    The Starbird show is this weekend here in Wichita and I work right across the street from Century II where it is being held. It's nice to see customs and hot rods cruising the streets, saw a red (full fendered) 1932 Ford cruise by on my way in from lunch. Good thing I don't have a window in my office because it'd be facing right at the entrance of Century II for those loading cars in. Not a dman thing would get done, not that it does much anyway. :)

    Anyone going, or even better have a car in it?

    Went last night, just took pic's of the rides that caught my eye. First one is a 57 Chevy owned by my boss (his high school car), next one is McPhail's 56 and probably my favorite car was the 54 Chevy or maybe the 54 Buick, ****er for 55 Chevy's too. Enjoy:

    How about telling your boss that need time off for personal reasons-then go over to the show take some pics and post 'em. Most of us are a lot farther away than you are.

    Good idea, my bosses boss is putting his freshly done 57 Chevy in the show, so surely they will see my reasoning for a very long lunch.
