GBOTM Jan '24 Nominations and Announcements!

[ck80]

Are we going to bump this to February? That would allow the G Body of the year to get its reign and be ahead of the month to start on track

Whelp, towards the end of last year I thought about it, and, for some of the seasonal opportunities it felt like rounding out the voting middle of the month made it hard for people to do anything seasonal.

But if voting happens a couple weeks later, we can *hopefully* see some red-white-blue themes, harvest themes, holiday themes mixed in.

Or so the story goes.

I'm trying prize packages in 2024 to see if we improve participation too.

Also open to suggestions from any and all as to how we can boost both entries and voting. There's a lot more site traffic than participation, so feel free to pm/dm/whatever you want to call it to me with ideas, always open to hearing, and, that makes sure I see it.

My resolution is to paint 3 cars this year, GNX clone, 83 H/O Warren Johnson clone and 84 Hurst Olds Warren Johnson clone.
Just installed a 7.5hp 80gal compressor and bought all the tools, drier etc.
The GNX is first, welding in suspension tonight.
Stay tuned...

My apologies... It's been a tough month, healthwise. If anything goes truly sideways the wife knows the site, and my account, so, she will let you all know and pass along the prize materials I've been accumulating for monthly winners.

For those with an interest, or, just so y'all understand where the absence came from, here's a mini-update (and a chance to not bottle this in for me to remind myself, mentally...) Although day-to-day life is a little tougher now, the doctors think the cancer is responding, and, the heart is now labelled as 'functional' despite its changes. The chemo toxicity and skin changes are also being treated, and, theres now 5 doctors on the case for this whole mess.

They say they believe we can get a handle on it all, we will see.

So my resolution? Survive 2024, and, find a way to get my first gbody back onto the road!

Our thoughts and prayers remain with you and your family. Thank you for the mini update. We hope NOT to hear from your wife.

Thank you.

Honestly the reality of all this STILL hasn't sunk in for me - I can say what's happening, but, it doesn't seem real and feels like I'm talking about someone else. Even with the appointments and how I wind up feeling day to day.

This was supposed to be a battle 30 years from now, if ever, not now.

Just goes to show, you never know what tomorrow may bring.

As mentioned above, we are all praying for your wife AND you. I have been fairly healthy, so far, but my wife is a cancer survivor, as well as having multiple serious surgeries. The things that the medical folks can do these days is truly amazing. Hang in there, better days are ahead.
