My photos, for those who couldn't make it.  All I gotta say is, damn ropes and damn people.

Great photos! I didn't make it (again). Looks like it was a good show. Nice mix of cars. Who took home the hardware?

There was no judging this year. Due to it being the 50th Anniversary, they omitted judging altogether minus Peoples Choice and display awards.

Was it the  #57 roadster with the HEMI?

  Eyeball, is your '32 coming to Prime Steel? I'm hoping so. Can't wait to see it for myself!

It was really a nice show.  Lot's of hot rods.  Sure am glad I went on Sat.  Did they let car's stay in the bldg till today?  It would have been a night mare drive for anyone going south or east on Sun.

Nice cars! The mix was very great!  Those guys from watertown know how to build cars.
 Wanted to slap the dude who built the Two-Lane Blacktop '55, however.

Glad the shop tour was on Saturday. Some people thought my roadster had a SBC in it. Grrrr.

you should modify some sbc valve covers to put on your motor.
