The SN65 arrived at 12:30 PM Chicago time (1:30 EST). The wheather is looking pretty dismal right now. Things should be clearing up by noon tomorrow.

I was wondering if the weather was bad. Is it raining there now?

Nope, beautiful today.. tons of gorgeous cars.. soon as i get my pics uploaded i will start a new thread.

Thrill of the day-- Meeting Bob Johnson and seeing the cuda in person, both sitting, runing, and driving.. and let me say.. thats the meanest sounding thing EVER. Im hoping ill get a vip invitation to his next dyno session for when he further tunes the car... love to have that on vid.

I hope the weather holds, I will be leaving early Sat morning for the long drive. :thumbsup:

Cant wait to see picks! was there any chevy 11's down there?

There have been tornado warnings and rain all over Georgia for the past two days. Where I live, west of Atlanta, it all sweeps in and heads toward Commerce and Braselton (Where YOE is at). I have an open trailer (I'm poor) and don't want to soak what I have. I am sure there are a lot of big time cars there but the weather is keeping me home. Right now its 10:00 am and raining on Saturday...weatherman sez the same for the rest of the day.

Bummer

90's and thongs everywhere her in Havasu. Jim nice Avatar, cool car. :unibrow:

Well, as weather would have it, its now 6:00 pm and very nice outdoors. Same day....go figure. :lol:

Sorry Jim, It dried up here about 10:30.
I have just gotten to the hotel. What a blast. SN65 was one of the top three for the cup, but a 67 chevelle beat him out. still cool though. I have many pictures I wlll get to you Scott, probably Monday.
Supper was unbelieveable. We went to Milton Robinson's barn to see his cars. I will let some of the others tell about it, some barn is all I will say.
Then followed Bob Johnson, in the cuda, to his house for a cookout at his place. Damn, all I can say, DAMN, Thanks so much Bob for having all us hoodlums over for supper. Over the top guys, I guess yall can tell I am pumped on adrinilen right now.
OH yeah took the goat around the track on some "pace laps", what a day.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Where have I seen that red Chevy II before? Nice interior!

So what was the final order? My favorite is the SN65 Mustang. I've never been a fan of the Chevelle. I can't stand the front or rear end treatment. The nova looks okay too. Kinda hotroddish on both of those cars though. Too smooth for the lines of the car, and I think a car needs a headrest. That and I don't like a console all the way to the back like that. Hot rod interiors are usually better suited to the older late 30's hotrods.

I wish I could have been there though. Seems like a nice show.

Some pretty paint jobs.

SN65, Billy Goat and the Bubbletop are the only ones I find interesting.

WOW there is some serious time spent polishing the stainless tubing on that TT car :hail:

So how about some highres pics? :unibrow:

Finalists were SN65 and red 67 Chevy II and the Y.O.C winner was the 67 Chevelle (silver/Black). Awesome show. :hail:

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :eek:

It did not come with headrest. The seats are stock frames with rebuilt foam.

Personaly I like the low backs in Chevy 11's but im not a big fan of the console and a few things on the chevy 11

:faint: :faint: :faint: :faint:

Man looks like a killer show! I am going to try to get down there next year
-Thanks for the pics :thumbsup:

-Paul

I shoud have given it a shot...the weather where I live was so bad...poot. :mad:

Show was awesome
 

The show was awesome and the weather was better than expected! Next year I will definately have a car and participate more than spectate!!!!. Awesome Gto Bill. I saw a few of the lat-g and pro touring shirts across the way but with 2 small kids I mostly juggled them. I didnt think the location of the pro-touring tent was so great being away from everyone else. The Red 69 at the tent was awesome and I loved the interior in it. Nicely done without the usual excessive overkill. I also was partial to the blue 69 from the DSE TENT that was a little in the style of DRIVEN! Whoevers car that was must have had a blast. I know they had to have made over 50 laps on the big track this weekend!

Brilliantly ironic turn of phrase. I don't know if it was your intent, well done just the same.
:thumbsup: :rofl:

The Blue 69 was probably Stacey's car. That's the car they are doing all the testing with.

Thats what I meant
 

I appreciate the mechanical side of building the car and using it by the standard it was built. I dont care if it cost 300,000 and has every handling technology known to man, its useless if its built put in a glass case and never moves under its own power.
To quote the old No Fear shirts, Drive it like you stole it!

I don't know who drove it harder, Stacey or Kyle. That car is so sweet, understated but all business. Everytime the track was open, it was making laps. I saw Kyle and Stacey around all weekend, but never did catch them at their tent. :lol: Way to go guys, the track time was better advertisement anyway. :thumbsup:

Thanks, the whole weekend was a blast. I can understand your point about the location of the tent if you where there with two small ones. It was a terrific place to watch the action on the track though.
Dennis Gage came by and did a segment for his next year show on the goat. He is very personable and that was a blast. Today we went over to the drag strip and the car was placed infront of the year one trailer. Two minutes after I got there Chip Foose comes up and is checking it out. One of the guys was explaining about it, and he said, Yeah, I saw this car at SEMA, nice ride. That really gave me the big head...lol
Then they introduced him to me and I got a couple pictures of him, the year one guy and myself. I will post them when we get em downloaded tommorrow.

Sounds like a blast!

thanks for the pics ,felt like i was there guys,bill i can only guess that when foose was looking at your car ,your hat started to get tight,when someone in the business gives a comment to ya ,it has to make ya fell like ,''job well done''. :yes:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
