    Don't shoot the messenger on this one .. No comment on the finalist but the Grey Ford Convert should have the field covered by a mile...

    I like the Riv, but you're probably right. Thanks for posting; the other thread had me wondering if they were still showing cars on the main floor.:D

    Nitro is on the mark. That is one fine Ford. Many mods. Not necessarily my pick, but I'm a peeon.

    Wow. Is this what the current rod scene looks like? It's all Boyds and Chips fault.

    The grey Ford looks clean, the others leave me non-plussed

    I fully agree. I don't care if folks don't like the wheels etc. That car is a knock-out.

    That Ford is definetly cool. Whats up with the engine compartment on the Vette? Is there really an engine under all that covering?

    Pretty unimpressive field this year. I agree on the gray Ford, although it did have a few fit issues compared to that brown Chevy. (Just trying to nitpick like you have to to pick a winner).
    The green truck I didn't get at all.
    Spent more time looking at the Take-Out T and the VooDoo Idol. Cool to see those in person.
    Favorite car there; that blue Deuce roadster "32 Zephyr". Haven't seen a pic posted yet.

    I like the Ford vert alot, but... if the O.C.C. fendered truck wins, I will lose all respect for this show.

    That piece is proof that style is completely disconnected from the judging process.

    Lame year for contenders. I guess that makes it a good year to compete. Kinda makes sense, two-three years ago the economy ****ed bad, and thats when these guys would have started these cars. So, the fields a little weak. Time to go downstairs to look at cars!

    X2 The '56 Ford is a stunning car and I don't give a rat's *** if it does have "big" wheels! Hands down, the Ridler winner!

    On the other hand, I have not talked to one person - not one SINGLE person that has seen the green truck that can believe it was in the Great 8. Just a friggin' ugly ugly abomination. There, I've said it and feel better now...
