Very cool pics, thanks.  My favorites were the slammed vw buses & the surf/rat rod.  Too cool!

Bart-
Thanks for sharing the pics.  Looks like ya'll had nice weather.
Something that us Americans might night understand is each of those cars had to pass a Dutch (Netherlands) inspection for road worthiness.  Here in the U.S., not every state has an annual inspection of the car. 
Here in Oklahoma, we don't have an inspection.  In the Netherlands, thier inspection is very, very strict.
My Opel Manta (insert joke here) failed the inspection because the emergency brake "clicked" seven time instead of five times going into place. 
In Europe you don't see rust buckets like here in OK.  Or cars with bald tires. 
Bottom line is that each one of these cars had to pass the country's very strict rules of safety and road worthiness. 
Bart, when you take the Cuda to inspection (the Toof (spelling?)), I'm sure that you will be a bit nervouse as to wether or not the Cuda will pass.
Help me out here and provide some of your experiences with the inspections.

Oh - Great Car Show!!!!

opel manta....  :faint:  :misbehaving:  :smilielol:    did you ever see the movie  manta,manta   :roflsmiley:
tüf  is german. In the Netherlands cars have to be inspected every year.  Cars older than 25 years every 2 years and cars before 1960 don`t have to be inspected at all. That might sound strange, but statistics have shown those old cars usually are in eccellent shape since they are owned by carnuts.  As far as the ratrod goes...I`m 100% sure it would never pass inspection since it`s got no fenders. My guess is it already had a pre 1960 dutch registration before it was customized  :dunno:  Still doesn`t make it legal to drive with no fenders though.
I think German inspection is even harder to pass since every non original part has to be approved and documented on the vehicle`s registration... ( wheels, spoilers etc... )
