Default Anyone attending Goodguys in Columbus next weekend?

Looking forward to another great show. I am going with my friend in his '29 track roadster. I know it is not a g-machine, however, my buddy Jeff built 90% of the car himself. I figured this group would appreciate the craftsmanship! He was involved in every aspect of professional racing at one point or another (won Indy in '86 with Rahal) and ended his career as a co-owner of the Tasman motorsports Champ-car team. The car has a Brookville body, but Jeff machined/fabbed everything else including the hood. The nose is carbon fiber, the frame was fabbed from box tube and hand bent the old school way with a torch and a bunch of wet towels.

Jeff designed and helped me build the frame that I am running on my 69 camaro convt.

More of Jeff's car can be seen at:

I met Jeff Trush a couple of years ago at this show as well as Steilow and Kyle. I look forward to meeting more!

That's a great car, and you're right, there are a lot of people here that can appreciate the craftsmanship in building a car like that.

I am planning on being there. Going to be a long haul with a fresh restification from Florida to Ohio with my wife and one year old.

Steve...I really hope I get to meet you there. Your 69 was a big inspiration for me. I would like to show you my car in person and get your thoughts on who/what/where how I could maybe get some magazine exposure.

See you guys there......

Nope, not the Vette. Going to bring my 69 Camaro.

Check out this link and follow it to the bottom. There is a new link at each bottom to the current pictures. I have poured my guts out into this thing over the last year. It has been an emotional and financially draining process. I think the car and the story behind it is magazine material. I would love to honor my dad with a shot at perserving it forever in a magazine.

All I can say is WOW!

Rolled into the expo center yesterday. When they say 6,000 cars...they mean it! I have seen some of the most amazing rides. Just sitting in the main gate area and watching them drive in is a treat.

More later.
