Need to finish a few more things then get on the road and some better Pic. .Thanks for asking
ClayD THAT'S gonna turn some heads!
Landscape Doctor Other than awesome, I am speechless. Your the Man, Jim.
jwallis Looks like you're having fun in the garage!
Rayman very creative, I am amazed. real unique.
Rayman
Landscape Doctor I think I figured out Jim's m/o.
I watched the new Mad Max movie last night. Me thinks Jim was one of the vehicle prop builders for the movie. That is why he needed to take a break from his own project.
Larry Lord I want to see it in person! I'll be in Florida next week if you are available.

I'm flying into RSW to pick up a motor home in Saint James City FL then heading to Rotunda to Visit Mike and Karen Gatlin.
After that I'm heading to the Garlits Museum then a visit with Jim Sutton before heading back to California. I'm hoping to be able to stop in for a visit with Laddie and Karen Roussel in Hester LA before I head to San Antonio for a visit with Paul and Peggy Hines and Tom and Dawn Lavka.
Plans are very fluid at this time.

Larry - wish I was going to home on San Antonio when you come through but I leave next Monday April 9 for a bit over two weeks...enjoy your trip back to California and your time with Prowler friends!

Larry Lord Thanks Marty. I forgot all about you being in Texas now.
I hope to see you and many more old friends at a Prowler event this year.
Landscape Doctor Yes Tom correct. Good movie.

Larry Lord Many thanks to Mike and Karen Gatlin for your hospitality while I was on my way back to California. Your new house is beautiful!
Tom and Susie Mills, Thank you very much for the tour and the great lunch.
Jim Sutton, I'll see you tomorrow before I go to meet Dano.
Laddie, You can expect to see me on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
Tom and Dawn Lavka, I'll see you Thursday PM after I spend the day with Pauley Hines.
It's been a fun trip so far. Being able to catch up with old friends is priceless!
Landscape Doctor Ok,,,, I have to admit I am very jealous of Mike,,,, you see,,, he has sandals on. I am still wearing 2 pair of heavy socks and boots.lol
Larry Lord I stopped to visit with Jim Sutton yesterday. He's an amazingly creative guy. If you ever get a chance to meet Jim and visit his garage and workshop, do it!
Jim, Thanks for taking the time to visit with me yesterday. I loved your place and your projects.
