| Extreme Horsepower Supershow!! |
| After all the prep work, and basically a rebuild in 6 months the car was still not ready on the day of the show!! In that time it had been repainted with the flames, rust repaired, a new engine bay done, the motor rebuilt and redetailed, the interior worked over with new carpets, custom dash. On the day of extreme horsepower set up, i arrived about 4 hrs late, and we had to wash the car in the pavilion as well as do a full detail in there as well in only 12hrs!! The end result of all that work was a top wagon, top 30 elite and a 3rd small car trophy, bringing the cars total to 11 from 3 or 4 shows. The top 30 should really be a top 10, but i didnt have mirrors under it - even though it was on stands - and so, my undercarriage wasn't judged! I was not impressed, especially when a car with lower point score took my top 10 spot because of it! At the end of the day, who cares! It's time to retire the car from shows and stuff, drive it for a few months, and sell it to build a new toy Here's some photos of last yrs show. It's been a fun and expensive experience, but the most important part of it for me was the learning and the people. My old man is a legend. The man who made it all happen really. However none of it would have happened without him. The rest of the family helped heaps too! I've lost a few girlfriends over it, but i've got the best one now and she loves it as much as me! Thanx Vanessa! I've learnt heaps with this car, skills, patience, budgeting, and most of all, stress management! Life skills. Lastly, the people, the best bit. I've made so many friends in the show scene and in street car life in general. The best bunch of people you'll ever meet, they know who they are, so thanx guys! Stay tuned to the site for updates on my new beast! |
