Antlerfiend, in the second picture outide the liqour store your wife has that "OMG UR EMBARRESING ME"
look.
 
 On the first page I think i met the guy that owns the nicely restored Green 72 GTS at a car show a couple years back in Schaumburg? Is he member of this forum? I know he was talking about selling it and buying a wagon, i guess not?

I believe Tony is a member now. He was having a hard time getting signed up but Scott helped him out. No I don't think that was the look from my wife, she was just focused on getting some alcohol and didn't turn around for the picture. Carl on the other hand was always ready for a picture. I must say we had a great time hanging with Carl and Dee.

Fantastic set of photos.  Don't have much to add (my chip ran out of room), but wanted to get a shot of Dan's engine bay in and a shot of Tony's handmade battery.  Great work guys!

Some pictures.

First, let's cover the after hours events at "Case de Eklund":


A photo with no flash, but a little jerky (Joe, you can appreciate this effort since you are a camera guy as well)



Next some views of the crowd:


Carl in true form - looking for the next challenge:


The room was packed full of people (packed full of Torino folks - can never be a bad thing!!!). We never received a single noise complaint despite the loud spirited discussions at midnight:






Exhibit B: Carl in true form: (if you had not yet gathered, yes Carl was the life of the party)


Of course there is Alex as well:

Great times had by all!!!

Next, an alternative view of the 73 Torino "by the bank of the river" extravaganza:

First, the "goods":



Next, and example of the interest:


The "Enabler" walking away from his "masterpiece"



A couple of photos of after the show weekend. Laura and I stuck around Sunday (flew out Monday). We went to Gatlinburg after the last of the crew rolled out from Sevierville / Pigeon Forge after lunch at a place called the Apple Barrel. We took a gondola ride up the Smokey Mountains (referred to by folks from the Western half of the US as "hills"):


Great views, good times. It was a nice day.

Scott, I had a great time along with my wife. Looking forward to next year. Thanks for getting a room that was big enough for us to have a social gathering. I am not sure that I was more the life of the party as my wife was. I know at one point she had everyones attention on Friday night.
