Autorama.. My View..

Dave · March 11, 2007, 10:29:35 PM

I read all the crap on the HAMB and all I can say is WOW.. as far as the ridler award cars .. Some i liked some I didnt. I got a few pics and as sue and i were looking at one i didnt like his evening before we left It caught on :?: :?: You had to see the other side of it.. As far as the whole deal.. Kids dont go to the basement because id like you to live a full life :!: There was some scary stuff there. Dangerous stuff. There was some cool stuff too. I was kinda upset that the 40 roadtser deal that lobeck was involved in didnt make the great 8.. I guess it wasnt liked .. I dont really care for lobecks additude but he had dinner right accros from sue and i and and he was civil

He hasnt really done anything to me but shun me when i wanted a price on a frame. Guess i looked like i was broke

.. Any way troy won.. Cool car and lots of cool stuff on it along with money money.. I Drove my car down the street and into the trailer and that was cool cause 3 years ago it wasnt really road worthy and i drove it too :!: Everyone is home safe .. Ill post my pics this week........
Dave
ps: im ready to finish the roadster too.........

Lobeck did make the Great 8, he built the car for Sam Magarino (#1600). See it on the Street Rodder website here:

I really liked that car as well. I would have liked to see it win. But I did like Troy's too. I am glad to see something that looked like a real, steel car actually won this year.

I enjoyed the show, the highlite was meeting so many of the folks I see posting here regularly.

I have a slug of photos I will be posting on my local site as soon as I get a chance.

Not all the signs were put out right away, I made a couple of trips to figure out who the 8 were.

I made the Thursday and Friday meet and greet in the basement. And I spent a lot of time sitting at Jim Sheldons 56 Olds. That is one sweet ride!

Quote from: "jusjunk"I was kinda upset that the 40 roadtser deal that lobeck was involved in didnt make the great 8.

The last two were picked, late. As I understood, they picked 6 right away and held the last two in abeyance while final decisions were, dare I say, being negotiated. The rumor that some builder was known to have thrown a hissy fit in the past when "he" wasn't chosen, should not be construed to imply that "he" may have still been in contention after 6 pics nor that the judging team wanted some flexibility.
No, it was probably that there was just more nice cars left then positions.

Credibility can be a fragile thing.

Kool, I read on the hamb how crappy it was , he said he only like a few cars ... I figured the rest had paint and were actually neat hot rods... those 5 dollar guys just dont get it .... glad you enjoyed it , I always enjoy car shows period as its better entertainment than most anything else on any given weekend, ie. home show etc haha........
