Although this is the last photo I took, I thought it'd make the best opening shot. It has the date and the event, what more do you need? Okay okay, it was starting to rain and a large chunk of the cars were leaving well in advanceof the six o'clock end time.

The last show at this venue I attended they charged an admission fee, this was a freebie. There were a few of vendors, but most of it was for food and drink. Like most of the shows I go to, there were a lot opf cars that were ho hum, b-o-r-i-n-g, so I didn't take shots of them. This was a basic resto, nothing fancy about it, but it was the first car once I got into the area, so I took a shot.

The military was represented.

4
Big rigs were also on display.

5
This had some wild graphics, but they looked better when the hood was down, and the view was partially obstructed.

I always liked the Chrysler Crossfire, but that was a dud in the popularity department. This was also like something you'd see in any parking lot at a movie theater, shopping mall, grocery store...you get the drift.

A vintage Tin Lizzy.
|

A custom RX7. I'm no fan of body kits. This one happened to be in nice shape, despite being red.
|
9
The "Goat" a vintage GTO. These were from the days when Pontiac was known for style and oomph under the hood.

The Tri-Power set up. Three two barrel carbs, they were fraught with problems and most guys eliminated them once aftermarket manifolds allowed them to use four barrel gas pumpers.

11
More Goats with their mouths open.

And a view from the other direction.

13
The Hooter girls made it across the street to spread the word of fried pickles in easy walking distance.
| 
14
Finally a real hot rod!
| 
15
You rarely ever see any custom Volvos.
| 
16
A closer look...

17
...and a peek under the hood.

18
As I said earlier, not a real lot of radical customs. Most were basic street machines.

Like that lead-in? This was a serious modification, but in my unwanted opinion, I think it'd be much more head-turing with some glossy paint.

Purple and green is combination that I see alot, but in my mind's eye, I don't think they compliment each other very well at all. Some nice scroll work tho...

Cut-out flames is a trend that's on the upswing. This is the third show this season where I've seen this mod on different vehicles.

I'd imagine that this must get some type of reinforcing, I'd hate to think of what regular hood gauge steel sounds like flapping in the breeze.

This guy also had a nice interior to make the ride more enjoyable. I saw this one on the way out and it was driving, NOT being trailered.

I like the way he formed the dashboard with wood. I don't like that he used a sheet of luan plywood, because the edges were in view. An A for effort but a C+ for execution.
