Well if you did not go to Denison, Tx this weekend yall missed an awesome show. I believe there were almost 60 cars that showed up for the benefit. Jamie said they raised around 1800.00 bucks for the family so that was great. We headed out early Saturday morning averaging I believe around 90m.p.h First time to drive the Coupe that far but it did just fine and got there about 9:40 a.m and the place was packed already. we had to create a new row in the middle of the aisle. Really impressed with the hole show raffle prizes which included lots of pinstriping art, 94 carbs, metalflake steering wheel, lots of art, shirts, toys etc. I just can't say enough about it. To follow up after the Pistons and Paint is hard to do and it was better by far so If you missed it you missed a kick ass show. The awards were awesome and My little coupe even won one. The burnout king from Ft. Worth even showed up. Here is a few pics of the cars I liked hope yall like them too. Thanks Jamie (Daddyo54) for a great show.
Jamie and the Kustom Kings YOU RULE.!!!!!!!! As Dirty31 says That show ruled !!! Perfect setting great place for a show and all us topless nutz had a blast. None of my picts came out. I will take a picture of my award today . Thanks again for a great time !!!!
I didn't see Elrusto's p/u in the pics but pretty sure that was his shop-mates convert in the third pic. Did he make it out? I'd like to see some pics of that deuce roadster out and about too.
[ QUOTE ] No he didn't make . he is trying to get it ready for good guys next week end !!! [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, that's why I didn't make it, either. I really wanted to go, but I haven't quite mastered that two-places-at-one-time thing yet. Thanks for the pictures, tho. Good stuff! I really dig that orange(ish) 58 Chevy!
This one was a little odd. Stude nose on an '80s El Camino. Only in Texas. Does anyone know the guy that was shooting video? He was taunting my dog to get him to do stuff for the camera, figure I'll buy the video for posterity if I get a chance.

I didn't expect such a turn out but what we had was great and we raised alot of money !I want to thank all the hammbers that came out (even the lurkers)I was running my ass off and didn't really get to talk to you guys very much.I also carried 3 cameras with me and didn't take a single shot but a local photographer friend got a bunch so I'll try to post them.Thanks again to everyone that came out and special thanks to Jester and Whodaky for sending some killer art and the Chups, THEM! and Straykatkustom(mickey) for thier donations.
Gotgas it was nice to meet you sorry I couldn't talk more.I think I was making my first round of the day looking for award winners when I met you.It was real cool of you to drive that far just to hang out for a little while.

[/ QUOTE ] These are a kit, I shot this one at a Canton swap meet and there was actually another unfinished one tooling around. The only thing Stude is the bullit. I think I could find a better use for my time but to each his own.
The guy that was driving that elcamino is a local guy but he's a real prick.He is a 500lb. asshole that talks down to women real bad. When he came up to the reg. booth he asked my wife how much reg. was when she said it was by donation he flipped a quater down on the table and stil here you go thats all I can afford.Eventhough he was at the local cafe eating breakfast that morning.He doesn't work and lives off of his "redneck lottery" disability check just because he's to fucking fat!.Well my wife and the other lady doing reg. didn't put up with this shit so he got pissed and said fine I just won't reg. and I'll my car parked right here. He parked that piece of shit right on the front row and sat his fat ass in the back acting pissed off all day.It's a good thing for him that I didn't find about it till later or I would have made his fat ass leave.He was the only asshole everyone else was generous and very cool.Some people didn't understand the tropies we were giving because we weren't having normal classes but thats understandable in a local open show.

[/ QUOTE ]It was good to meet you too. I've never minded doing a little driving, I drove 1500 miles fom LA to DFW in June without stopping.. 22hrs straight. Also, I've got quite a few pictures that are scans of the pics I took with my disposable camera. If anyone wants some, I'll email em to ya.
