I've not been to that one, I've gone to this one quite often:

Just out of curiosity, how much total do you have wrapped up into it so far? (if you care to share)

Wondering if something like this is feasible for a "regular" joe or not

I am a regular guy. I have less than the price of a new cheap car into it.

Got some paint work done. Before and after. [URL=http://s1312.photobucket.com/user/glhs289/media/126_zps2eb3e4e6.jpg.html][/URL]

Also good news today. I am missing the engine cover. Some guys found it while going through some containers that are out behind the old factory. Even has my VIN on it.

I helped a guy sell his Consulier and as a thank you, he sent me this. It's an ad from way back in the early 90's with my car in it. <a href="">

I like the numbers. Are you going to bring it to any more events this year, or is it put to bed for the winter?

I wish we weren't in opposite ends of the country, I'd love to see it in person sometime.

I will be at a show Wednesday. In Gresham Oregon, at Billy Bobs.

...at Main Avenue near Third Street

333 N Main Ave Gresham, OR 97030

In the evening, anytime after 3 pm, goes till 8 I think.

Cool, maybe I'll try to check it out after work.

Make sure if you do to stop and see me and introduce yourself.

Looks like I will be getting a piece I am missing for my car....the engine cover.

When it arrives, I am going to take it to have it duplicated. Then save this one. I want it made without the louvers. I want a hole in the area of my engine so the polished aluminum intake and cover can be seen. And also I know of another Consulier guy that needs one.

The car is missing the white fiberglass rear wing. The fans need one there to work. To be able to suck air through the center part of the radiator. Photo of the first temporary wing I made and the new improved one.

This is my favorite car in all of GRM world, what is cooler thana grassroots American supercar!!

Thank you. And my favorite of all cars. :)

Got my Grassroots sticker on today! Pulled it out of the garage and took it for a drive. Got caught in the rain on the way back.
