My first show with the cuda
« on: March 04, 2013 - 08:54:53 PM »
Went to my first this weekend in Huntington W.Va. @ the world of wheels show.Got a first place in my class , didn't really get thru in time to do any kind of display so that hurt me a lot for overall.had a really good responce from the crowd and even the promoters were coming by several times to talk about it.The best of show went to a 1949 anglia w/chromalusion paint.the owner said he paid 28000 for the paint job alone.I've got an idea for a display for next big show that should improve overall results.I'll take my srt-10 ram and cuda set them side by side on astro turf w/stripes like hiway get simulated staging tree and 2 fog machines under back wheels and make it look like their smoking tires in a drag race.here are a couple pics.

Is that Dodge Viper Snake Skin Green? I was going to paint my car that color but I thought that I was being too bold. I did not wan to be disappointed with the finished product. The color you chose is a nice combo. Great looking car. Nice Job! Congrats.
