    Me too! We managed a quick walk about before the doors closed.

    I want to "doff my chapeau" to the talented folks that have dragged cars from all around the country for this show. The rods just keep getting better & better!


    Seeya there!

    This was awesome, thanks for posting! I have not been to this show since I left MI in '93. A special trip will be required next year. Thanks for reminding me what I was missing.

    Checkout The convertible on the Street Rodder web site...

    http://www.streetrodderweb.com/events/1102sr_59_detroit_autorama/index.html

    Steve Cook is one of the best, it would be kool to see and Okie win the Ridler.

    Happy Trails, Mick

    Thanks for the pics, Aaron. Not sure when/if I'll make another Autorama, since it's probably always going to fall on the weekend nearest my younger daughter's birthday.

    Aaron, thanks for the posts. Almost glad we didn't get Court's truck in there so Brian had a place to crash. I may be there tomorrow, if not, Sunday will be the day. Hope to see you all and congrats on the scribblin by Winfield!

    Fantastic effort. Thanks for letting us tag along. I put my rod in the Kansas City World of Wheels (Ol Skool section) and had a blast. Thanks again!!!
