    first 2 guys that walked up...one told the other..."Big Block Mav."

    another... 2 mins. later..."Boss 302".

    my favorite..."look at these valve covers he made". :cool:

    ...and..."it that a 351"?

    all this before i got the chairs set up.

    200 people asked if we owned the Sweet '58 Impala 'vert next to us...
