His latest project, which will be in my booth for it's unveiling, is just plane wild. For all who don't know who Randy is, look up his name on the internet and click on pictures. He blows his own glass too, that beautiful black roadster enjoys a glass grille, the portholes on the decoliner get gradually smaller in size as they go back an also pick up a decreasing line as they stick out. The deco liner is cool, especially driving it around the big redwoods from the flying bridge, you can't believe how high you are. A little unknown fact, Randy started his artistic career with glass, his paper weights commanded prices in the 12 to 25k range and usually took 25 to 40 days to make.

I'm rambling on, getting back to your post, if you can make it to SEMA, stop by, email if you have trouble getting in, I might have an extra pass.

What a generous offer, thank you so much Dave. I wish there was some way I could take advantage of it, but there is just no way I can do it this year.
Forum member "Andrew" usually makes it out there every year, so keep an eye out for him. His Avatar is "Mr Clean" (he's a detail artist) and real estate mogul who always had the cleanest white Crossfire on the forum, and a heck of a great guy.
There are several forum members here who live in Vegas, so I'm sure you are going to meet some fellow Crossfire owners. Mike, "MoparrBust" owns one of the best looking (and fastest) SRT6's around, and he may show up too.
Enjoy the show, and good luck drummin up business.
By the way, my Wife, Daughter and I were out your way a couple of years ago, and we loved the Red Wood forest. My Wife and I drove our Z car up US 1 from LA all the way up to Seattle over 30 years ago, then we travelled thru Yellowstone. What a beautiful part of the state to live.
