John,
Awesome shots! Looks like it was a great show in Elburn with gorgeous weather.
We won't have too many more days like that, sadly. And, of course, it's
raining THIS weekend...ugh.

Thanks Ray. After seeing your car show pics, I should have tried some tilting
on the big silver IH truck. That thing was awesome. All 300 or more that I took
yesterday were uploaded as shot. It was real sunny, and the group shots were
overexposed. The chances of me going back and editing are slim for a while.
This was the best show I have been to in a long time. Real car guys that did a
lot of work themselves. The guy with the Cutlass SX did it all in his garage.
I still have the Concours to do, but might get that done over the weekend.
The 1st place in 60's was the white 66 Impala SS 427. That was a killer car. I
loved that 4 door Rat Rod too, is that the Blue Flame 6 in it? Or is that an
earlier engine? The other car that was ultra cool, was this one:

there is a lot of time in that one. Click the 'next" button for more shots on
that.
The Sheriff's Car was the yellow Torino. Is yellow invisible to Deer? .....
Jim? Or is it magnetic? The day he finished the restoration, he got the last 2
pieces of chrome in the mail, and got them on, then drove over to a buddies to
show him, and a deer ran right out in front. Try to find a grille for a Torino
with hide away headlights that was only made 2 years.
I am also doing some backup of files. My external HD crapped out, and I need to
get a 1TB version. Right now, they are going on DVD's. At least they are going
somewhere, so I don't lose 'em.

Very nice! Very well-composed and framed shots. I really liked the
flag shots. There were several cars that ALMOST made it to
koolsville...but not quite. The Model A with the bling wheels and the 37
Ford flatbed VW wannabe...if the builder had used 37-40 headlights, it
would have worked...but the inverted round pegs in square holes kills it.
The 4-dr Chebby rat with the updraft carb is really kool.
Good stuff, man.

It was an absolutely beautiful day. I spent it (for the most part) with my
Friend Bob Christ and his son David.
The show was on a beautiful farm in Elburn, IL. The highlight was
that everyone was encouraged to do a burnout on the road as they left.
Because it was put on by the Sheriff, it was cool, and there was a car
blocking the road from one direction to enable the process. There was a
crowd at the corner yelling at me to light 'em up, and no one else was
doing it in my little group with their fancy show cars, so I let 'er rip.
What fun.
Put on your bibs... (for the drool) it's muscle car heaven in the
corn field.
