[Bobby B.]

Eric your Corvette looks awesome in person. I've never seen a Corvette with these wheels on it before. I think they look great.

Thank you very much, I kinda got the idea for these wheels from way back when I was a store manager at Super Shops. I sold several sets of the Champ 500 wheels for some corvettes back then and they fit those cars nicely. Centerline doesn't make the 500 anymore but replaced it with the ones I have, the Champ 506 series.

I happy to say that sometime in the next few weeks, basically as soon as we sync our schedules, this 1939 Lincoln Zephyr is going to come to our Show Car Garage TV Studio for a little show car detailing.

I have to quit going to car shows...

Since attending this car show, 2 cars from the show have now been through a show car makeover here at Autogeek and a third is in the works...


1970 1/2 Camaro - Show Car Finish by Pinnacle - Modeled by Amy





1977 Can Am Corvette - Extreme Makeover





Having way too much fun....

Mike, You need to keep going to car shows bringing us the coverage of the shows you attend. You are doing a great job.

I love seeing the transformations on the vehicles that roll through that garage. One day I hope to have a garage set up like that.

Thank you for the kind words... I love going to car shows and talking with the owners. Most of the cars are all swirled-out because the owners don't know how to work on the paint themselves and don't trust anyone else to "touch" their baby. The results are that the paint jobs on show cars just gets worse and worse with time as they certainly don't get better and better.

Another thing is that it's real easy to take pictures at car shows, heck everyone does that... the key is getting them out of your camera, cropped, resized, uploaded to a gallery and then inserted for easy viewing by anyone...

Attaching and slide shows on some photo hosting site is better than nothing but my personal preference is to "insert" photos as seen in the first and second pages of this thread or in these threads,

Not complaining... just pointing out that while I like doing the photo thing, it does take a little time so I appreciate the kind words...

These threads that you are putting together of all the cars that come through your garage is easing my pain as I sit here in the sandbox (military, middle east) being away from home. 3 weeks and I will be home to pick up my D/A and try out some new products I just ordered.

Make sure that you stress to your wife that your online support and time spent here for this community is greatly appreciated by everyone here.
