Well, how bout it? Are any of you guys planning on entering your trucks in any shows this summer? I'm thinking about it, but haven't decided yet. If I do, it will be a small local show.

And for you guys who have truck pieces all over and "works in progress", go to a show, car shows are great motivators

I really like to but the 56 won`t be ready this year so the 69 F100 will have to do.
Some of the local near by car shows are the best, nice small towns and real friendly people totally interested in old cars and trucks.

No! Mine is just a driver. It will not be entered in any shows this summer. I plan on attending a few though.

All the smaller shows are normally on Saturday. I am on dialysis on Saturdays, so even if it was a trailer queen, it would not be going.

None are here. This is the bible belt. Plus it is a retirement community which makes it worse. Need I say any more?

The only "shows" my 53 will see are the ones where people drive by slowly and stare at it in it's disassembled beauty. I plan to attend every local show that I can though.

I'll definitely be driving mine to some shows this summer. Whether anyone looks at it or not is another thing. I'm not into trophys but I do like driving the old truck. The biggest show I'll attend this year is the National Street Rod Association Northeast Nationals in Burlington, Vermont, in September. I'm really looking forward to it...

I will put mine in front of the restaurant Fathers Day weekend for our big car and truck show. We get over 100K people that day.

My truck isn't anywhere close to being fit for a show. Although at the last show someone had entered a '70 Firebird that looked like they just pulled it out of a ditch. t was rough and would have made my truck look good....LOL

I do go to the local cruise nights when I can, they're always fun
