Re: C10 Nationals Texas 2024
Thanks for posting!
Looks like lots of eye candy there And yes, I’m also in the camp where I prefer the shade-tree budget build examples over the $100k show queens

Re: C10 Nationals Texas 2024
I'm a fan of the stock or slightly modified restorations. But have to admit that I'm jealous of some of the budgets! And the prices shown in several photos just blow me away. Shoulda coulda woulda bought ten decent trucks ten years ago and parked them in a building. They would have appreciated a lot more than an S&P 500 index mutual fund or even or gold, which is supposed to be a hedge against inflation.
