Hi Bob,

For Boyd to give you guys a heads up is saying a lot.

I remember a show he did on the top 10 custom cars of all time. I think 8 of them were his. :-)

Your car is not the type of car that generally competes. Different style of build that usually shows up there. It will be interesting to see how the builder type judges warm up to this style of build. They will surely notice the quality of the workmanship you guys have done. The factory style product you have produced will be a whole new dimension for them..different is better to me..hope they look at it that way..I think they will..people striking out on a different path makes this hobby more interesting.
Hi Bob,

We will be there as early as possible. If I could, I would be in line right now. :-)

As far as "Power Parking" goes, I would think that you are pretty much there. All you need is (Insert celebrity here: Will Smith, Pamala Anderson, Hillary Clinton, Etc...) to drive the car into the show for you.

OBTW, I heard that you turned the Cuda loose. Are you happy with the results? I know that I am with the blower upgrade. I think that, from a rolling start, we could give you a run for the money. Not that we would actually stand a chance, but we would not in-bare-ass ourselves either. In theory, we should be able to top out at about 220. BUT, there is no way in he!! that I am going to attempt it. But Sheeeiittt, getting from 40 to 120 happens as fast as you can run through the feakin gears.

i hope you get the chance to drive yours a bit. Wayne is always yellin at me cus I am out in it every chance I get.

Best regards. See you at GGC.

Hi Rick,

Just download the Power Point Presentation on the SN65 website. It is the same book we have on display with the car. It is about 100 pages and covers the entire build from start to finish. Also, it has a couple of nice video clips.

I've heard people get in line Thursday night, and sleep in their damn car to get a good spot on Friday, . I don't even remember what time we usually get there. I think around 5:30 or so, and the gates are open. We usually get a decent spot at that time. But the really good ones are already gone.

I wouldn't worry about your spot on Sat. the pro area opens around 9 or 10 anyways.

I don't think it'd hurt to bring it to the host hotel Thursday night either. As I recall, the 4 out of the 5 SMOY were their last year. Thursday night is a good time, .

It's a roped off designated area where anyone who thinks they have a chance at winning SMOY or SROY will be parked, and judged. It's a packed mad house .

Some people actually pull the same car in there two years in a row, people also put cars in there that fall into neither catagory, some people also put cars in there that wouldn't win a top 100, let alone a top 5, . Just some of the reasons why it's so packed, .

Good luck .
