    Well my dad and I decided that we did not want to miss BTTFs this year so the two of us along with another friend went up and back on friday. It is five hours up and five hours back with about nine hours of walkin. What can I say, it is a damn good show and hate to miss goin. So here are a few pics from saturday. The first batch or two are my favorites from friday. :D

    Well the other guys knew where I would be if they lost track of me, they would just look for a 35-36 Ford close by somewhere. I just got a 36 Tudor last week so if you see a lot of them that is why. LOL Also there always seem to be a lot of converts up there. So I tend to take a lot of picks of those too. Someday.... right HRLC? :);)

    Very cool pictures. I went there on yesterday with my Dad and brother and two guys that my dad invited so it is hard to get to everything, but had a good time as usual. Spent about 10 hrs without taking any pictures. I am usually to busy looking at the cars and studying them to take the pictures. The best is to get off the beaten path, you usually find some really neat cars in those corners.

  17. The 40's white desoto coupe has a 392 hemi in it. They are from Kelowna, British Columbia. They stopped here in MooseJaw for a visit last Monday on their way to Back to the 50's along with their friends in the 54 glasstop and the 56 Ford 2-door wagon and another buddy in a 63 Wildcat.

    Great show, thanks for posting my roadster. I look frumpy, though the top of my windshield obscures my face. Good thing.

    Those are some great pics, I think Titus's roadster was a hit with everyone I talked to. Great show this year, had alot of fun and it was good to meet a few of you at the meet and greet!

    Yea you are correct. Titus's car was very nice. He did a great job putting that one together. I really wanted to talk to him but when I found it he was out walking around with his dad. It was one of my favorites this weekend.

    That light mint green 41 Desoto was my favorite car of the show! How often do you see one of those. Talked to the owner a little while -- very nice guy -- gave me a few pointers and timesavers for my car.
