Jack,

Here is a photo I took of the Stiles car at the 71 Summernationals.

That is the Dave Strickler Camaro in front.

Mr. Arnew, do you know where your T-bolt was originally sold? Was it the King Ford car out of Essex?

Thanks

good guess but it''s not the Tbolt king ford had. that car was driven by bud schellenberger.Can''t tell where it went but not mine. Bu ds was white, mine was not.When I got the car I was told that it was butch leal's, but I never tought it migtht be. It wsas a nice ride but no match for the hemi cars at that time. LOOKS LIKE TIMES ARE CHANGING THOUGH.....

Thoughts like that I will never forget and also learned from the experience.

Hi Ronn, Sure has been a long time since we were working up at Seabrook, NH.....Remember coming down to Paxton to pick up that "correct" 283 block?? Still have a framed wheels-up pic of your '66 silver-gray Nova on my office wall....Remember when we had a couple of the early LS-1 Camaros up at NED? Give me a shout at: wjsomss@aol.com Best wishes.

Jack, I was wondering if you were going to be in Ocean City for the Endless Summer Cruise in two weeks. I wanted to talk to you about a 60 Corvette Super/Stock project. I have already performed some caster enhancements, I wanted to see if I could teach an old dog new tricks. Anyway, I could always use some front end tips from the master. I should be there by Wedensday, and maybe we'll go for a ride in this, it's alot of fun and it's got a five speed stick!......Wade

Mr.Arnew, if you happen to have the VIN I can tell you where it was sold new, when it was picked up from DST and if it was built as a 4-speed or auto. I have a list of all 100 cars. By the way the Leal car was wrecked on the west coast in '66 or so. The Hill & Sanders car from Wheaton MD., driven by Matt Fenton and possibly Ivan Jordan has never been accounted for.

I'd also like to talk to you about doing the front end in my '66 Fairlane if possible. I'm not far from you. I live in Hampstead MD.

Does anyone have a photo of Mr.Arnew's T-bolt?

Wade I have been to the last 4 ocean city shows, will not be ready this time. I 'm in process of installing a blower and won't be done in time. But I will come just to see what's new and admire the vast amount of
cars that show up for the week end. I know your car well,have seen it at the inlet and Hooters. I will look you up and we will talk.
see you at the ocean.. .

Jack, It will be my pleasure to talk shop with a legend....Wade
