put 2 + 2 together until I saw the name on the sheet on the windshield,
NICE RAY!

Hello Jonathan,

I was great to meet you also. As well as meeting Jim & Freddie. Again next year sounds good, but we need to fill up our own line better. Hint to all Panther owners in the Philly area;)
Wow, the had a lot of Mustangs there!
The organizers should come up with a way for participants to do some kind of racing event, such as a slalom course, or a top speed run. That would be interesting.
You did a great job explaining to the visitors about the Marauder's history.
Sorry about not getting to do the photo op with the planes. My wife & daughter were getting pretty miserable from the cooler temps. It wouldn't have been so bad if it were a little warmer & less windy.
I will post a link to an album for my pics soon.
The ride home went very well, didn't have to rush like I did getting there!

Good deal, Tom!

Read post #9 here. (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?p=542056#post54 2056) This happened on the way home from the event.

I purchased headlight assy's & turnsignal assy's from Ray. He brought the parts with him to the show. I chuckled when he said that the boxes barely fit in his trunk. The fit with a lot of room to spare in mine though! :D
Anyways, I installed them when I got home. Wow, what a difference in appearance! Too bad I didn't do this before the show. I will put up a comparison pic in my album also. Clear headlights makes the car look "new" again.

Dam, those are some great pics.
