As much as we would have loved to have more cars at the show this year, it was simply a logistical nightmare getting them all there. So we decided to show 2 only to keep things simple. We took the roadster that we won the America's Most Beautiful Roadster Award with for 2008 and a 1955 Chevy 210 that was just finished up (I posted some build pics in another thread)

Here's the 55 all done and shined up. We ended up winning the GM Design award for Best Hotrod

You can just see the roadster behind the 55 in this last pic. We ended up taking home the Mothers choice Award for that one :)

That car was hot and I don't like the 50's stuff that much.

A very popular car this year. Nearly impossible to get a good photo of it...the crowd around the car was constant! Congrats on the win!

Yeah, it was just as hard for our guys to get good pics.

Thanks for all the comps guys, I really dig this one.

The seats are actually Jegs High back race seats that we cut down, widened, and added some bar stock around the edges. They are basically full custom seats, but we did start with a base.
