2nd year at the new location

It will be the "show" side of my car "coming out" since I had all kinds of stuff added and done.
I did Cruisin the Coast but that was abbreviated time spent there, and this show will have mostly people who know me and my car so it will be nice to share all I've done and what's planned.

Weather is pretty good. NO chance of rain. High may be around 80°
I'm about to head out.
PIX and YT video(s) TO FOLLOW...

I'll start with my 70 V-code Roadrunner

See my signature for the ridiculous amount of systems and parts I've had installed...
Here's some wide shots of the venue. Great turnout.

TWO 67 HEMI 4 SPEED R/T Coronet!

And...

Green 70 GTX next to me:

These next two 70 Roadrunners belong to brothers who live nearby and are friends of mine. THEIR CARS are one of the reasons why I decided not to pursue "factory original" for my V-code. THEY have got a lock on "factory new, day 1".
The Sublime is not an original Hemi car, but unless you checked the VIN you wouldn't know. I take pictures of their stuff (wiring, parts, etc) when I want an example of how the factory did it. At World Of Wheels in the Superdome, it just so happened that our Roadrunners were in the same small class of cars competing for trophies/plaques. Guess how that worked out? They placed 1st and 2nd, and I was very happy to get a World Of Wheels plaque for 3rd place, and that will never change. I'd always be behind them because I DRIVE and RACE my car. Mini-rant over...
BOTH of these cars were gorgeous before Katrina flooded the area. BOTH of them had water over the roofs. BOTH look and drive like they just left the factory in 1970.

426 Max Wedge (maybe?)

Charger R/T

I love the looks of this car! It's got a Gen 2 Hemi and THREE PEDALS like a proper muscle car!

Lolzzz...

So from the first time I put my Roadrunner in a show, just a few weeks after I bought it, I was in Mopars at the Battleship in Alabama and I won a trophy for "Top 50"
Every year I was in that show and every year I won a "Top 50" trophy. (It's a BIG show)
That is until....
Until MY car club took over the show.
THAT was the first year I didn't win anything!
Friends and acquaintances right??
So I didn't enter my car in my club's show last year or go to the show and it was a C.F. from what I've heard due to the parish (county) screwing with permits etc
COVID-19 don't ya know?
Anyway, I spent at least an hour cleaning up my car when I got there today, and I've ALWAYS got a "Top 100" plaque, and I didn't get there until about 9:30.
This year after all I did to my car guess what?
No "Top 100" or anything else for me.

1978 Lil' Red Truck

I didn't realize at first that I wasn't looking at a 2nd LRT. This was well done, and the interior was too.

Dude!!....SWEET!!

 

[biomedtechguy]

This Charger R/T + SE was just redone, and WOW!

 

[biomedtechguy]

Still ok to have a Confederate Flag here!

This car is SO cool!

This was an extremely powerful work of art. Original owner and she used to race it when it was close to stock, in an NHRA class for this 1973 Duster. I don't know if it was a 340 or 360 1973 car.
It's had a "major upgrade" to a serious Gen 3 Hellcrate beast now.
