Group Photo
More to come, but this is a start! Tony, please add names.
I'm not sorry the picture is big because I know you all want it this way! :thumbsup:
OK, the group photo was a good place to start, but I'm going to take this back a couple days (for a few shots)
because Tony took time to show me around a bit. So, in the order they were taken...
Tony brought me to the George Barris (mini) museum to see a couple favorites, you might recognize Tony Munster...
And Batman... (I actually got a lot of photos of this car)
And Mr. Barris...
Afterward, we went on to the Neathercutt Museum where there were 100's of old cars worth millions,
1 of which of Italian design you might recognize....
Then off to a recycle center where Tony gets some of his parts... :doh
this is me)
We did a bit of cruising through some windy roads and Tony gave me the opportunity to drive Black Tooth.
I didn't know the roads and took it easy (slower than normal) After getting 'honked' at by the
driver behind me
I decided it was time for the master to regain control.
So here I am in the driver's seat of the infamous Black Tooth...
Here is a RARE photo of the interior of Black Tooth...
So Saturday, the party begins...
Mike arrives first with his Yellow X, followed by George and his super-styled Dallara.
Got to admit, I spent a lot of time photographing Georges car. There's nothing else like it! :thumbsup:
Note the design in the rear where the spoiler stays out of the way of the rear trunk lid. Nice design...
Also, Angello is holding the future head this car will receive sometime soon.
Pictured here is Tony, Mike, George and Angello. Mike's car is on the left. My next car is on the right... :guitar:
Then everyone started showing up and the party was at full throttle.
Couldn't help myself, had to get a photo of the interior...
Attention to detail is excellent...
Ed DeCarbo drove for hours in the hot sun to make it. It was great finally meeting him in person. A big thank you to his wife for making the long uncomfortable trip. (no AC!)
Here's a photo of Bob Turgeon's seats... that I've been looking for...
I don't have a picture loaded yet but the paint is absolutely magnificent!
Here's a photo of me and Papa Tony.. (JJ in the background)
Here's L-R me, Rudy and Doug (the rat!) who's a great guy BTW
Here's Ricardo and family. (his kids are adorable)
Ricardo brought me a special gift of clear lenses for my trailer queen 1986 X.
Many many thanks for that Ricardo! (photo forthcoming)
Here's a photo of Dan, JJ and Rudy. -A little blurry but it shows Rudy holding his camera... I'm anxious to see what he got... :excited:
And finally a photo of JJ and family. JJ, you're a lucky man! :hug: Their daughter is so cute! Tell Mary I'm sorry her eyes were closed in the photo.
Lastly, I want to tell you all that Papa Tony and Sharon were the BEST of hosts, they opened up
their home to me, a "cyber friend" and made me feel like family. Words can't describe my appreciation,
but a huge THANK YOU to the Natoli Family. I'll never forget it.
Hope you all enjoyed the preview. I've got tons more I'll post later.
