Jim Darby's 40 display

 

It's 6 am and the Free breakfast isn't open yet so I will post some more pictures.

 

very nice ride....glad to see y made it to the show.


i will be stoppin by to check out the ride on friday

 

Well it's 3:30 on Sunday and it's been a long week. A few Hambers have stopped buy to say hi but we are ready to get out of town. I guess the awards start around 6 and everybody says that this place will be empty by midnight. It's hard to think that will happen but we just have to go to toledo tonight so we can drop of the display for the car.Everything worked out great and Jim's 40 was a big hit.The only big suprize now is what car will win. My vote is for Allen Johnson's B400. I probably won't post the winner to night but I'm sure it will be plastered all over. I'll try to check in on our trip home.

 

Good luck and have a safe trip back here to CT.

 

that blue and white shoebox is really really eye catching...what a original paint scheme..

Hey Bob, can you post a pic of the sign for Jim's car??

The 40 looks great and I love the display.

 

Well we have been home for a week now and I'm finally recovered from the trip. We all had a great time. You can't belive how fast 800 displays and cars can get out of Cobo hall. We got on the road about 11:00 pm and got home monday about 10m. Here's a few tear down pictures. Jim's 40 wenr over big with the people attending the show and won 1st. place in its cl***.

 

congrats on 1st. place!!
great car.

 

The 40 is great. Congrats on the 1st place also. I have a few of your parts on my 40.

 

Well done. Must feel good to know that all the hard work you put into the coupe didn't go unnoticed by the m***es.

 

Hey, we p***ed you driving into detroit, BUT we were driving our cars in from kansas. what a great road trip. heres what we were in............

 

that caddy was one of my favorite cars there! that and the yellow 60.

 

Congrats to you and Jim on the cl*** win. That car is seriously bad***. Thanks for the pics, that showbiz stuff looks like alot of work.
