Thanks, Brian

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
Ok Charlie. The Big Brown Truck will be seeing you tomorrow or the next day. :)
I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I am going to suggest that is painted like the later version of the car. That's how I remember it. Or maybe, half/half. Whatever works for your son. I'm sure it will turn out great and hopefully put a big smile on Lloyd's face he won't be able to wipe off for days.

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
this is gonna be cool! just throwing this out there though.. my vote would be for the ford-itude paint scheme.. i think that give it more character & also Lloyd;s deceased brother help them come up with that name for the car.. either way its gonna be awesome!

& i may have a computer going today with my scanner going so get ready for some more pics!

copperhead 06-30-2009 10:17 AM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
I didn't know about Lloyd's brother helping them. That's why I mentioned the half/half deal. Celebrate the history of the car. Although it really doesn't matter to me. This is about Lloyd, not about me. Charlie, let's hear some imput from your boy. After all, he is going to be the one in charge of the paint.

Thanks, Brian

I'll talk to him. I like the Bray & Gillam. I think that represents the Team that it always has been.

Great history on a great car with great owners.
Thanx' for sharing these photos.

Charlie Ford 07-02-2009 06:28 PM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
Car arrived today. It'll take a little while to get the proper paint scheme, but a decision between "Ford-ittude" or "Bray & Gillam" needs to be made. Maybe a poll. That would be fun!!

Red LeBlanc 07-05-2009 10:17 AM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
Yep Know these guys .. Allways thought they were Doctors LOL LOL . Enjoying the pictures guys .I am sure Lloyd is too. Lloyd & DG God Bless You and America .. Red Le Blanc. Viet Nam Viet 67- 68..

copperhead 07-06-2009 06:14 AM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
Charlie, let's just do it as "Bray & Gillam".

Daniel Ashlock 07-16-2009 03:55 PM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?

Looks great Charley. I hope Lloyd is able to enjoy this thread and this model. Lloyd and D.G. were and are among the greatest racers I"ve had the priviledge to know.

Outstanding!! Give you boy a big thank you for me Charlie.

Charlie Ford 07-23-2009 07:30 AM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
What do I need to do with it now? Maybe ship it to Danny? How about an internet card everybody could sign and print to go with it??

copperhead 07-23-2009 07:42 AM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
Charlie, send it back to me. I'll take it down to Bartlesville. I'd like to meet D.G. and Danny. The internet card sounds like a great idea.

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
To the Kelly Aerospace address on the box?

copperhead 07-23-2009 07:52 AM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
That's fine. I sent you an email Charlie.

copperhead 07-31-2009 07:10 AM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
Daniel, are you out there? I'll be getting the car back from Charlie soon and would like to make plans to come to Bartlesville. Let me know when would be a good time to come down.

Brian

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
I went to Talahina,Ok . July 18 and saw Lloyd. He seems to know about this thread but could'nt understand why anyone would want to know about him! I tried to explain that he was a living legend. Coming from me he thought that might be a little bias. He said I was different than most. I told him i could'nt argue because anyone who knows me knows I am. He was really glad anyone would even remember him. If anyone had sent him a card or a letter he just got his glasses back from repair and had'nt read anything. I had given him all of my old national dragsters and they werer'nt around that i could see. I am very glad people are so interesed in Lloyd and D.G. they are such unique people. Thanks, Big Ed

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
Charlie, got the car back today. It looks great. It appears to have taken a little beating in transit as the grille has fallen out. I can fix that.:)

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
Daniel, I know this is kind of short notice, but I was thinking about coming down Friday.

copperhead 08-05-2009 10:51 AM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
Talked to D.G. a little while ago, he said he had a drs. appt Friday @ 10:30 so I figure I'll be down there about noon.

Daniel Ashlock 08-08-2009 09:54 PM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?

copperhead 08-10-2009 06:30 AM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
Thanks Daniel. It was a pleasure meeting you and D.G. as well. I hope Lloyd enjoys the car. Maybe all the good memories of times past will brighten his future days.

Keep in touch.

Brian

Daniel Ashlock 09-01-2009 08:08 PM

Re: Anybody have any history on these guys?
 
Dg and i took the car to Lloyd this sunday.. he did like it and thought it was incredible even got a little emotional over it, but unfortunately he was extremely tired and kinda out of it.. so we didn't have the best visit... he was also not in his regular room due to his call button being broken( probably from overuse.. if you know lloyd you know what i'm taking about) so because of those two factors we decided not to leave the car there but will be taking it back to him soon when he is back in his regular room and in better shape.. and i'll get a few more pics up this week PROMISE!!
