One of the artists was taking pictures of Keith's car

Probably cause Keith's car is truly a work of art.   8)

Thanks Guys.

That's automotive artist David Snyder. He wants my engine to be #2 in a series of four FORD engines that he is going to paint in late 2019.

He said that the 427 will be first, then the 289 Hi-Po, then the Boss 302 and the Boss 429.

What an honor. Thank you David!

During the teardown of the MCACN show, the one-of-one Shelby Super Snake rumbled (LOUDLY) by with its Le Mans spec GT40 MKII 427 race engine.

I tried to follow it into a cold adjoining warehouse but couldn't keep up. When I did find it, it had been left alone, parked behind a Reliable Carriers semi, with the windows down, key in the ignition, and no one around.

There it would sit until the truck driver jumped into it to load 'er up.

Just sayin' . . . . .

Kieth you've talked about maybe getting a'67 that was your chance! 

You could have parked your '66 there taken the '67 and the driver wouldn't notice the swap - hey it was a White Shelby with stripes ;-)

Keith's car underside is much better than my cars outside
Owned since 1971, NOW DRIVEN OVER 250,000 MILES, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

Forehead slap! DUH! I was so stunned at being alone with the Super Snake I couldn't even gather myself! I just stuck my head inside the window to look at the keys in the ignition.

I am not kidding - there was NO one around in this huge warehouse at that time. And there's a Plum Crazy Hemi Cuda sitting there in the cold behind the Snake.

It looked like they might just sit there all night...

I was blessed to attend this year's offering of MCACN, and it did not disappoint!

What's really great is seeing old friends and / or making new friends.  But, nothing tops shooting pictures that later reveal people you know in the background - it's a small world.

Let's play a game of "I Spy".  Attached are two pictures I took of the Green Hornet unveiling...can you find the famous SAAC Forum Members in the background?  There are 2 in the top picture and 1 in the bottom picture.   ;D
Nothing beats a classic!

Well done! And, apologies, as I've never met you, Pete, and didn't know you were there, too!  ;D

The forum was well represented 👍🏻
