My truck made Top 25 at the Grand Rod Run!!

I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging, but it's exciting. I entered my 68 in the show at the Grand this past weekend. There were only about 200 or so cars this year. My truck made the Top 25! I didn't really think I had a chance. It's tough to get in the Top 25 at the Grand. There's alot on nice high-end vehicles there.

Some pics.
Awards ceremony.

Me!

Me, my wife and our two boys.

Me, my dad and my older son.

And the star of the show.

Congrats! There is nothing like the feeling of winning a nice award like that after all the hard work it takes to make them look so good!

Kinda looks like my truck's "little" brother.

If you don't mind, what are the specs on the color of your truck?

Congrats.

You have every reason to brag; on your truck and what I assume is your "posse" in the 3rd pic.

Re: My truck made Top 25 at the Grand Rod Run!!

Awesome! Look like a lot of work, sweat and money went into building the truck. It's well deserved.

This may help you convince your better half next time you want to fix one up for the boys..
