Good Guys Columbus

Had to be a different car. I'm there now, and took a second look: the DSE Camaro has pretty nice panel fit and gaps. Actually, it's a testament to the chassis because the rear (door) gaps are just about show car tight, and there is no post-track-abuse chipping.

The 54 really should have at least been in that row (SMOY 5) today. If it wasn't here, Thrillbilly...

As for the Rad Rides 87, you have to see it to really appreciate it. In the words of a very experienced car guy (paraphrased), "it's right on the edge, but so far-so good." The only thing that bothers me about it (like I really matter) is the glass to metal ratio. If I were the owner I would go all the way for custom glass and tell Troy to start cutting on that roof. . If he goes with his usual subdued finishing style, to balance the radical metal work, that could be a badass hot rod. A dark color would blend it all in, and let you see something new every time you look. Then, you start to realize why it's so sweet.

Some very nice looking cars there!!! VERY NICE!! It would be hard for me to pick a winner, that's for sure.
Thanks for posting the pics!!

Maybe its just me, and I have only seen the thing in pictures, but the '54 Vette does absolutely nothing for me. It appears to have no presence. Like I said, I have only seen it in pictures and have not seen it in person. That thought might change if I was standing in front of it, but it doesn't look like it has any attitude. I think it might have something to do with it not having any trim that shines. Just my opinion...and thats all it is.

I'm exhausted. I walk back and forth from the manufacturer's area to the awards & swap meet area the whole weekend. Last year I did it for three days; only two this year, but I traveled back and forth a lot more. I look at the cars, go back and look at stuff and compare with vendor items and cars. etc. Then I walk all the way back to my car each day for lunch - usually need some peace and quiet (relatively) to relax and let all my mental notes sink in...

More from yesterday's pics, I haven't started resizing today's yet.

Look like you had great weather, next year I hope to stay until Sunday. That copper and champayne rod is incredible.
