Went to my first car show Saturday since two years of working on the car. I was literally shocked. 6 classics there (3 mopars including mine, fords, and a Nova) and the rest were just modern hot rodders. It turned out to be pretty big with the hot rodders. Over 50 cars total!
Well, took the General and a lot of folks loved it. Nobody has ever seen a General Lee in Huntsville before, and folks couldn't tell it apart from a 69. The ones that did, didn't care and still loved it! Lots of positive feedback and kids wanting to take their pictures. I helped them climb thru the windows so they could get some nice shots.
After seeing all of the cars there, including the nice classics, I knew that I had no chance of winning. Since it was my first car show, I didn't know what classes they had. When they called out "Classic Mopar", I was dissappointed that I didn't win it (although an extremely nice deserving 55' Chrysler 300 did). However, things changed when they called out their Hooter's Choice award!
I went flying so fast that if I went any faster, time would slow down. It turned out to be a great day. Got an award, 50 free wings, and lots of cheers. In fact, I believe it's the only award I got for anything.
I took the liberty of getting some shots for you to see...
