Thanks Bruce! Saw some cars I haven't seen since hanging around the bad paths decades ago in OH and IN such as Cha Cha's, Ramchargers, Ault James, Apricot Brandy, and others. Time for more pics of yours! Steve

Steve,
Yes, lots of great cars in and from Southern Ohio.

The 57 Gasser is at the body shop and almost ready for paint.
It has a great body which will paint nicely.
I'll post pics when it's painted.
Have a nice Thanksgiving.

Hi Dan, see my reply to Bill re: this lead. Very intersting conversation and trip down memory lane. Wish it had worked out. Thanks a bunch.

I'm from Columbus and remember a 57 Corvette with the I beam front end stiffner on it. About 1965, raced at local strips and street. Name was Robin Janton, not sure of spelling. He owned a gun shop back then. He lived on the West side, Upper Arlington or close by, He was the local legend! Regards,
Dan
