Buttercup is a PRINCESS!!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of her!
I drove to Dodge City today, 60 miles each way. Absolutely NO problems, so we are ready for our 400 mile trip to Nebraska tomorrow. We are going to stop in Franklin, NE so that Lee's friends Glenn and Arlyn can take her for a victory lap. (They were at the build) I can't WAIT to take my dad for a ride, and show her off to all of his/Lee's friends in Aurora. Then on to Lincoln for a family portrait before Elissa moves to Louisville in a few weeks.
Just another big THANK YOU to all of you! I'll keep you posted as to how tomorrow goes. I have the front trunk FULL of tools and backup parts (an insurance policy against anything going wrong), and I have a AAA card, and friends on speed dial!

Buttercup and I made it in FINE shape!!! Approximately 325 miles, and no problems at all! We stopped along the way at Oakley for a photo op, then in Franklin, NE (where Lee lived) for Lee's friend Glenn to drive her. We drove her to the cemetery, too, but I know that Lee was smiling down on me the entire trip. Then on to Shelton, NE for Lee's friend Arlyn's turn to drive. Then I got into Aurora in time to drive dad around the town square and show her off to several of Dad's friends. A wonderful, joyful day. I am so very grateful to all of you!!!

Looks like car of the century to me - knowing what I know about this car, all the people that helped put it together and all the people that enjoy this car. This is truly a 914World car and is evidence of the strength, knowledge, passion and generosity of this group.

Buttercup is an inspiration - it shows what can be done with a "basket case" but moreover - you show what should be done with the car when it is complete.
  1. You drive your car
  2. You share you car with others
  3. You share your story with others

Thank YOU for having the determination to finish the car - not everyone would have done it and I know I am a better person for having met you, your family and your brother's car. Keep driving it and keep sending us those great pictures of your adventures!!

Cheers!

Buttercup got to give rides today to a friend's grandkids----3 five year olds! Which one gets to ride first? Ellee! Then Jordan, then Hunter. Such fun!


From the kids' mom:
Hey there Mary! Just wanted to let you know when Matt asked the kids what the funnest thing they did in GC was it was immediate reply WE SAW BUTTERCUP AND WE RODE IN IT AND THE ENGINE IS IN THE TRUNK AND WE SIGNED HER AUTOGRAPH BOOK! They have told many friends about their experience. Thank you very much for spending time with my kids and letting them ride in your awesome car. They will talk about it for some time I'm sure.

More sunshine, thanks to Buttercup!!!!!!!

The Jones Brothers- Arlyn, Alan, and Glenn- came by to see Buttercup while we are in Lincoln. They have been friends of Lee's for almost 30 years...
