Street Machine of the Year top 5
 

How about some pics?
I hear Rad Rides Torino and Lokar camaro were picked.
Its going to be hard to beat the Torino.

That's what I was thinking. Just wondering who showed up with rides. Did BBT Fab make it with "Encore"? Did the Ring Brothers show up with anythng?

I know the boys from RS should have something there :secret:

Forgot about them, someone must have some pics somewhere.:y0!:

Nothing yet, I was looking but can't find any. I'll text Marty and see what he's got. Maybe I can get something good??

Talked to Marty he said they don't announce the Top 5 until tomorrow! I will post when he sends me a couple of pictures. :knokwood: :welcome3:

got this pic from the NSA.
Looks like its indoors next to the Lokar Camaro and other top 5.

Whose Nova is that? Details MARTY...:)

I've never been in person, but that does look like it is inside where the top 5 usually stage. Is that a Nova behind Troy's car?

We are at the show, but not shooting for SMOTY. Good luck to all!

BBT Encore is their...

Damn! That thing is bad ass! So did it make the top 5 or has the top 5 not been anounced?

Don't know .. I just saw it this morning on Facebook..

Here's what was sent to me via text message. Great cars for sure!

That's it for now. Really looking forward to seeing how everyone does.

I don't believe they are chosen till tomorrow by 2:00. Then winner is chosen later in the day. 5:30ish?

I will try to get some good pictures tomorrow, the ones I took today inside didn't come out that great.

WTF! I thought you lived in Australia mate? You get a friggin' green card or somethin'???

I hate to say it but that Torino works. The rest of them, just not on that level.

Come on Todd.

Admit it, it feels good to say it.:D

:cheers:

It's amazing who they will let into the country :poke:

You said it Todd!!

I'm sure all of those other car are quite spectacular in their own right. Having seen the Torino in person at Troy's shop, towards the end of the build.....the craftsmanship and one-off goodies are way off the charts.

The unique hardware use alone, should win an award. :trophy-1302:

Also Troy and Poteet were driving that Torino on Power Tour.

I usually don't talk like this, but...GOT DAMN!!!!!!! :flashie:

I agree, that thing is pretty nasty. Hope someone can get some good interior shots of this. Would love to see how they finished off those hand fabricated aluminum panels and headliner.

Rad Rides FB Page just announced they made Top 5. No surprise there. I don't know if I'm going this year guys. Ironically, I am literally a couple blocks away... :rolleyes:

Shame on you:twak:

I received a text from Goolsby, they're in the top 5. I also heard (unconfirmed) that BBT Fab 69 Firebird "Encore" was in there too. Hearing about one of my designs making it into the top five but 2? I'm on cloud 9 here. Congrats guys, without you guys, these are just doodles on paper.

All killer cars and absolutely amazing workmanship....but THAT Torino has it nailed. Kinda like a decade ago when Chicayne showed up.

Congrats to the Top 5. well deserved guys

Wow! The Torino paint is smokin. And the nova really sits great. I noticed that there are no west coast cars there. Is this common that nobody from the west coast made the show?

Each to his own, but that Torino! Yep :D

That Torino is really good looking, and something other than the usual cars. :)

That Torino is :bigun2:

Love the sinister presence of the BBT car.

I love them all......




Just sayin'




Each one is just bad ass to the bone.



If the Torino wins... there'll be no livin' with Rob. OMG! :twak: :rolleyes:
