    Thanks to all that showed up and enjoyed the beautiful weather and great setting for some of the best hot rods and customs in the state.

    The Volcanoes and Mustard Plug ROCKED!!!

    Thanks to Shaggy and the Kruzin Nutz who busted arse all day long today (and for many days before the show) to make sure that everyone had a god time and everything ran smooth.

    We had a ball and it was a great show.

    all of the award winners were deserving and the Best of Show winner was an AMAZING car.

    Dave Jenkins brought his 1957 Chevy. It is the quintessential Detroit area custom. Dave bought it new and it has never left his ownership. It has been a custom since day 1. He entered in its first show in 1958. The Alexander Bros. added their hallmark twin frenched antennas, lake pipes and a ton of other subtle custom touches. It wears Jimmy Jones skirts as it has since new. The engine compartment is completely chromed. The interior is stunningly simple and well executed, to top it all off, Dave enjoys driving this treasure as much today as the day he drove it off the showroom floor. Its period correct in every way.

    A well deserved award, a well done car. Doing it yourself (with some help from the wife ;)) and driving it hard. Thats what is all about.

    I didnt get a picture of your car at the show, but I'm sure some of the photogs there did.

  16. I will add my thanks here to Alan and Melissa and Shaggy and ALL who went the extra mile to make it a great show.And before I forget it AGAIN,THANK YOU Alan for the donation to the Autorama Charity Auction this year.

    Came in early morning to set up my tents for the pinstripers and the gentleman set up next to me came over and offered to help me with the EZ-UPs.Thank you Chuck Miller;a great and friendly guy and one hell of a craftsman!I am enjoying your book very much.

    Didn't get much of a chance to walk around and see the show but a lot of old friends stopped by to say hello.Got to say hello to Dave Jenkins at the awards ceremony(another great guy).And Frank:that 57 Buick was INCREDIBLE!!!!

    Anyway I'm off to read the Sunday paper and relax a bit.Thanks to all again and especially my customers.See you all next time.
