In my category of course but with all the great looking cars I was surprised to be noticed at all! So the 1600 mile round trip was worth it! LOL...I visited family & friends too & had a great time. Saw some fantastic new cars like all the colors of the Boss 302, a brand new Cobrajet!!! I really liked the Shelby GT350 in person...I could really enjoy that one!

Here is a pic of my car done by a friend that I like...car show pics to follow as I get them uploaded!

Chrome Kenne belle and multiple goodies. And troys bagged s197 with a gt500 motor swap took first in his class to along with chris vortech powered bullit. Pretty sure they all came home with a trophy

Thanks guys, I have the Eibach Prokit Plus suspension shocks & struts included...will be switching to Koni Yellow adjustables soon...I like the Eibach Prokit a lot myself...not too low about 1.5" drop all around...came out ok, handles nice, a bit rough on sharp bumps but it is lowered! lol...

I have heard those can be rough for DD but it does look good. I want a combination personally so be sure to let us know how the new ones go.

I know the Boss 302's only look good in Red, Orange & Yellow...the rest seem garish & like a kid outlined them wherever he could in bright colors just for contrast....the black fails the most IMO.

Here is a pic of George Follmer signing my car! He was Parnelli Jones' Teamate in the 60's-70's Trans Am Series went on into Nascar & Indy Cars ...pretty neat that I got to meet him! He also gave me a signed Hot Wheels model of his 70 Boss 302

Thanks guys, I am finding that the Blue & White combo appeals to a lot of folks including me. LOL...I originally wanted a red convertible New Edge & was kinda reluctant to take this one but now wouldn't trade!

Wow that would have been neat to meet up!!! I was in the Roush class with a lot of newer ones even though I listed it as a CLONE/Tribute....
Congrats on your trophy placement!!! That is a pretty prestigious show. I learned of my award while on the road back to Oregon...a good friend collected it & shipped it to me. Just blown away that anyone selected me in the company that I was put in, I just went to have fun with a good buddy.

Never thought I'd see this thread again! LOL....where are you going this year? Come to Grants Pass June 7th...we are putting on a car show there...all cars welcome.

Grants pass is a 16hr trip one way lol. If I wasn't busy with work I'd try! But I gotta make money for my last year if school!I thought the Spokane show was pretty nice, glad we went. It'll be in my neck of woods in 2016. Can't wait! The more I think about it the more I think I remember your car at the show.I think the show is in Van this year, do you know where the show is in US for 2015? Maybe its somewhere in the middle like Montana?
