    How did your car do this season?
    « on: September 28, 2005 - 01:45:46 PM »
    Now that the car show season is coming to an end, I was wondering how everone's cars did in the shows.  I know this site has some of the most amazing e-bodies out there, so I'm looking forward to hearing all about it!

    We only went to three shows this summer...but went to lots of cruise-ins.  In the first one, we received 1st place in our class (street machines).  For the second and third one, we won Best Mopar.  It was fun, but the most fun is talking to folks.  And, since Red takes pics of almost everything....here they are in order.

    My car is not a show car, just a driver, but I did win a trophy at my local Mopar club show,  1st place stock e body.  But I was the only one in my class.  lol   That was the only show I entered.  I went to LOTS of cruise ins also, I probably avereged 1 cruise-in every other week.  I won lots of door prizes and a 50-50 drawing.  The best thing was just getting to hang around other car nuts and talk about my Cuda!

    First place in Mopar division at the last show of the season.  Completely unexpected, but, a welcome surprise.

    I didn't attend many shows this season. I was busy working on the Charger. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
    I did attend the one show that I really enjoy which is the Calgary Alberta Mopar show. They judge using a point system so everyone gets judged the same. There was some awesome cars this year and I was thinking I might get third. I took first in ebody stock. That made my whole summer because the other cars in my class were really well restored.
    Our own car show I did not enter my car, I put it on display only. I think it's better when participant judging that cars from other clubs should have the fast track.

    Challenger was put into 2 shows this year. One was our car show where it took second behind a very nice 70 Hemi challenger convert and the other was one of the top 5 mopars (400 cars of all makes)at the everything show the next day.

    Dart got first at our show, nothing at the verything show and 2nd in edmonton Mopar show and 2nd in Kalispell(but it was the nicest there)

    We thus far have attended 15 shows (counting Carlisle), sometimes just one of the cars and sometimes both, and we have won 12 awards/trophies. But the ones that mean the most are the points/judged shows. Other than Carlisle of course our best surprise was a big 4th of July show (judged with classes) and the Charger/ Challenger took 1st and 2nd in our class, but we only had to compete against maybe another 25-30 cars, in the over all show there were about 400 cars registered. And the show raised over $3000.00 for the local fire department and the guy who won the 50/50 gave back his share to the department as well, my kind of guy, remembering why we go to these fund raiser shows ! Seasons about over, we hope to possible get to a couple more - weather permitting.

    I’m jealous of most of you.  The first day I drove my car in 2005 (June 4th) my neighbor’s girlfriend drove his van into my rear quarter panel.  I was hoping to go to several car shows and cruises in it this year.  The body shop didn’t have an opening until August 1st and it is still in the shop.  I expect to get in once the rains start here in October (I live near Seattle).  On the positive side I decided to have the shop paint the whole car while it is in the shop, plus put a rally hood on the car and weld in sub frame connectors.  I bought new interior panels for the car so it will look very nice for next year.  It is a 1970 challenger convertible and the only items I really need on it will be fresh chrome trim on the car. Which I plan to do over the next few years.   The hardest part is my greatest joy is just driving the car.  I forget over the winter how much enjoyment is in just driving it and feeling the ride as you go down the road.   :)

    As soon as I get the interior in I plan to take plenty of pictures.  I'm just praying that the weather allows me to do it sooner rather than later. ;)
