[BallnRods]

What a great show! I took more pics but, it took forever to upload these to photobucket, If you guys need more pics I will post more when I get time. As you can see my appreciation goes way beyond just Pro-Touring, I hope you guys enjoy the pics.

Chris,

I really enjoyed your pics, very diverse.

Thanks for taking them and posting them.

Anyone know what make this 'humpback' is?

Don't make me lie to you but, It's a great looking car! I've never seen a set of white walls look better. I would love to pimp this gangsta mobile....

That car looks badd.

I'd get some 3 piece black center 17"/18" wheels for it, clone stock looking small center caps like this one has, and get a fairly wide white stripe grafted on to hi speed 17" or 18" tires and put a PT chassis underneath. Add a 500-600 hp LS motor and a 6 speed; auto or stick.

I'd give the same treatment to this '35 Buick.

packard , built by odd rod creations , oh and it also has a ford v-10 with a whipple supercharger

[fleetus macmullitz]

Found it.

Thanks Kenny.

Interesting powertrain ...wow.

Distinctive grill compared to other cars of that era.

May have a slight chop?

Their website didn't say.

Packards seem to be pricey cars.

[BallnRods]

I wouldn't change a thing on that Packard, it's perfect just like it sits right there..... laid out on the ground.

[fleetus macmullitz]

Chris, what did you think of the event?


(BTW at V8 TV they have a recent video feature of a same era Packard with a 560 hp LS3. The original driveline was worth enough money to Packard guys that the sale paid for the warmed over LS3 and the new trans. Extremely well done car.)

I've been going to this show since 2001, I've missed about 1 or 2 since then but, I haven't missed one in 4 or 5 years. This is my favorite car show that comes around here. I do everything I my power to make it out & I can't wait till my car will be ready to bring out for the 1st time, hopefully next year. For the last 2 years I've had to go on Sunday which isn't as good as Saturday but, I made it out none the less. I've yet to make it to see the auto-cross but, I told my wife I already have plans next year on Saturday so she can't pull any "I have a hair appointment & we have a wedding to go to" bull on me. She did try to say I can't plan that far ahead but, I said I just did. We'll see how well that works for me next year, LOL. Sundays’ are OK but, lots of cars leave by then or early Sunday morning & it's pretty much a race to see everything before everyone starts packing up & leaving. Saturday is more cars, more time to take your time & it's just a different mood. The guys & gals that are up there all weekend are worn out by Sunday but, Saturday spirits are still up, they are happy & more open to talking about their cars. I’ve brought my daughter every year since she’s been born & I think I’m going to make it our Father/Daughter tradition.

Oh yeah & Green….

I think she sees a bright colored car to her left… LOL
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v711/cbenoit/2008%20Goodguys/DSC06584.jpg

She’s so independent…. With her Hot Rod shirt & Lightning McQueen shoes, she’s Daddy’s girl for sure.
