Midwest Hot Rods

Well, since I was not able to attend the Flatlander's event, I went to the Midwest Hot-Rod open house in Plainfield, IL today. After that we went to Hooters, and my truck stole the show. Here are my trophies....

And, no Chris. You can not share this with my wife....

Nice!..... truck....

Looks like all that work on your truck has paid off. Keep us up to date all Summer on any other trophies you win.

We're sorry you missed the Flatlander Truckfest. Our event featured a grown man in SpongeBob pants and a guy from Cary, IL putting out the fire the natural way!

FP, I know what you go through, when you pull out of the garage you become chick magnets don't ya. If you need a place for one or more of your trophys I'm sure I can find an empty stall in my stable, I really like your trophys.

Hey FP,
I can't believe you let her stand on your running board!
I notice you didn't allow the helper with (10) inch heels to stand on there - that's showing some nice will power over there.

Looking good in Illinois.

Ben, I'm a little forgiving on the running boards. I have not finished them yet.

So, are those trophies going on the mantle? Or maybe just hidden away somewhere...
