First ever award

I went to the Avon American Legion Family Car show today. This is the first time I went to something other than a cruise in. It was a participant judged event. There were over 100 vehicles entered, and I actually won something.



Everyone always comments on the color, especially the ladies,

Thanks! I went to this car show just to say I did. Wasn't expecting to win anything. It makes all the time I put in on my truck for the last 9 years worth it.

Congratulations, Mark! It also looks like you had a nice build progress display. I'm sure it made a difference. I believe people really appreciate seeing what it takes to build a project like that, and most people are in awe of the efforts. Great job!
