That sounds like a really good excuse to make a trip to the beach. i haven't been there for about 20 years and would love it, 1000 cars is a "big" show. by the way, how did you do, any hardware? i am curious, where did you exterior hardware come from? While it looks great on your car, i don't think it would suit my style. Would you be able to make the Carlisle show, there will be over 2000 vehicles at the Chrysler nationals.
