Thanks Duncan. I would have some more/better pics, but there were too many cars to cover in one day!

I think Austin did a pretty good job of covering everything, but I have some pics too. I wanted to say again, there was bumkiss as far as Ford selection was concerned. I also had a great time meeting the guys, they were pretty cool if you ask me, I was honored they were willing to slum with me. I think we can all say with the lack of selection we all ended up going home with stuff we didn't think we would have. I have to say, ol' Steven is a helluva negotiator as well, the guy will split a penny if it means he's not paying asking price...haha. Austin was quick with jokes that made Bailee blush all afternoon...hahaha. I was also privileged to meet one of Steven's friends too. That said, when the dust settled, I went home with some emblems, original literature, and some sorta soft memory foam mats I thought would make the concrete a little softer when wrenching. Enjoy the pics:

I can't begin to tell you how annoying it was listening to God know how many sellers saying 'this car sold for $XX,XXX at Barrett Jackson'. Surrounded by car guys, it was surprising for to hear that. There were more cars there bondo'd up one side and down the other with paint that had serious orange peel being pawned off as 'all original' or full restores it made me sick. I can't recall but two cars that were worth their Barrett Jackson price tags.

Even though I'm a tad bitter about the lack of Ford displays and the spewing ignorance, I had a great time with the guys.
