WOW!!! What a week. Finally catching up from being on the road. Des Moines was a fun show. We did auto-x the car there but ultimately decided to show the car in Builder's Choice to which we took a Builder's Choice award. I knew we had to take the car to Columbus and at least take a shot at Street Machine of the Year. So did the 100+ others tell me I really needed to get there...LOL. So back to OK to get the car ready and pack for another road trip.
The car performed well on the Auto-X as I had a few folks tell me later the announcer said I had the fastest time on course yet it needs more gear and still dialing in the shock settings, camber and ride height which I have already started to address. I was also on 300 comp tires with the AL305's and not my GX3's with the Rival's.
Competition was tough with the five finalists. The builds may not have come from the very large well known shops of the past winners but like us they brought their A game. Huge congrats to them as they all deserve the top five finalists award.
Can't say enough about Mountain Home Street Rods (Brett and team)and how they brought my vision together. Distinct Customs on the interior. DSE, Roadster Shop, Michigan Machine Worx, GSpeed, Hermance Designs, Vaporworx, InfinityBox LLC and so many others. Finally thank you to all here on lat-g.
Here are a couple screen captures from the photoshoot.
