couple pics from a local show.

I went to a local show tonight. I saw one kinda cool looking 68? c10. Choped top and healthy motor. I burned some rubber on the way home and made a short pass. I got lots of thumbs up but some old dudes were shaking their heads. Tomorrow I will clean up both 1/4 panels.

Re: couple pics from a local show.

Not normally a fan of top chops on the 67-72's either but wwith the competition theme that one looks OK.I think the style of vehicle determines what's right for the ride.
