Gonna do wit myself and source local companies for metal treatments.

Gonna be a learning experience either way, but I'll get er done.
You're braver than I am, for me I would have already sent it off to Shep. But then again I don't have a Lexus as my second car, lol.

Make sure you take pics and notes, I definitely want to learn more about our transmissions.

Almost time for some BBQ. Get them cars cleaned up and I will be taking some pictures today. I would like to get everybody together in a parking lot or something so I can get a good group shot.

Let's get the word out, it's a free event and you guys have all seen the types of cars that show up, it's worth waking up early on Saturday.

Weather looks good, forecast says 0% rain until noon, then it goes up to 50%.

I'll be there at 8:30am, let's do our best to park together...
