Default Pleased with Second....

I just came in second place in my first showing. Man are car shows fun!!!!!!

The first place went to one VERY SWEET 1967 Mustang with ghost stripes. Hell, I even voted for it

I think the Zanio Z-8 helped me

Well -- maybe if they served beer!!!!!!!

The HD was the sponsor. Great gift bags too -- dash emblem, HD hat, a stainless BBQ scraper, ruler, yo-yo, plus a ton of small items...

OH! And I won a door prize. An air real for the garage.

What a great day

Ron, Congrats on your win! Your car is absolutely gorgeous and you have every reason to be pleased. C4's usually don't do well in open shows when you are competing against fully restored rare older garage queens and tricked out C5's. The fact that you took second place is a testament that your ride is truly a piece of eye candy and you obviously have the gitty-up to go with it Enjoy the rest of the weekend

Saw this at a car show in Mackinaw City, MI a couple of weeks ago. Is this the same kit as yours?

Here's the rear treatment:

I liked the front better than the rear.

The front is the same. It is the Stalker piece from ACI in Ohio. But it looks like that is all he went with from ACI. I don't care for the split window treatment....
