Car Show Fun

On Easter Sunday I entered my truck into the St. Louis Forest Park Easter Car Show.  Since my truck is a 1935 Ford Panel Truck it was entered into the Hot Rod Trucks 1948 and Earlier division.  I met a lot of people and had many inquire about the dulcimer.    It was a good day and got even better when I found out that my truck won Top Three in its class.  The voting is done by all who are entered.  The sun was hot and I got a sunburn.

Hi Rick
I hope this isn't a repeat since I didn't notice the security entry last time and don't think it went through. I talked with you at the Fenton cruise night and have a '28 Model A cowl for the beginnings of a woodie project. Congratulations on placing at the Easter Show! I haven't made it down there in several years due to family stuff.

Have you considered adding a web page for the truck? I think people might like to see some of build and finished pictures and hear it's story.

I told my wife about the concert and she is interested in going. With a disabled child, we don't get out to these kind of things too often anymore. We are looking forward to a fun evening away. No pressure.
I saw you on the road!

Hey Mr. Thum, I drive semi truck for a living and am also a musician. I was travelling through Pennsylvania (I'm pretty sure that's where I was, but it could've been West Virginia) oh well, I get around pretty fast. Anyway, I was driving along, thinking of the dulcimer because I've been thinking about learning to play it, and then you passed me in this truck. I'm like, wow, that's cool. Not only was your truck cool, but the fact I was thinking about dulcimers when you drove by. So, here I am on your site. I'll probably end up getting one of your dulcimers now. Good to mosey around your site. Thanks for your entertainment and excellent instrument building.
