"VooDoo Child" Runs Away with it!

VooDoo Child exceeded Roadstar wildest expectations! He ran away with four awards. Of course Rudy built VooDoo Child as a driver and offical trophies don't really mean much, but to be recognized by your peers for a year and a half of hard work is a great feeling.

VooDoo Child took first place in his class. He also took the 2004 Tom Sullivan Memorial award, which expresses the true meaning of the sport and hobby, friendship, family and fun with cars. He took the 2004 Street Achievement for Best Street, and Outstanding Individual Display 10X20.

VooDoo Child was well received by not only the judges, but the general public as well. I sure wish Rudy had a dollar for every photo that was taken of VooDoo Child. He worked long and hard and deserved every award he receieved along with all the kudos from his friends, which of course means the most to him.

Way to go hun! I'm proud of ya!

 

too cool!

nice looking practical car. looks likke it's meant to get driven.

Hey CON-GRATS Rudy...the car is deserving of the "kudo's"... Stitch

 

HELL YEAH!!! Congrats Rudy! My Dad and my friends agreed that your car was one of the coolest, cuz it was a REAL CAR, not a full sized Model car. You deserved every one of those awards, and probably a few more!!! Way to go!

 

Congradulations!

Billy

 

Congratulations Rudy! Beautiful car! Great meeting you this weekend too!

 

congrats rudy .....hello denise quickrod

 

WAY TO GO RUDY!!!! That truely was one of the outstanding cars at this years Autorama. Just goes to show that a lot of hard work and less than $500,000 will still turn out a great car. The reason I mention the money is IMHO this car is head and shoulders above of the reported $800,000 Willys that most people just gave a big yawn (a nice chassis and little else). If Rudy had started with $800,000 he would still have 3/4 of a million left and a cooler car.
Of course I think you know what just happened to the price of that '32 roadster Rudy. hehe!!!
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!

This car stood tall even with Ridler contenders right across the aisle. Way kool Rudy, congrats

 

I wanted to add some more photos but StarPhoto is giving me fits. I'll add a couple more here then try again in the morning.

......looks sweet to me!!

 

Good goin Rudy. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

 

Great looking car, Rudy. Love the color combo of black, copper and white, nice, subtle, classy!
Didn't get to say "hi" to you or any of the other HAMBers, though (except Ray Safarinut!) Between staring in awe at most of the cars, and having some friends with me, who had to drag me to the Casinos, and the nude bars in Canada, I didn't make any of the meetings. Walked by Rudy's and Starliners afew times, but didn't see anyone who looked like a HAMBer, could be wrong, though.
Anyway, great show, great cars. Congrats, Rudy!

 

Congrats Rudy, it is killer!

The smile on your face, said it all this weekend, the awards are just a plus.

 

way to go bro. No you gotta make a shelf for those trophies. hahaha the work never ends

 

WAY TO GO RUDY!!!!!!! It couldn't of happened to a better or more well deserving guy

 

Congrats !!!!! I love that car. Can Mike and I take this one for a ride too,

 

That is one NICE Ford!

Jim

 

Congratulations. It's nice to know others enjoy your vision.

 

Whaddaya know? There IS some justice in the world...when a hard-working, down-to-Earth guy like Rudy can take FOUR awards with a clean & classy ride like Vood-Doo Child!!



Roadstar's 40 was easily one of the nicest honest-to-goodness STREET DRIVEN cars at the show. We all know Rudy is no lawn chair fairgrounds poser...he'll be hitting the streets of Motown this Spring and Summer racking up the miles & smiles in his BAD ASS 40!

Congratulations, Buddy...on a VERY well deserved day in the spotlight!!!

 

Congrat's and best wishes Rudy.....beautiful ride...look forward to seeing your beast in action on the street this summer!

 

Congratulations Rudy!!! Very Sweet ride!!

 

Congratulations
Can't wait to see the car in person some time.

WAY TO GO RUDY!!!! i seriously thought it was one of the best cars there but i am surprised that the judges agreed. i thought they would be all about the high dollar plastic cars. good to know they do have some good taste.

thats just too cool my friend. CONGRATS!!!

Mike

 

Congratulations! Now get out there and drive the wheels off that thing!

 

Great looking car Rudy. Good to see a fellow hamber get some recognition for their hard work. I hope you drive it to GoodGuys Indy so I can check it out in person. Congrats man!!!

 

Thanks to all of you, belive me I am still in shock .

The attention this car got was overwhelming. This has never happened to me and I really don't know quite what to say.

Yes it will be driven, and driven hard like all the others.
In fact actually felt good the scrape the lower grill loading inthe trailer for the LAST!! time.

I wish I knew what else to say .

Thanks again, and I have some HAMB guys to thank too.

Dan Barnett truly one of the coolest guys I have ever met. He did the sighn. In a sea of viynal lettering his hand lettered effort stood tall. I will never be able to thatnk him enough for his generosity. DBF

And the striping GOD the brought the artwork alive on the deck lid and under the hood ,Jeff Shea .

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

And lastly Thanks to The Hotrodladycrusr for orginizing the HAMB gatherings each and everyday and being there to support me. She is truly a HARD CORE HOTROD CHICK
