Re: Alvin's on Petrolicious!
Thanks all!
If there is one thing I am proud of: They actually included my recommendation of this amazing website, 311s.org! There are lots of roadsters in publications out there but I have not seen a single one mention 311s.org and the community. Hopefully Steve doesn't get too much traffic
These are other things I never thought Petrolicious would include:
-pictures of my favorite memories (to me was a longshot) and the wedding photo made me a little emotional
-@Michael...I believe in giving credit where it is due, you were/continue to be a great resource!
-my plug for the Solvang Show!
This is my favorite photo from the photographer, Courtney Cutchen:

Re: Alvin's on Petrolicious!
Alvin. I think you have set the bar extremely high. I wish I had the patience and resources to get my car to the same level as yours. It is the brass ring most of us would like to obtain. You are a great ambassador for our cars and for 311"s.org. Thanks for all you do.

Re: Alvin's on Petrolicious!
Thanks Keith! Definitely not setting the bar. It is not even frame-off restored or in the same league as many other roadsters you see here. Essentially the same (aside from wheels) since 2003.cktrap wrote:Alvin. I think you have set the bar extremely high. I wish I had the patience and resources to get my car to the same level as yours.
