Great pictures Dave!! So great, in fact, that I'm seriously regretting
missing it this year. I have decided to fly out to Carlisle next year as I
am determined not to miss it again.
And, Tom...Dave is right. From looking at the many pictures that he took of
your 58 Belv. Convertible, it is obvious that this is the product of
top-notch work and I hope to see it with my own eyes next year.
