Shelley award
Well a few hours ago the most beautiful 46 Ford 4dr sedan drove into my drive way and out stepped John and Bill.
My Shelley award had finnaly arrived, along with the other half of my tubing wrench. It's the most beautiful thing I ever saw, I have no idea what I ever did to deserve such an honor . Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Ol' Ron |

Re: Shelley award
The remark about the tubing wrench cane, when Rumble seat stopped in last year we had to fix his hydrolic brakes and when we tightened the fitting we couldn't get the wrench off, so we cut it in half with a torch. I hope Bill or John post a picture of it.

Re: Shelley award
For the life of me I cannot remember just where that wrench was left, but I know that I had worked on the car just before I made a 6000 mile trip to the Western National in Cour D'Alene, Idaho and back, and was back under the car checking something out after I got home and darned if there wasn't a box end wrench still hanging on a bolt under the car. How it stayed there remains a mystery.

Re: Shelley award
Glad Bill and John got the award to you; we were hoping to see you down here in Florida last year, so the "Miss Shelly" Award could have been presented at that time. We're planning on having another "Barner's Bash" in Florida in 2012, sometime in February or March, I’ll post more about it as we get things together. Hope to see you then. Vic
