Default Houston Autorama (Couple of pictures of ours)

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Spent yesterday setting up Space City Cruiser Club display and our Vette for Autorama. Here our some pix. My wife will bring her "better" camera this weekend and hopefully get better shots. Mine tends to make the Torch Red look orange.


My son hiding the undercar LED wiring:

Grandson's C5 Junior also on display:

Show runs thru Sunday at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. Judging is Friday and awards are presented on Saturday evening. Put a lot of work in to this car. Hope we do well. Either way, it will be a ton of fun.

That's a great show. I used to go, because I belonged to the Texas Triumph Register when I lived in Houston. (Go say hi to them, they're great people.)

Enjoy!!!
