Upon arrival at Casa Nelson, you are struck by the scenic setting and how few cars are immediately visible.

After a quick welcome and renewing bonds with the family, we begin the tour, building after building, basements and attics, car after car.

The tour goes on for hours and they are wonderful hours.

The Studebakers

The Monza and headers

The Drag Week Studebaker

Both in the new garage

Old Friends

Mount Header

I had the priveledge to help on the Drag Week car

Nice lil old 496 cube

We went out to eat and then on Saturday Andrew, Cameron and I went to the Jalopy festival first and then to Carlysle for the Import and kit car Nationals

We also went through the Eastern Museum at the grounds of the Festival

We met up with the Classic Motorsports crew at the Import Nats.

I had a blast, thank you to the Nelson's for making me welcome and spending some time in GRM Nurvana

That's an understatement. I've said several times that the magazine I REALLY want to read is named "What's Happening in Andy Nelson's Garage"

looks like you had a blast

I have been wondering where that went. It used to sit behind Mickeys daughters shop that was a few doors down from where I worked. It just sat behind the fence with the nose up for 5 years or so and then one day was gone.
