My car was close to the Finkosel & EVERYBODY fropm the kids to the old farts loved that thing!
Those guys damn well deserved the Pro-Pick for "Best Display" that they got.

 

Way cool. Thanks for the updates Dana. That was just before Dave Shuten laid
a few lines on her. Thanks Dave. That thing had me smiling all weekend. Between that and the Atomic Punk, I would have been fine if I had never ventured upstairs. Then I ran across the Ice Truck and Swindler II...WOW.
Did anyone get a pic of Moriarty, Shuten and Fritz all standing by the Finkosel at the same time? I'm not usually one for hero worship, but talk about a brain trust. I was expecting those guys to start talking quantum physics or something. Lots of talent right there.

Doc.

 

That`s gonna look cool siting next to the atomic punk in you living room doc .

 

Congratulations guys!!! Well deserved award!!!
That thing is way cool you guys deserve recognition for your vision and talent.
I enjoyed meeting you all and helping unpack crates during setup.

Rudy did a great job of organizing the floor plan.

Coming down the escalator your eye caught the Finkosel and then first thing right inside the doors, the Atomic Punk, right on to the Caddy and the So What cars. With those displays to begin with, I was caught up searching the rest of the area for more treasures, which were many.

 

good to see some montana boys do well !!!!

 

The Finkosel was so kool......thanks Chas for building such a cool work of moving art.

 

That is downright COOLSVILLE!! The bumper car knocked me out b-4, but the Big Daddy-Go-Round is out of site!! Great work, thanks for posting the x-llnt video!! WOW!!-Sololobo

 

I still hate you Doc !

 

Dammit, I wanted a ride on it....I would have stained it tho....

 

You should have taken a spin. I stopped it for a while Saturday morning and let some kids take pics on it. They had a blast. You have to jump through some hoops to actually let them ride.....inspections,permits,insurance, etc. I want a ride in The Reaper too.

Larry, where's the love man? The Berry Wagon rocked and I'm glad I got to see it.

Doc.

 

I couldnt figure out what people on here were talking about when they mentioned "Finkosel" untill I saw it,waaayyy cool! What alot of awesome work!Congrats!

 

Congratulations, very cool setup.

 

It was really cool. I'm sorry I missed meeting you Doc.

Actually my wetness wiped off pretty easily.

I got "lucky" and got the opportunity to sit on all the characters. Details with photos coming soon.

CONGRATS to the whole Strange Days crew for the award. EXTREMELY well deserved.

 

The Finkosel was very, very kool! I really enjoyed checking out all that creativity and hardwork...

I had a great time up there meeting the Montana gang. The Fink-o-sel was unbelieveable!

Everybody thought it was fibergl***, just like the Punk. Ha Ha Ha

Doc, sorry you couldn't stay all weekend. It is probably for the best though, I wasn't behaving very well. ha ha ha

 

For ME, the coolest thing about the Finkosel project has been the fact that the progress has been so graciously shared with us. I have enjoyed watching with amazement, the progress over the past few years. To see it completed is awesome. I didn't make it to Detroit, but I thank you for posting the video. Well done guys........

 

It has a p***enger seat! Maybe at the Jalopy Showdown Drags....Don

 

Here is a pic of the trophy we got and a still shot of the setup

 

Very well deserved!
I usually try to think of the car I'd like most to take home at a show like this.
This year it WASN'T a car.......

 

congrats!! the finkosel is *****in-nice work!!

 

Been watching the progress of this since I joined… Came out Great! Congratz!

 

Just got home. We left last Monday at noon with the Finkosel and pulled into Autorama on Thursday afternoon. 2000 miles and snow all the freakin way! But I gotta tell you. we couldnt have been treated nicer . Everyone from the show staff to the spectators made us feel like it was worth every minute of our time. If we hadnt built this machine we'd probably never get to see an Autorama,,, WHAT A SHOW for a bunch of maladjusted Montanans to see! . I really appreciated meeting each and every one of the Hamb gang. Denise , it goes without saying that your hospitality made us feel right at home. Thank you all. We wont ever forget the grand time we had!

 

I thought that should have been upstairs as one of the Great 8 cars! has a motor....tires...and you can ride it! Atomic punk and Rebel Reaper should be too


Great Job!!!!! You know Big Daddy has a big grin right now!!!!

 

Pictures of Aaron G's Atomic Punk WAS on www.Jalopnik.com earlier today, but they currently have Vampyre on there. Anyway congrats to Aaron for what Johnny Cash would call "a fine looking moo-sheen". Nice work man.

EDIT: evidently I AM retarded cuz here it is....
