    Here's the guy I bought the pickup from about 20 yrs ago, he was in love with it and he took it for spin for the first time in a long time.

    Thanks guys, it was fun talking to a lot of the other car guys from all around. There was 85 total entries which was pretty good for the 2nd annual car show in a town of 600 people. I'll post a couple more pics of some cool stuff there.

    This is a actual 57 cop car, the guy lives about 5 miles from me. I remember that Hollywood used this car in some film where they needed cop cars of that vintage. I was pretty little when they used is so I don't remember the name of the movie.

    Congratulations on the trophy and yes, well deserved for the hard work you have put into it. I wouldn't call you Brother-in-laws Dodge a Rat rod as to me it suits the primed look very well and must be well constructed to survive the trip out to California and back each year with out mishap. No, to me that is one very nice rod.
