I asked Troy the same question and he's going for "Custom" of the Year. at another Good Guys show.

The work Troy and his crew did on this car is nothing short of perfection. You can look at the car all day long and with the hood down, you have no idea what has been modified, not realizing everything has been modified.

Yeah, that car is a work of art.

I love this car and most others that rad rides have built. I know that there are alot of really nice cars out there, I think that this car could be one of the nicest all around cars yet. Agree or disagree? Thanks, Jon.

When the owners are spending as much as they did on the 300 and the C1RS vette it should be the top caliper cars of the show. The chassis alone on the 300 was more than most cars on this site and at the shows.

I spoke with Troy at Columbus and he said that the car didn't really fit the street machine or street rod class, GG didn't know where to put it, thus the "Custom" designation. I don't know at what event they award the "custom" of the year, but the car certainly deserves some "of the year" designation!

Troy told me when we were at his shop on Wednesday, that he wanted to keep the car in his booth for pure marketing reasons. If you enter it in the show he would have an empty booth. Awards are cool, and they get recognition, but at the end of the day does he need recognition. Last year with notorious, he had an empty booth the majority of the weekend and walked away with a finalist award.

I have entered my truck in shows and had a booth at the same show and it is a ton of work to go back and forth. I think Troy is at a level that he is getting back to the cars and not the pat on the back or the "ATA BOY" needed to reach out to more customers.
