Dave,

I didn't know you had the 57! Did you have it at JC Whitney?

No, got it a week before the joint chapter meet in Des Plaines. It looks pretty good but I'm not ready to show it yet. I had it at the meet. Still has quite a ways to go.

Just Visiting - actually, we'll be visiting Ill. soon to see my dad and several of my brothers. He lives up around Fox Lake.

I haven't lived in Ill. since around 1972 or 1973, but Steve & I go up about every three years to visit.

Do any of you ever go to Volo?? My dad turned us on to that place about 12 years ago and we go spend a day there whenever we're up there. Here's a link to the place if you've never been there -

Haven't been yet, but it's on my "To-Do" list before the end of summer or maybe in the fall.

I haven't been to Volo since before the cars that are on display there now were made! (a very long time ago) Maybe a group of us could meet there sometime!

I'll think about you guys when I'm at Volo next week. Not sure which day we're going but it will definately be a weekday since we fly in to Chicago on Saturday the 28th and leave on Saturday the 5th.

We'll try not to snag up all the good deals we find there.
