3rd Place
Street Magazine (A German Magazine) had a 3 day show not too far from here from Friday til Sunday.
I drove there yesterday and decided to enter mine in the "Best of 60´s (Original)" part of the contest. Later we drove back home. This morning I had a wierd feeling that I should go back and see who wins all the trophys. As soon as we got there my friend said he could have sworn that they called my name. I said I would check later. After a while I went up and asked the guy how my truck did, he checked the list and told me to go get my truck over there as quick as possible. I drove up there and he told me I won 3rd place. The first picture was yesterday when they checked the truck out and the second is from when I got her back to the shop.

Re: 3rd Place
Thanks!
I had the only truck there between 67 and 72 but there were alot of nice cars from the 60´s and didn´t think I had a chance. As soon as I get my pictures online I will put a link up.

Re: 3rd Place
I know what you mean. I took my 72 to the Brothers truck show last year. There must have been 4-500 trucks there, and I was shocked to win the daily driver trophy. The staff and magazine editors at Classic Trucks magazine really liked my ride. I was stoked, and am going back again this year! You have a very nice truck there too!

Re: 3rd Place
Thanks again!
money, time, effort, blood, sweat, and tears. All of the above. Blood and tears came at just about the same time. I slipped trying to get the Caps off the A-Arms. I thought I busted my hand but I just ripped off a little skin. Other than that I was careful. I finally got my Pictures up. Check them out Here

Re: 3rd Place

Re: 3rd Place
I followed your build when you were here in the States buying it, then shipping it and after it arrived in Deutchland....the disassembly and restoration.
Nice job. Congratulations!!

Re: 3rd Place
Congratulations Sean,
It must have been a great feeling when he told you that won third place, makes it worth every hour spent on the truck. Your truck really turned out nice. I am hoping something like that will happend to me when I go to the Power Big Meet in Vasteras, Sweden next weekend.

Re: 3rd Place
Long time no hear Mats!
Thanks for the congratulations. We were planning on going up to Västerås too but we didn´t get enough people together. The long drive scared a couple of them away. We were going to go up in a VW bus and check it out and maybe take our cars and truck up there next year. I wish you luck if you enter your truck up there! Take lots of pictures! I love pictures. @ estig70 - Thanks for the congrats!

Re: 3rd Place
I hope you will make it to Västerås sometime, it would be cool to meet some board members there.
