Dear Tom and Ray:
There’s a lot of responsibility when you’re charged with finishing a good friend’s last project. Gary Meyers takes that responsibility seriously.
A couple of weeks ago, we asked readers to help out Mark Shattuck, who is trying to put together a plan for restoring his 1969 Camaro. We have received several responses, most of them going into considerable detail.
Dear Tom and Ray:
Retooled, refocused and under new ownership, this weekend’s Starbird-Devlin Rod and Customs Charities Car Show is bringing in more than 300 show cars from across the country.
Dwayne Vaughn was a little worried when he looked in his rear view mirror as he was hauling his just-purchased 1968 Camaro coupe away on a trailer. What he saw was the woman he had just paid for the car, hopping up and down, enthusiastically waving goodbye to his newfound prize.
Dear Tom and Ray:
Jan. 20-22: Starbird-Devlin Rod & Customs Charities Car Show, Century II. Call Carl at 316-755-2198.
HILLSBORO — Corey Farris drove a mean-looking black 1978 with a full-bore flame job on the front end to high school. What could be cooler than that?
Wheels page reader Mark Shattuck wrote recently that with his youngest child graduating from college next year, he is looking forward to restoring his 1969 Camaro. He wanted some feedback on how people go about planning such a project.
Dear Tom and Ray:
Cary Marks is perhaps best known as a model car guy in and around Wichita. He has been a familiar face at swap meets and model builders events for about as long as anyone can remember.
As this year comes to an end, it's only natural that we look back on it, even as we start thinking of what will come in the new year ahead.
Dear Tom and Ray:
To say that the beautiful little 1929 Pontiac Sport Roadster holds a special place in the Albers family's hearts doesn't even begin to sum up the car's significance.
It really shouldn't come as so much of a surprise, but I still do a double-take every time I see a certain little teal-colored Subaru Brat zipping down the street. My first reaction is always, "Hey, who's driving my little truck?"
