Way to go John!

Maybe the judges are partial to convertables!
(It is a convertable, isn't it)?

Does it have the original 'fuzzy dice'? ;-)

Maybe thats what it is the other one with 2 1/2 years and $6000 invested is a coupe this one is a $4500 convertible and it gets the trophy. the opal frost 67 coupe is every bit as nice as the vert maybe even a little nicer but got nothing. John

 

Scott, here is a pic of the coupe that got nothing

 

Nice going John! Smooth. It is a bit of a kicker that the one you put all of the sweat into comes up dry. I agree with the above post about convert's. It could be possible that the "rag top" feature may have been a part player. Reguardless, it is nice to come home with a trophy. Jake.

PS: How you making out with the Forty?

They are both very nice John. However given that you have put so much time and effort into the coupe, it's really a shame it never brought home a trophy.

Did you talk yourself into keeping the opal frost? I thought you said you might sell it.

Way to go John! Hey did You sell the 67 Coupe or decide to keep it? Wassup?

John,

Just talked with Pam this afternoon.

Seems she got the red light from Oxnard PD today!
(Now I'll let her tell the rest of the story)

She left here in a 1 ton Chevy. I hope she wasn't armed!

 

Hi everyone, I and the wife have decided to keep the coupe since I was going to rebuild another 67 coupe for my oldest son we will just give him this one and part out the one we had for him. We have another show to go to this weekend. It is at storybook land it's a kids park but we have gone every year since we started running the coupe we get four tickets to get in we have to show the car for five hours. this will be the fourth show for the vert in as many weeks. there is no judgeing at this one just a dash plaque and 149 other sweet cars. I still haven't done anything with the 40 but it is getting closer especially since I don't have to rebuild another mustang this summer. John

 

My '82 F-150 got a trophy at its first show last night. Of course, I'm thinkin the category was a SLIGHT bit different in my case .
