More show pics

Went to another show today up at the sports bar place here was limited to first 100 cars but due to the threat of rain there were only about 30. And the best part is i won stuff.
1. I took best in show for "late model muscle" beating out a supercharged z06, 94 vette and a supped up pt cruiser with wicked paint.

2. Best sound system and audio setup

3. Best "stock interior modifications" Which i still dont quite understand i guess it was the detail painting i did.
I was pretty happy never rained i won a couple 20$$ gift certificates to the liquor store which was kinda funny cause i'm only 17 but hey it cost 20 to get in and i won 60 in certificates so i cant complain. Couple pics no other f-bodies the pics didnt come out all that great when the sun came out it was really bright. These are teh first real pics i've taken of the paint rims and everything done. Comments are welcome especially about how to take better pics!

Nice pics and congratulations. As far as the camara help there should be setting on it to adjust for bright sun and things. If not then you may want to buy a little more expensive camara. I bought my kodak DC4800 for $400. It is a 3.2 mp and has a 2x regular zoom and a 3x digi zoom. Just keep practicing and you should get better.

Just to make it clear i didn't beat him racing but in the judging. I honestly couldnt figure that out either it was black and the motor was all chromed out but this was one of the shows where like talking to the judges when they come around helps. I talked to the judge for liek 20 minutes not knowing she was judging. I honestly thought the vette should have taken it but i heard his wife telling him later on that he should have stayed by the car. He parked it and went home to watch the race and came back about a half an hour before they judges came around and i guess he went around looking at other stuff. I honestly didnt expect the late model award but hey i'll take it.

What the **** is wrong with you? You werent there and it wasnt a trophy they handed out gift certificates. I don't care if you like my car around here or not. Who gives as **** about my reputation on a message boards. I think yuor just jealous that you dont win ****. Thats my guess cause you always seem to bring people down with ur **** talking. I came back on the boards because i wanted the people who i had talked with for years see the car complete.

Thanks squeks its steel alloy metallic.

At first I was ready to jump on you for giving him crap. I really believe that if he had a nicely detailed engine, he could beat a supercharged z06, if the guy was neglecting his car and took off like he said. Of course these are all "if"'s

Anyways, I WAS going to make a big deal, until I did a little research and saw this

So I imagine anything he says is highly suspect, and I apologize.

Btw, nice "For Sale" sign in the window, were you even in the show, or just trying to find someone to buy your car? It ought to sell quick what with that turbo 350, and custom camaro engine bay.

It's true....
Most of his posts are

What can we say, he created the reputation for himself.

you've been talking with these guys for years? you've been on the boards for less than a year, and in that time you have yet to show a single underhood shot after you did the swap. car looks good, but stay away from the BS and just show an engine shot. i guarantee it'll take less than a minute now that you have a digital camera, pop the hood, take a quick pick with the turbo in clear view, hook it up to the comp and post, boom you'll get respect thrown at you from every which way. now how much easier can it get?

Hey.......

You said you got a plaque and $300, then you go on to say you never got a trophy?? Stop cutting hairs here, get your camera and get a picture of that plaque.......

If not, then i'm sorry, but i'm calling.....

Okay guys thats enough. We all know about his reputation for coming up with a million excuses not to show his engine. Frankly, I don't know how he beat a SC Z06 Vette at a show without even opening his hood, but oh well, no sense arguing over it.
