Hopefully, see you at the next show.
Brian, "CSTYLEZ", has one awesome vette.
He not only took home the "Top Gun" award but also two others!

The pictures don't do this car justice. What's even more amazing is that this car is driven, not a garage queen.

Hi Jim -
Thanks for the pics!
I was down in Dallas at LG this past weekend.
BTW - Watching My Classic Car (with Dennis Gauge) they did a piece on the Route 66 show in Springfield - and they stood in front of your car for a brief interview, plus showed it in the video "montage".
My wife even noticed it was your car!
AND -
When I was at LG, they had framed a magazine article about your car, and had it on the wall in the waiting area!
You do get around!
best regards -

I had just got all the display parts completed the night before leaving for the show. I didn't know how it was going to look until setting it up for the first time at Chicago.
I was pleasently surprised to receive the "Outstanding Display" award in the non-electric class at the show. I've still got a lot of fine tuning to do before it's completed.
Here's another pic:

I've got a lot more work to do on the display before it's completed and was really surprised to get an award for it.
I also took home a Bow Tie Boulevard Gold award in my class.

What did you get done at LG Motorsports? I always enjoy visiting their shop, just wish it was closer for me.

Great pics of some really nice cars. Good to see a pic of your finished product. The doors really set the car off. The paint scheme on the 67 Camaro makes me want to do the same to the one my son and I have. Very nice.
