Yesterday we took Butters to our first show! It was a very small gathering of about a dozen or so cars, which was great because the judge took the time out to talk to us about what judges look for, explain a common scoring system and point out a few things we could do to improve Butters without spending a fortune or compromising its ability as a working truck. He complimented her condition and told us we'd found quite a little gem in her, which made me really happy to hear.
Here's a pic of Butters looking festive with her balloon at the show |
Shows can be fun... Be careful desiring to compete... It tends to make the whole car show experience frustrating... Consequently it leads to burn out... Trust me I speak from experience... I have had several cars over the years that I did the whole car show competition thing... In 1991 I found myself dreading going to the shows... I sold ALL of my "toys" and haven't been to more than a handful of shows since...
"Raymond" is kind of my way back to do the show circuits again for a limited time (no more than 2 years) then it will be a driver and "Haulin" will go away...
I tell you this just so you can always enjoy your truck...
I love your truck and would be proud to have it with "Raymond"... your truck with a trailer behind it with Raymond on it would be really kewl.... Just so you know Butternut Yellow was the second choice for Raymond... I even did two test fenders with the Lt Blue and one with Yellow... The deciding factor was the frame... I decided that a light blue frame would look better than the Butternut yellow...
Have a Groovy day...
