1st car show of the season
#1
Well I went to my first car show of the season last Sunday. It was put on by a local Buick club. They have all sorts of categories. It's called the Spring Extraveganza. So I entered the car in the Mustang class . Model years 1964-1990 all Mustang and Shelby class. I had gone to this show 3 years and had never recieved any awards. So I showed up didn't wash or wax the car,heck I didn't even take the front seat covers off . I lifted the hood brought out my elite Marti report and placed where people could read it. I got there around 8:30am and I walked around with another buddy of mine for about 3 hours at a very large swap meet they also have. Hung around until about noon and decided to head out . Awards weren't until 3pm and I for sure wasn't gonna hang that long. There had to be at least 40-50 Mustangs and Shelbys there. The next day my phone rings and it's the car show people. The gal on the phone says . Would you please come and pick up your 3rd place trophy. I was like WOW! I had never expexted that one! The 71-73 Mustang usually never gets that kind of respect! So that was a neat way to start off the car season I thought. Just goes ta show ya. Never count yourself out. Thought I'd share with you guys.By the way I am almost done installing the exact seat interior the car came with off of the showroom floor. If you guys know anyone looking for a very nice set of gray and white seat covers for $150 plus shipping let me know. I will post pics in the other part of the forum when I'm done.
