This is great. My only suggestion is a detailed discussion with slide
show presentation on rivets. Topics: What are rivets, how to
identify 'original' versus new, suggestions for tarnishing NOS rivets
to resemble old rivets, fabricating 'original' rivets, rivets in
historical fact and fiction, new and unique uses for rivets, (ex. Can
rivets be used to attach hats to somebodys head while driving?,
Should golden rivets be given instead of dash plaques at events?, body
piercing with rivets), etc.

NEW SUNBEAM SHOW ANNOUNCED!
WHAT: RAT-FEST I
BY: R.A.T.S-Renegade Alpine & Tiger Society.
WHEN: un-known.
WHERE: using GPS, we'll find the EXACT center of the U.S., so the site
isn't biased towards any one section of the country.Hopefully,
this location will be in the middle of a pasture or field, so
everyone's car, from the $30K Concours jewel, to the
garage-done low-budget entry will all be as equally
filthy.There will be no washing facilities, so your entry can
stay dirty!
COST: $0.
FOOD/LODGING: you're on your own!
EVENTS: tired of the same old, been-there, done-that Concours,
Malibu-Grand-prix Autocross, lousy banquet food, and slide
shows just like your relatives' boring Grand Canyon Vacations?
Well, have we got surprises for you!
1) Instead of the same ol', avoid-the-cones, Grandma-speed
Autocross, we're going to have a DEMOLITION DERBY!
Yes, whoever has the strongest, meanest car at the end,
still running, wins. In fact, all cars must be trailered
home from this point, or are disqualified.
2) And, no "swap-&-shop". We'll hav a SWAP & STOMP! Yes, can't
sell that MKII grill for $1,200? No one wants your LAT #
9623, sec. B, trim-rings for $500?
Well, bring everything you can't sell, we'll put it in a
huge pile, and all stomp and destroy it until it's useless
metal, ready for the scrap yard. Then like good hedonists,
we'll pour our beer on the pile in tribute to fallen
heroes, etc.
3) No banquets, no slides, no photos, no plaques, no trophies,
nada, zip, zilch, zero. Just go home at this point, or
better yet, stay home and get ANTI-points for our
non-existent trophy.
MOTTO: In fact, R.A.T.S. has no meetings, logo, newsletter, key fobs,
jackets, patches, hats, parts, dues, etc.
WE ONLY EXIST TO ENJOY OUR CARS! Repeat after me:" We only
exist to...." >:)
