Default Proud Father of Two!!! (lots of pics)

After the rains came and went several times the sun finally came out at the Vettes on the Beach Show in Pensacola. There were over 100 cars in the show. I had four customers' cars there and two of them went home winners!
Paul Hager (blue dragon) and Bobby Warner (redline) took home awards!
I can't take credit for all of their mods but I like to think the hydro-carbon had a little to do with the wins. There were three groups that drove over from Louisiana. I drove 6+ hrs to get there and several other cars from central Florida were also there.

Chris Smith (carskinz) did an awesome job on the gator/lt oak interior for the blue dragon Nice Work! It really looks like dragon skin...


I did a cowl/wiper install for James Bond right there, he drove up from the Sarasota area.

I want to extend a warm "Thank You" to the Slidell gang! (Paul Hager, Bobby Warner, Keith Triche, Chad Triche, Bobby Noonan) You guys ROCK It is a very good feeling when you finally meet the people that you deal with over the web, forum and phone. This group made me feel like I had known them forever. A special thanks to Heidi(Pauls' wife) for bringing me one of my favorite cajun snacks, freeze dried shrimp.



Enjoy some pics from the show.
BTW - the white 58 with red coves took "Best in Show"..



Would there be any interest if I made these in carbon fiber? pic below

glad you had fun... some unique stuff there that's for sure.

Nothing personal but just being honest those red things on the rear hatch window... sorry man not feeling it, they really don't integrate with the body, and look like they don't REALLY belong.

The lambo doors... ummm well they are different. Keep in mind though even lamborghini moved away from them for the most part, I have (Sadly) seen more than a few honda's with them.

Great pictures Pat, thanks for sharing!! Your talent, and award winning products is what makes dreams come true for people like us. You are a awesome vendor, and I would consider you a life long friend and brother. Here is a picture of my sponsor award from Denny's Restaurant that you helped made possible!! Thank you very much, Paul

I don't know about the red interior, on a yellow car. To each his own.
