Dan caught up with this group from the National Guard that was in his area and was able to get a photo-op with them.

Here's daughter Katie helping dad out with the cleaning chores. Dan has all of his kids enlisted in his hobby.

When you have an awesome truck like Dan's, everyone wants to get in the scene! This picture was taken at the Charles City, Iowa annual “Military history days” event.

Here's Dan's setup at a Willys reunion. He's got his flat fender grille album holder and this cool M-Series bench to relax in while thumbing through all his pictures. Very cool!

OK, I knew you were asking "What's the deal with that bench?" Dan like many of us FC-O-holics wasn't finished after his M-677 restoration. Of course you have to have a comfortable place to sit and admire all your hard work. Well Dan made this one of a kind M-series bench to mock his 677’s truck bed. Fantastic job Dan!

Here's Dan's truck & trailer heading to the Joyce car show in 2008.

Here's a picture of Charlie Hutten from the TV show "Overhaulin'", Dan’s son Shaun, and Dan at a car show in Iowa. FC's have a way of attracting celebrities to them. It’s unavoidable. Here’s a quote from Dan.

"I met Charlie at a car show in Rockfalls, Iowa. I saw

him from across the road looking at all the "fancy" cars but he kept

looking my direction. He started heading my way several times but people

kept stopping him and getting autographs and talking. he finally made it

over and asked "what is this thing?" "It's the coolest thing I've ever

seen!" We talked for a long time and of course got his autograph and

pictures. really nice guy."
