popping the cherry too soon?

was thinking about unvieling my rod at the mooneyes Xmas show. And oh yeah its not done yet. its on four wheels, but does not run...probably about 50 % done.So i dont know if i should show everyone the inbetween stages or just wait till next year(bout when its ready). So what do you guys think? should I push it off the trailer and let everyone stare at my horrible welds!!! or hide it till its done?
Oh yeah if it does go..I might call on some HAMBers to help push!!!

 

don't hide...SHOW IT OFF!


of course that all depends on what it is

 

show me what i'm flying out to see

 

I say show it as is...Im in the same situation, trying to get mine "drivable" for the Mooneyes show. You won't be alone!!

 

Show what you have. It's nice to see the final product as compared to how far it has come.

 

Show it, people love the half done piles on 4 tires as much as the the nicely painted, completed, running rods.


Besides a little constructive criticism before its finished couldnt hurt.

Sorry forgot to say its a 30 Model A coupe. Chopped 5 1/2 and channeled 6 inches over a Zed Model a frame with a Caddy 331 and T5. Motor is finished, but not running. Maybe ill bring it out...Gonna take alot of pushing

 

Just bring it,,,,make sure there's about 70 lbs of air in the tires & I'll help push

 

sounds like a cool ride I want to see but part of the fun of shows is driving there.

 

Shoot yeah, 3W larry has been pushing his around for a year.

 

yes, but now the motor makes its own noise... ya hear me Larry?

Larry?

LARRY!!!

LARRY SHUT THE MOTOR OFF AN PUSH YOUR CAR OUTSIDE SO WE KIN SEE IT!

 

Well, this thread was NOT what I thought it was gonna be about! That said, lemme be in the minority. I say hold out.

 

... ...yeah, but we got the brake system all done and we're thinkin' about firin' it up and drivin' it in a few days...

 

Well i might have larry beat! well in a few months!
