    Last week we loaded up the 32 and went to the Good Guys show in Loveland Colorado with the folks and friends. This was the first big show for my pops 28 Roadster, so right out of the box he wins a builders choice award sponsored by Pinkees Rod Shop. Out of the 10 builders choice cars I believe his was the only one that was actually built in a home garage. Heres a few pictures. IMG_1114.JPG IMG_1119.JPG IMG_1130.JPG IMG_1135.JPG

    You hit the nail on the head, it is chickle. Pops wanted to paint it black but our small town of 64,000 has three other Av8's and they are all BLACK. I suggested that he go with an earth tone and that is what he picked. Several spray outs later he didnt know if he liked it or not. One of the biggest complements last week at the show was the color. He likes it now!!!!!

    Congratulations! As has been stated very rare for a true HOME BUILT ride to win an award!
    Just proves even more the amount of hard work that went into the Hot Rod!
    Everyone involved should be VERY PROUD! Joe

    Very nice! I like the color choice and the fact that you kept the model A grill shell.
