When the Old Guys say to be somewhere at a certain time, you can expect a couple of them will arrive a half-hour early! Being on time means you'll surely be the last one to arrive, and even though a couple of us arrived in Ocala twenty minutes early, we were...as usual...last!

A trip to Ocala wouldn't be complete without two stops...Steak 'N Shake, and National Parts Depot. As always, we visited both, and I picked up some much-needed parts for the new '68.

Then it was off to the hotel, where we parking lot swapped out the grille on my wagon. That would be the grille that the guy driving the Hummer backed into a couple months ago. The new grille looks great, and functions perfectly.

Last year, we went to the Nowhere Pub for the Billetproof Welcome Party. We went again this year, only earlier, and were among the first few to eat the five-dollar BBQ chicken, beans...double portion, please, and cole slaw dinner.

The parking lot was full, with nearly 100 very cool cars. Consider it a smapling of the BIG show at Don Garlits Museum on Saturday.

The Old Guys met the owner of Nowhere, and he said he's planning a monthly car show at the Pub. We might have to make that a future Old Guys Weekend!

It's morning now, and we're waiting for Rat Rod Steve to arrive. There's lots of cool cars in the hotel parking lot (including ours!)...a lot more than were here last year!

If the crowd at Nowhere last night, and the parking lot this morning are any indication, we're in for a GREAT show today!

We'll let you know this evening...
