    Actually Davey it's the other way round...................SEMA management won't let me on the show floor without adult supervision (somehow kenny's gotten them fooled into thinking he's an adult).

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    All those cars look great and bring back fond memories. BUT, I wish they would restore them the way they were, it's part of the Hot Rod heritage and, let's be honest, non of them looked that good when they were originally built.

    That's why I stuck that '32 5 window in there. Look closely and you might be able to tell the paint is well worn.......might be the original, or at worst a very old repaint. The interior was a worn '50s style black and white vinyl. That thing looked like it had been stashed away for the last 40-50 years and recently revitalized for the trip to Vegas.
