I don't see a pic of the Best of Show award so I'm guessing it was a non judged show?  |

Thanks but it didn't win anything. 1000 domestic cars and 15 imports. I wasn't expecting to win.
The car drew a crowd and I received a lot of genuine compliments from muscle car guys but only after they looked over their shoulder to make sure their buddies couldn't hear them

I hear you man. I am in Michigan...land of the Muscle Cars. I take my 62 to these shows and never expect to win anything as I am up against 6 figure Roadsters on the domestic side and insane old Jags and other odd ball imports. I will say though that the love from the muscle crowd has been overwhelming. I went to Woodward last weekend(over a million people in attendance) and was getting thumbs up and waves from guys driving all sorts of amazing cars. So many people wanted to talk to me I felt I was neglecting my wife and father.  |

I hear you. I'm in Oshawa, Ontario; the home of General Motors so I completely understand. I love all cars so I still really enjoy the show. I got a lot of thumbs up and people putting their arms up at an angle because of the negative camber in my rear wheels

SW adaptor is a nice touch. Does it work ok? I just picked one up, not sure if it's operable, but hoping to find someone to work on it if it’s not. Looks tres cool either way.

Still working on the radio so I haven't tested it yet. Getting close.

With countless hours of hard work, sweat, bank withdrawals, greased up hands and enless days and nights of planning and thinking it finally paid off. Looking so stunning! One awesome vintage speed bug! I think I missed the pictures of the engine.....

Thanks for the kind words. A lot of hard work, for sure. On to the next build. Gluten for punishment.
