^^^ Need to mount the re-mount the generator outside the car since the hatch is now (believe it or not) FULL of other stuff.

Going to enlarge the air brake surface area with a larger wing.

Need to paint car.

Need to install large (read: huge) reindeer antlers

Need to install stoplight sized red nose on car (no really, the light came from a stop light)

Drink beer

Any other stuff that seems like a good idea while drinking beer.

In this particular case, I think the Lemon is going to kick the **** out of Freebirds for sheer entertainment value!

As we settle down with our families and friends for the remaining days of 2011, Lori and I must again extend a heartfelt thank you to the RX-Club of Houston members.

Each year, you continue to amaze us with your efforts and contributions to the club’s charitable event of the year the “Ronald McDonald’s Santa Store.” No matter what you’re going through personally, each of you dig deep so our small club can provide big smiles on Christmas morning. The toys, clothes, gift cards, accessories…all mean so much to them, we’ve seen it on their faces ourselves. Last night when we dropped off “the stash” the workers and residents of Ronald McDonald House were so excited that someone thought about them in the midst of the holiday hustle. Even Mogie, the resident Labradoodle greeted us with a smile!

So thank you, to each and everyone one of you for spreading the true meaning of Christmas. Lori and I wish each of you and yours a safe, happy and love filled Holiday Season. We’ll see you next year, with some new ideas and hopefully some new locations. As always, if you have an idea for a drive, a place to meet, an event, etc…please email myself or Lori at info@houstonrx7club.com.

Peace & Good Tidings,
Keith & Lori

Had a great time and thought it was a really good meet, thanks for setting it up Keith.

I discussed giving some of my damaged parts to a middle-aged gentleman that does body work. Sorry but I can't remember your name or handle on here. Shoot me a message to coordinate when you'd like to come pick them up.
