back from car show

[jyardgirl]

well i took my and charlies car to the show. As soon as we pulled in a guy walked up to me and said that it was a 71. i smiled and said yes. he told me that he has built alot of chevys but in his opinion mine car was the best. he asked who did the work. i told him i did. he said impressive. so of course i was on cloud nine. then a guy with a gasser asked charlie about my car and he said that i really messed my mine up painting it semi gloss and was i trying for a rat rod. charlie said no that it had its spring coat on until we could get enough money for a better paint. charlie then asked him about his car and he said that he did everything except the body work. charlie then asked him about his engine. the guy did not really know. charlie told him that if he thinks that my car looks bad he should bring his car out and mine would blow his doors off. then charlie walked away. i really love my son. had one mishap. a guy with a drag car was parked next to a cherry 56 bel-air. the medvac copter landed 50 yards away from the cars. it lifted the drag car hood with the tunnel ram and slammed it into the bel-air. causing a very deep gash into the bel-air. the owner of the bel-air was actually crying. all in all a great show. got a lot of good leads on some parts and met alot of nice people. can not wait until the cruise ins in June. There were no tropheys given as it was just an exhibition. I will post pics as soon as i can figure out how to post alot at once.
