Hope you all enjoyed the thread and the comeback is complete!
I could not have asked for a better turnout on car with great people doing the work. I really enjoyed the whole process even a 5 day covention was more than I ever could have imagined. I will have great memories of talking to people and seeing other cars. The car did win a gold and that was great too. But, more important was the response of people and the comments of praise and wanting to know more about the GT-37. Car was even photographed professionally and love the way it looks in sun, also it got invited to MCACN's as were probably many at show. I look forward to showing it more just not sure where... I am especially happy with how well the car sits level on frame with the spring/handling package states, the ride is powerful, it sounds stock thanks to Dan, and the interior was a big hit thanks to Todd, but best is the color/stripe and paint by Darrell.

Hey Pat, Your 455 HO poster will hang proudly in Dan Jensen garage, and I get the shirt. Great job on those!
You should start a thread on the 72 HO's you documented! Oh, thats right you have a website for that. Nice walking the lot with you and gaining some HO knowledge! Lets do it again!!

Hey Mike,
It was a real pleasure meeting you, Pat, and Chris S. and taking in that STUNNING GT-37! It was, hands-down, one of my favorites of the entire Co-Vention. I hope you enjoy it in good health! And thanks Pat for bringing the HO banner. I'll be hanging it in a place of honor in the garage! Vince PS - Here's a shot of (as I like to call him) the "HO-whisperer", with my car. I hope he doesn't mind! It was great talking HO stuff with you guys.

Great to meet up with you Vince! Glad you guys like the banners and the 455-HO.com stuff....thanks for the support of 455-HO.com! I'm still learning like you guys...was great to talk to Terry Pope about his car, and seeing some factory "flubs" from a first hand owner. His car came without the HO AC bracket, and never had the preheater tube connected on the pass side!
Loved your car too Vince! I took some engine shots for my web site. Gotta give the 71's some props! Hope to update the engine picture page and separate 71/72 and models. Good times fellas, that why I goto these shows! Thanks Dayton!

I think a lot of people just have never seen a early 71 GT-37 before (Judges included got a education). The stripes were the topic when they said never seen stripes like these before.
Let alone a 4 speed 455 HO car. Lots of people asks alot of questions about these cars and that was a treat. Mine even had the creature comforts like carpet and vinyl seats too. But, imagine what a really low option GT-37 with rubber floor, fabric seat car, no trim at all 455 HO would look like. Roger, that would be one to show and give a education on....
