Sunday morning was cooler and much drier, no humidity! Awards were at 11 AM, I came away with "long distance" and "Best Commercial"....wow!! They had homemade trophies, really cool, the commercial was an antique tin truck with a Deuces Limited logo on it, and a metal plaque with "Best Commercial" engraved on it, much nicer that a store bought plaque!
We all left about noon, (7 hot rods) for a scenic drive thru the Texas hills to Norm's place. He is the one I bought the #42 car from. Checked out his projects. He just finished a deuce frame, had another set of rails there, a tudor body, a 4 door, a 5 window, 2 original frames, his 29 with a hemi and his 56 f100 with a big block Ford. He drives a steel roadster with a Hemi. He is a busy guy.
We got to Charlies house about 9 PM, had a good drive home, talked about deuces until midnight. I left this morning about 9:30, drove 9 hours, took a total of 1 hour10 minutes for all breaks, gas, lunch, etc. 560 miles. Tonight I am in KC. Plans are to get an early start about 6:30 and head on home. Hope to beat some traffic around KC. I'm on the south side, so will need to take 435 around the east side.
The car is running great, it is a real joy to drive it. It rides so soft, I think I will take a leaf or two out of the roadster's rear to soften it up before next summer comes.

See ya all soon...........................Dale
Damn, another trip is about over! It will be back to the shop on the Buick project.
