    OK now that I know Tom's going to be there (barring calamity of course) I will be making the trip up with my dash inserts.

    And to help out... if anyone who can't make it wants to send me their inserts to get signed I will be more than happy to make sure they get there and back to you safely.

    As my cars are red with black I will probably have him sign them in black, but to those who have other colored cars, I imagine getting a Hertz signed in gold or someone's silver Predator signed in silver would be a nice touch. I will bring black, silver, gold and blue pens with me and if you have a color preference let me know.

    Hope I can help

    Sorry PIGBOY I had offered and no one responded... I would have gladly taken your dash insert to get signed...Tom was a great guy to talk to and we learned a ton about the cars.

    So with Tom being at the and folks getting to talk with him i have a couple ?'s. Is he still involved in the car hobby and if so he is he willing to join the site to supply info on these cars? Being that there are not alot of these cars out there would he sign dash panels if we could send them to him? Did he mention what type of production he may still have on the cars he built? Just curious

    It's funny I talked to his wife almost as much as I talked to him and I know as we drove home my mind was filled with more questions I had for him if I had only thought of them sooner. Both Tom and his wife seemed genuinely appreciative of those of us who are dedicated to saving what began as his hobby and ended up being his passion for 4 years. I'm sure he would be more than willing to help in any way he can but I'm not sure having his mailbox flooded with car parts is the best way to do it. Now that he knows we exist as a legitimate group dedicated to preserving the legacy of Predator Mustangs I can see it being possible to collect parts from those who want to have their car signed and be able to visit with him and get him to sign them all at once. He was more than gracious in signing the cars and parts at the reunion yesterday. I especially loved Dan getting his Hertz car signed with a gold pen. It looked great!

    We had good time at reunion and truly glad to meeting Mr. Solomon and his wife. He is nice guy and happy to sharing all stories and able to answer our questions. Orlando Hayward was there with his red convertible too. Im sure that people out there are curious what did we learned from Tom and Orlando. Chris and I are working on to post new thread in here what we did learned about the Predator history from Tom and Orlando. We enjoyed our weekend very much and hope we can get more Predators together again.

    My 84 H model ready for long trip.


    Here we at Texas, my predator run great and blow cold air all of time!

    Awesome pics, awesome cars, and an awesome event. I'm happy you Predator guys got the opportunity to meet your maker. I know it's special when the Saleen crowd gets to meet and greet with Steve, so I'm sure this was just as incredible for all of you...and for Tom (it had to make him feel good that his cars are still loved and appreciated).
    Cheers!

    Looks like the next predator show will be pretty nice as there a lot of neat preds showing up since last show. The white and gray with blue is a really neat combo with mid level graphics. Someone who should post that car here for all to see.
