery.
i know a judge on your side of the river a very good man used to be a DA at the Eagleton
was in charge of crimes against children, i use to know his name but it escapes me, we see each other from time to time at the federal courthouse.
