Hello, would just like to say "HI" and let you know that we really like your site. Our names are Joshua and Robyn Schock. We are from Ashley, ND. We were the ones that had the flat black Model A at the Toppers show. My wife and I have always been into the traditional style hot rods and are glad to see that there are more of us out there, especially in the Dakotas. Was gonna try to get a hold of the Suedes at the Toppers show and make sure we didn't piss off any of you by having the same style of display. I did talk with Tom H. and he said not to worry. I found the post about the "injectors" on here. I don't know much about them but am looking and will post a thread here when I find out more. Anyway, keep up the great work on the site and the kooool work on your hot rods. We plan on being at the Run 81 and definitely Back to the 50's. Maybe we'll see some of you there. Take care and keep the style alive!    Joshua and Robyn
...And if you call in the next 20 minutes, cause we can't do this all day...

Hey Joshua and Robyn, was talking to a co-worker that had stopped by my office. He said his niece and her husband took 1st place in their class at the Toppers show, but he didn't know what kind of car they had. So I went to the Toppers web site and showed Uncle Wes the "A" sedan. I don't know what he through, if you know him at all he is a purest, and Mopar is number one.

Welcome and I'm sure will be seeing you two this summer.

GREAT car man!  You and eyeball sure know how to build a sedan!  Post up some pics of it if you have any, I didnt have a camera with me at prime steel or toppers.  I did get to watch you drive it out of the building at prime steel though, im not the only one who loves the sound of a flatty!

Tons of nice touches on that car, I cant stress that enough.  I thought the drilled bones and frame looked great.

Anyways, great car man, you did well!  Do you have any other projects lined up?

Welcome aboard!  Yeah, I was trying to catch up with ya at the show, but everytime I'd head over to your display, I'd just see the two of you walking out the door.  Never got the timing right.  

Hopefully we'll run into you at one of the shows this summer.

Hey, me again. Thanks for the nice welcome. Just wanted to answer the few questions that some of you had. Tom, the dude you work with is my wife's uncle. Don't beleive a thing he says. And let him know there is more to life than Mopars. Don't get me wrong, I like Mopars too but.....    Sorry we didn't get a chance to talk to some of you at Toppers. Was our first show and all and we were a little nervous about the whole thing.  Was mostly worried that someone may look at the car as a peice of s&#t.  Didn't happen, at least while I was standing there.  I'll try to post some pics of the car as soon as I figure our the attachment thing. Me and computers don't always get along.  Wowcars, I think we are planning on leaving the 20th for Back to the 50's. Will keep my eyes open for you guys. Would definitely like to BS awhile. Briggs&Stratton, Thanks for the compliments. We do have a couple of other projects. '50 Stude pickup, '27 Model T Coupe and my wife's '32 Plymouth 5 win. Coupe. Plan on having at least one done for next year. Also have a old timer that works for me that is building a bare bones '29 Chevy Coupe. I think he actually might get it done for this summer. Anyway, wasted enough of your time. Thanks again and see ya down the road.  Joshua & Robyn
