Larry,
Yepper, it's stainless, and living proof that stainless does indeed stain

. Looks very aged, but should last another 20 years or so. Something about keeping things long term I guess.
John,
I can only make tentative plans until I get definite notice on whether or not Indy is a go. But we will have to make plans over a dinner or two. Convoy would be good = more cars to show at the Gala Grand Opening, impressive sight as others join in along I-20, immediate roadside assistance if needed, etc. Of course we would have to agree on how fast, how far or how long per day to travel. We still have time to work that all out.
