2008 Eyes On Design pics....

[trapin]

Some pics from the Eyes On Design show Yesterday. I want to thank Bill and Melinda Howell for the tickets that my Dad and I used; it was very generous of them. Some familiar cars there; Billy Goat, Mule, Tech 9. I really enjoyed the antique vehicles from the 20's and 30's and the sophisticated surfaces of the cars from the 50's. Take a good long look at the features of these body panels, the giant winged quarters, and the broad fascia and bumpers and ornate hood figurines…you will never see cars like this again from the Big Three or any other car manufacturer. I believe these amazing vehicles represent the greatest generation of the American auto industry.

Enjoy.

The link just takes me to a photo bucket home page. Great time till the threat of quarter size hail coming had us all scattering.

We couldn't get my truck and trailer to talk to each other and we finally thru in the towel.

Thanks Tony, I didn't get a chance to take any pics before the mad dash from the hail alert. Found out later that they never really got more than a little rain, then sunny the rest of the day. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone stayed around to find out. It was fun while it lasted.:thumbsup:

Jeff your car looked great out there. Ya know they say you should never take pics of cars on grass but yours is so nice it pulls it off easily.

My old man spent about 15 minutes going over your car, he couldn't get enough of it and asked me why mine wasn't the same. I told him to open up his checkbook and I'd get busy rectifying that. LOL!!!

I sent you a PM over at PT.com. When they have the North Gratiot cruise you and Jeff should come out and we'll have a few pops in the garage. I'm only a mile away from it.

Oh by the way...I'm getting progress reports on Ray Wojdaki's '69 Camaro. Sounds like it's going to be a beauty.

I was also there with the camaro. I had a good time.

Looked like a good show. Tony's pictures show a lot of variety - that is alway cool at a good car show.

Question of the day....Can anybody identify the car in image 098 (on page 4)?

They are bad-@ss little cars.

Some great cars in that pack! The Time Machines Cuda is awesome and I love the CTS coupe! I hope they don't 86 it.

Thanks for the pics.

Is the blue fastback sporting a whipple? Where can I read more on that car?

Thanks for prop. I will tell you all what a great show it is. The estate is awesome. I hope to get invited again next year but I hope the weather is better. We were lucky enough to come away with two awards. Our Dart won the designers choice for the pro-touring class and the cuda won the decade of muscle award. All the cars in the pro-touring class were just awesome.

That is the mustang that was in Hot Rod magazine a month ago. It has a Ford Racing supercharger on it. It is the 605 HP version motor from Ford Racing. Cool car. It is one of the new bodies...

Thanks Tony, when is the North Gratiot cruise? If I'm in town, I'll definitely be down for that! I'm sure I can twist Trush's arm too.

Ray's car was coming along pretty good, then when a few people lost power last week, he was one of em. He was down for a week! He's going on vacation for the whole 2 week shut down, so that pretty much means the car will sit for about a month between all that. I just hopes he gets it running by the end of the summer. It would be nice to see him get to drive it.

PM me when that Gratiot cruise is and your cell.:thumbsup:
