Hi Chuck,

Good to hear from you too! We're just north of Durham, NC. I don't know if
there are any other list members in the area but an OSHIT would be great in
the spring. He just started on the car yesterday so he has a ways to go,
and it's getting cold here. We do have a garage now but it is used for my
guitar building business. The car is now on a concrete pad in front of the
garage. For years it sat on the gravel driveway which wasn't the best thing
for it.

Best,

Robert Weeks
