Hello Everyone!

Anyone going to the national meet in SC this October? I was originally planning on it, but my wife had to get pregnant... so ya, that's not happening. :) But, none-the-less, I'm going to have another little Scarola boy running around soon! :) Another future Volvo owner I suppose... I just wonder if he'll be interested in the Old Lady. He may have to fight it out of my firstborn son's hands. Will be interesting to say the least! Ha ha.

I hope all are doing great. The Old Lady is doing good... Didn't do a whole lot to her this year, although I did finally fix the bumpers and Yankee Bars which had been previously unattached at the front. Had to get some special nut inserts since the holes in my Yankee Bar were not tapped. After some unbolting of the bumper brackets and other nuts, and crimping in the two nut inserts, everything clamped down perfectly. And thankfully I didn't crack any chrome while I was at it! I'm still sweating bullets from that operation. :)

I'm still selling my book and thinking of doing a one year anniversary special with some new pictures and information. If anyone's interested in buying, the link is here: http://www.amazon.com/The-Old-Lady-Restoration-Volvo/dp/1497574986

Well I hope all are well and looking forward to great stories and pictures from the Meet!!

All the best,

Tony

    Congrats, Tony.

    I'm not going to make the SC meet due to work travel.

    Btw, thoroughly enjoyed your book!

    Always good to hear from you Tony!

    I too, have been a bit less online here of late, though not necessarily for the same reasons, rather, just having a bunch of stuff going on.

    Great to hear all is well with you and yours.(old lady included)

    Keep up the good work in all that you do!

    And congratulations!
