Roger/Jim, do either of you know how many folks we have registered for OCIC? I'm going on a wine run today, so I was looking for an approximate head count.

I was going to stock a few bottles in the cooler as gifts and for consumption. Should I bring glasses too? Jim, Ripple and Seven-Up? (Champipple coolers...)

Default OCIC seat presentation

Hello all,

just a head's up to remind those who are coming to the OCIC, that I will be giving a presentation on Saturday about 928 seats.

I will have on display some completed seats, both of the early style and the new. I will also have some bare frames, both sport and comfort, some leather covers, both French seam and piping, along with some other interesting tidbits.

The plan is to show those interested how these seats are put together and why they can still be considered among the best car seats you can find.

I will elaborate on different techniques with examples and will be available to answer questions.

Hope to see you there. Here are a few preview shots:






Thanks

Paul

I was hoping to have our latest harvest ready for consumption [in-laws own a vineyard locally]. Unfortunately, it won't be ready in time...

Paul, do you mind if I grovel at your feet while you present your leatherwork? Pure artistry.

I didn't get enough to get 100 people snockered, but there should be enough for quite a few folks to have a taste of Texas. Everything I have is bottled locally. Everything except the Shiraz is grown locally. The bill wasn't pretty, but what's a Sunday afternoon w/o an evil eye look from my wife anyway????


...drink up

Dyno opens at 9:00 am till 5:00 pm unless we can twist their arms to stay open longer. So far we have 15 cars to dyno, so get there early.
