Ok, I think I am recovered enough to post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It was amazing how well everyone worked together. We had no issues that could not be handled, less some missing parts and wiring issues. I will be typing up notes with diagrams for the offending circuit to aid in figuring it all out.

My motives for going out to Garden City were purely selfish. I had a great time, doing something that I love, with lots of excellent people (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This will be an event I can always look back on fondly and feel all kinds of good about.

The several comparisons that Mary made between Lee and I made me feel very proud. We are all glad to have given something so that Lee's memory can live on. I have no doubt that Buttercup will be passed down for a few generations, and that is epic.

The whole Shortridge family was very kind to us and I enjoyed meeting and working with all of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This forum is strange in its abilities to connect people who would otherwise be geographical strangers.

I could ramble on for several pages about how wonderful all of this was, but others have captured that quite eloquently already and I agree (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am glad to have all of you as part of my family. Life is sweeter having met you all.

Dude go smoke a cigar and take a couple shots. You need to man up after all that mushy dribble (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Dad is 6'6" and had a bit of trouble getting his knees under the steering wheel. I'm not quite sure how KS914 does it! I thought you would enjoy the photo we took Monday. It is SUCH a hoot to walk in and see such a beautiful car. Dad really enjoyed meeting all of you, and watching how well you worked together. Thanks so much!

Having participated only vicariously, it has been inspiring to watch. I must say Buttercup is one beautiful car!

Mary, the smile on your Dad's face in that picture is so awesome!

Also, thank you for the Matchbox car! Very unexpected and very much appreciated! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Maybe Dwayne can use the box of parts we did not? The "used but not garbage" box that I assembled.

I had Buttercup's windshield installed yesterday. Today...I'll take a squeege so I can put the "914World" graphic on the back window! And the Tangerine Racing logo, too!

I sure would if there was any sun here!!!
You'd still need sunglasses if she were outside, though!
Sunny outside photos soon, I promise!

Photos are uploaded to flickr. Some dates are goofed up, some duplicates: I'll fix as time permits.

We were very motivated... We had to keep working to keep from going comatose from eating all the available food. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Mary,

It was a pleasure to be able to help you. I got to see old friends, and make new ones. Any weekend with good company, cool cars, and good food is great, but this was really special for me. The more I learned about your brother, the more I realize the 914 community lost one of it's own. He would have fit right in here.

And I wanted to thank the person responsible for my ride home too. That was the icing on the cake.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) plus we had to keep moving away from Dr. Evil's chili gas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

while I agree with Clay that we lost one of our own, before we even got to meet him, I also think we FOUND one of our won in Mary. so many people would have either sold Lee's car or scrapped it. but she took Lee's dream and made it her own, and built it up to something truly special. the fact that she allowed a bunch of strangers(some stranger than others) in, treated them like family, fed them like family and let us help make the car part of the family... well, that is more special than words can describe.

helping out was the right thing to do, that much is obvious. but it was one of the most fun, and rewarding experiences in my life. I got to meet people from all over the country, hang out, and share a passion for these rusty little NARPs. we got to live this event in one of the nicest "shops" I've ever seen. calling it a shop isn't even fair. it's as clean as a museum, yet as comfortable as a nice house.

if I hadn't been there I would truly feel left out. from the outside, the amount of work that was done in a few days seems impossible. but the team work and motivation was second to none.
