Great weekend!


It's always a little hassle going ready to show off your wheels. The wiping and waxing, and sweeping. More than just cleaning the family car, because this car is special. This weekend was the 14th Annual Southwest National Good-Guys Car Show in Scottsdale. Big show. They thought there would be a little over 2000 entries, and there was...on Friday. BUT, on Saturday, there was nearly 3000 entries and even more attendees. It was jammed and a little cramped. With that many vehicles, it's hard to see them all, plus hundreds of vendors too.
Mine 36 it the dark blue one in the center of the photo, taken on Friday. On Saturday, they parked in the drive, in front of the parking spots.

Just out of the paint shop


After being in paint and body shops for several months, my 51 Chevy finally came home. It's not nearly finished, but at least I can start doing some work myself. Insulation, sound deadening, wiring, chrome, just to mention a few things. That's OK...I love to see my progress and watch it evolve into my vision. Like all of my cars, it will be subtle. It will look sort of like the original, but different.
This is also the first time I named a car a female name. It's name is "SUGAR PLUM", which I think captures the color. Don't you? Come back and see the finished product in a few months.
Tell me what you think.
