I got a surprising award at Goodguys this weekend - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 06-29-2009, 07:37 AM

Way to go Bryan!!! That`s no cookie-cutter ride.You did the right stuff to make it a rolling fun machine.I saw the show mentioned in two places before seeing your thread.One where Liz said you went home with an award and one where Luv said he was riding with you when you left the show.I put 2 & 2 together and figured Craig was your award.Needless to say,that really had me scratchin`my head.Thanks for clearing that up.

big_al_71 · 06-29-2009, 08:08 AM

Congratulations Brian!!!!!!

It feels even better to win at a big show not like the local 100 car show type....The blazer looks amazing

STOCKISH · 06-29-2009, 08:37 AM

Much deserved man, much deserved.

Andy4639 · 06-29-2009, 10:25 AM

Congrates man that is one well deserved award. I just hope I get to see it in person at Ron's next month!

**GruntMoanCough** · 06-29-2009, 10:29 AM

Good for you, dude!
That's funny.....I gave you a vote for TOTM yesterday.

67ChevyRedneck · 06-29-2009, 10:32 AM

Very cool! Congrats!

70k52wd · 06-29-2009, 10:40 AM

Great job!!! Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to see it in person. It's a wicked roadster. Congrats to you.

truknut · 06-29-2009, 10:50 AM

That's a good lookin blazer.. I always liked the silver truck,but the blazer looks better to me. I'm the one that we talked to in Athens, Al a few years ago. Congrats man, Jeff.

ol'blu72 · 06-29-2009, 01:01 PM

That paint is amazing. Very well done. I didnt think flat red could look so good

69GMCLonghorn · 06-29-2009, 01:46 PM

You could have at least WAXED IT before you went down there!! J/K I wouldn't even be able to come up with an IDEA like that, let alone follow through with it and turn it into something like that. Well done, sir!!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-29-2009, 02:00 PM

Congratulations, Like everyone says, your Blazer deserves it. It is one fine looking ride!! WES

Sinister · 06-29-2009, 02:05 PM

Congrats, that's rad.

67ChevyRedneck · 06-29-2009, 02:17 PM

Forgot to add... how do you keep winning awards for such an unfinished vehicle?

(inside joke peeps.)

Also, did they give you an estimated date when it will be in the magazine? I think their timeline is usually 2-3 months

Congrats Brian!

C10crazy, did you mean silver blazer or truck? This one belongs to board member NuBomb...

**Nobby** · 06-29-2009, 03:41 PM

Great job Bryan. It looks Great!!!!

see ten · 06-29-2009, 04:04 PM

This is Bryan's old truck....

If I'm not mistaken, it's sale is what brought the roadster build in to high gear!

And for those of you who have yet to cast your vote for the TOTM...get to it guys!!

Congrats. Your blazer looks great.

BossHogg69 · 06-29-2009, 05:25 PM

I can appreciate your modesty, but your ride deserves every award it gets!! I just subscribed to that mag last month, so now I'll be looking forward to seeing your ride in it!

5150 · 06-29-2009, 05:46 PM

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I appreciate it.

I sold it last April to have the funds for the blazer. Asa took that great pic of it at my cookout last March.

No, Luv wasn't the award. If so I would have turned it down

Just kidding Craig!!!

Today 01:05 PM

I don't know Jesse, maybe I shouldn't build a console.

Don't know anything about the mag. I did look through some of my old Classic Truck mags and a couple of them had the Classic Trucks Finest 5 pics in their coverage of the event, but not all of them. If it gets in the mag, it would be cool, but probably not expecting it.

killer71 · 06-29-2009, 07:23 PM

Congratulations!!!
i agree with see ten, you guys need to get over there and give this guy a vote for truck of the month!

PanelDeland · 06-29-2009, 07:42 PM

Bryan,having seen it in person I am not surpised at the award.I am somewhat surprised that the judges recognized it for being so cool.
You had an outstanding vision and the ability to make it come together.I think your wife and daughter should also get some credit since they are right there with you all the way.I think you will build a console but maybe it should be removeable so that you can still win awards.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

**KevsClassics** · 06-29-2009, 07:53 PM

Congrats!! That is definately a honor. I love going to Goodguys shows. Always a blast. I'm sure I will be seeing it magazines.

MisterE72 · 06-29-2009, 08:15 PM

Congratulations Bryan. You're not giving yourself enough credit for the beautiful machine you created. Many of us have been blown away by your truck and now so have the experts. Take a bow and congratulations.
