All I can say is Wow!!! I really didn't know what to expect for a turn out today since we didn't get but a few pregistrations, Peggy and I were concerned if anyone would come, After rescheduling from rain and then getting that rain shower this morning i thought for sure no one would attend, but the skies cleared up by 8am beautifully and we had a great turn out with some really cool cars and some pretty awesome people. Some I haven't seen for quite a few years and I was so happy to see. Mark, Mike and Melinda, to name a couple. I ran around almost the entire show taking care of things including a vehicle breakdown but everytime I looked around it seemed everyone was really enjoying everything. There were kids playing co****le, the band was playing great tunes, the c***r and donuts were a hit, and the hamburger and hotdogs were really good too, so far I have heard nothing but great things about the show. A few people even asked me where I'm going to put all the cars next year after the word gets out about how great our show was. I was blown away by all the positive feedback. Peggy joined in with the band and sang a few songs which is always a super special treat. None of this could've happened without the help of several people. Darrian Tefft, Sarah Burner, Evan Kraeling, Rosalind Kraeling, Dave Dave, Lisa Davis Lindeman, Kim Montgomery, Chrystal, Joe Kenworthy, Barb, Cade Wilson, Josie Brown, Ron Gosselin, Tom Styles, and the rest of the Santuary Blues Band, Estelle Lashbrook, Tom Lashbrook, O'Reilly auto parts, Julie Mechalko, Kristen nicole, Jason and Shannon Holmes Handyside, and Eric Parrish. I can't thank you all enough for your contributions in this, this was quite an undertaking and all these people helped in various ways that meant allot to me. So thank you All. And for those that attended and gave generously to help raise money for G.R.O.W. THANK YOU Very Much!!!!!
I,ll have some more pics and videos to share once I gather them all. But for now, here's the trophy winners.

I want to give a big shout out to Cade Wilson at Sterling Engines for his donation of misc engine parts to help build the trophies for the Sept 19th CARR Show at The Carr Farm. I can't wait to get creative making these with Darrian Tefft and Sarah Burner from Burner Built. This is going to be fun!!
I guess this is a little spoiler alert of what's coming...
If you need any kind of fab or welding work done or performance engine building done. These are the people that'll get it done, and done right!!!!

It's always satisfying when the quality of your work exceeds the customers expectations, this 1978 Marty Blue Trans Am is a full restoration and is headed back home to Minneapolis. I'll post a full album of the project soon.

PSA, Keeping your possessions (and yourself) clean costs almost nothing. I've only had a few vehicles over the 45 years in this business that were like this, this one ranks in the top 2. What's worse? There was a child seat in this car and trash was right up to the bottom of it, i asked the owner to come clean this car out so i could work on it, and this is what was considered cleaned out. Absolutely disgusting.
Mouse nests, live bugs, the seat base under where the child seat was has a green color mold growing in the fabric which i assume was from p**s? Idk about you, but I'm sure glad i wasn't brought up in an environment like this.. this is just Gross
