Hey Crew.
Been a while since I've talked to all of you. Hope your all well and ready for spring & M/V season. We have our first event in a few weeks at Wapello Iowa. A Military vehicle display followed by a nice lunch provided by the Ladies from the Museum.
Trying to get the 87 Chevy dressed up like a replica M1008 but life keeps throwing out the anchor! What's up with that???????? Hey, ever forward! :D
Talk again soon.

Hello Ole Buddy!
Yes-Sir, things are starting to get better! Been a long winter with a few lil speed bumps but ain't no stopping the Powell's!
We have a full list of "to-do" things this summer so it's hammer down, full speed ahead. Even had the old Plymouth out yesterday.

What a nice ride! I considered doing a staff car at one point-they show up on eBay once in a while but I'm getting to the point that I don't want to wrench so much anymore.

Good Morning Gary & Crew.
I think, but am not positive they quite using Plymouth staff cars in the early 40's. 42 maybe?
Outs is a 48, which by the way my first car was a 48 Plymouth. It still would make a nice one.
Right now I'm not able to take on another painting project so that will be another day.
Been trying to get my replica CUCV finished. Since it hast to pull double duty, firewood
and Replica Military I'm trying to keep it simple. I did get my receiver hitch built so I can
put a pintle hitch on her! (sorta' messed up my paint job)
I better get gone, gotta' take my Lori to rehab.
