Cars are loaded and headed out to the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago this weekend. Anyone from the Forum going to be at the event? If so, I hope to meet you there! There will be a GT40, the Matech and other GT's from what I've heard. Should be a blast...

The GT had prime space right at the entrance of the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals! You sure couldn't miss it... lot's of incredible feedback. In fact I even talked to a '05-'06 team member from Ford, he loved the car! Life is good...

When you walked into the show you saw this car, my '59 Purple People Eater Corvette by Nickey Chevrolet.

Lance, you keep doing all these interviews you're going to need a PR manager! I'm volunteering as long as I can move all the cars around for you!

I had no idea that Dana Mecum owned that early GT40 roadster. Business must be good. Very good.

Thanks for posting all those pix. I didn't think there'd be that much Ford iron there.

I wasn't aware the car even still existed. I've been wanting to build a version of that car on a 05/06 GT body shell. these pictures are awesome!

Yes, I was blown away by the pictures. But to see all these amazing cars in person was something every car guy/girl should experience. Simply stunning!

Life is good,

Hey Lance, I saw your cars and they looked great. Too bad we did not get a chance to meet, hopefully next time. The event was amazing as always, something for everyone.
