I don't think I've ever met him, but I talked to Vince Janis about him for a while. Seems like a pretty well liked guy.
I've probably seen a few of his cars without even knowing it. I'll have to try to make that event next year if they do it again.
As a side note I've seen your car quite a few times, I'm normally with the guy that has the 4 door Regal with curb feelers.
