A couple of weeks ago when Greg and I went to rescue the Dime and Jason's 411, we got to meet Les Cannaday. He let me wander through his shop and take lots of pictures. Check this out...

WOW. Great work Bex, love the pictures. I Wish I could have been there. I hope those race cars end up in a museum where everybody can see them, rather than a private collection hidden away somewhere...

I am very blessed. Just trying to give back a little and share it with those who will appreciate it.

Historical y0. When I saw the pics of the Paul Newman 300zx, I felt like like Andrew Zimmern does after eating something really good, with that face he makes. I can't find a word for it. Astonishment is close.

The people that run the museum had a booth set up last year at JCCS. We met Mr. K's personal assistant and a couple of really nice people who work there. Talk about an awesome group of people with some amazing stories to tell. Can't wait to go!!!

That blue has so much depth to it, it actually looks wet. I'm not a fan of blue cars but that thing is gorgeous.
