GREAT seeing/meeting everyone! It sure seemed like everyone enjoyed themselves.

The "most obviously enjoyed himself" award goes to Andrew!
Martin, my buddy and master fabricator showed up and helped guide Andrew through the process of bending up his main roll hoop and door bars.

I asked Andrew if he wanted to roll bend the top of the main hoop to match the targa bar. Andrew proved himself a slave to fashion (just like me!) by getting this silly grin on his face and saying "Yes, I WANT THAT!".

So with the smallest of help getting him started, Andrew roll bent the tube as the first step. Then Andrew, his dad Dan and Martin, knocked out the rest of the bends.

The hoop fits perfectly! Just look at the match to the targa bar curve! Great job, Andrew! No wonder you're so happy with that result.

Mike (Mueller) made an appearance too. So good to see him and his twin girls!
He brought with him a .dxf file for some suspension tower reinforcements for his Volvo.
I support modifications of any car ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) so with a bit of plasma table we whipped out a pair of parts.
Took all of about 2 minutes.

Christopher (MotoTrooper) planned to use the English wheel to make a roof panel for his Lancia/Subaru project. Well, it turns out that I had 3 examples of roof panels for 33/34 Ford coupes that were practice pieces from the Lazze metal shaping course I took.
Would you believe they measure out so close to what Christopher needs that we opted to give these a trial fit!
So with 10 minutes of measuring, into his car they went!

Steve (NapaSteve) arrived in his Olympic Blue 2.0. Such a nice car. He has to give me first right of refusal if he ever decides to sell it. (I won't hold my breath.)

Krieger (Andy) showed up in his crazy nice 75. Tastefully modified in many ways, this is one of my favorite 914s. Pics don't do it justice.

And don't miss Mark's (Mark Howard) '68 Camaro convertible. So cool!
(Of course I like it, I have chevy power in my 914!)

Thanks Chris for hosting this, great meeting a bunch of members I have not meet yet as well as seeing my other old friends I've known for years.

thank Lori for taking my girls out shopping, they had a great time. The answer is still no to getting a cat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

thanks for cutting that plate, no way I'd get such nice circles with my handheld plasma.

somehow I came home with more stuff than I came up there with, thanks for the tube notcher, I will make sure it goes to a good home when I am done with it.

I put a pretty good scratch in the Land Rover rear bumper on that fence I backed into, surprisingly my wife Sherryl didn't get too upset. I blamed it on the backup camera (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Such a great day! I havent had a day like this in a long time. Thank you Chris and Martin for making the main hoop! I would love to say I helped but I am sure I was more of a hindrance. I did learn a lot! End result was amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better hoop.

Glad to meet all of you that I haven't met yet and good to see so many familiar faces!! I think I counted 12 people at one time.

I'll have to resize my pics to post so that will have to wait (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Chris,

Thank you for hosting this event, I had a great time and the best part was meeting some of the World members. Great bunch of guys! And of course learning several things was a bonus.

Cheers,
John
