Got some more trophies!

It has been a long time since I blogged, I almost forgot what it was all about. Lots of things have changed since the last posting. I believe we were still living in Texas the last time I wrote, ya well we are in Nebraska now. Joy and I moved up to the big NE and to make a really long story short bought a house and remodeled it. Finally we are settled in and doing great in cozy Fairfield,NE. Dave ended up bringing the Mustang up to Nebraska and we have taken it to a few car shows, the most recent being the midwests Last Fling Till Spring show in West Point,Nebraska. This show rocked, Dennis Gage from the TV show My Classic Car was in attendance and the little town was just jam packed full of really cool cars of all makes and models. We ended up winning our class which was the 1967 car class...and then also we pulled in a whopping 5 foot Monster trophy which was a sponser trophy, so this particular sponsor liked our car out of all 700 cars!!!! I think they gave out about 15 of those bad boys so we did really well.


A couple other notable shows we went to were, St. Paul, Nebraska and the Lincoln, Nebraska shows. St. Paul was a really awesome show! The royal coachman car club puts it on and they do fantastic. Lots of great rides showed up and the park setting is really nice as well. We accidentally entered into the 1964 thru 1973 class instead of the mustang class but still ended up getting first runner up...but the winning didnt stop their! We recieved a $100 dollar check for driving the furthest to the show, and then they announced the big daddy! PEOPLES CHOICE! and you know the people are unbiased. WE WON THAT AS WELL!!! Dave and I were flying high,that really meant alot because the people voted on it.

The Lincoln car show was kind of boring, and HOT! They have it on the asphalt parking lot at Anderson Ford, no shade. Anyways the cars were ok, and I met some really cool people. We also won first place at this show.

SO not trying to toot my own horn but for a first time resto like this the record is pretty good, 6 car shows, 8 awards and a 100 dollar check!! HOOOWAAA! Check in later for updated photos. Thanks, Andy

Fun in Florida...and another award!

Well what a time I had out in Florida, let me tell you! Dave was kind enough to fly me out to Orlando for the Silver Springs FL Mustang and Ford Roundup. The show was January 9Th and 10Th and we were ready to go, the temp however was not on our side. We woke Saturday morning to the sound of ice hitting the ground. It was approximately 32 degrees and sleeting! YA IN FLORIDA! Being die hard car buffs...or just stupid and crazy, we decided to brave the bad weather and hit the road. We checked in at the park and got our spot inside the beautiful park, we pulled up right next to a nice 67 coupe with a 390 in it. The show was a absolute blast even though the weather was cold. Dave and I met a bunch of great people and I got to tell my story over and over about the restoration process.
We had a ton of people say that our car was the nicest there, what a great feeling. Their was a lot of real nice cars there, mostly mustangs but some T-birds, falcons, a couple trucks, and of course the exotic section with a couple panteras, and a gt40. The second day was award ceremony day and Dave and I couldn't wait, about 3pm they started calling them out. Now this car show had about 800 cars in it so we knew we had to be good to win, and win we did...We got best classic mustang interior!!! HOORAH 2 shows 2 awards can you believe it. Also we had the Editor of Legendary Mustang Magazine come and ask if he could do a feature on the old stang in his mag, we of course said yes. ha ha ha. So who would of thought a couple old farm boys from Edgar Nebraska would be winning car shows, not me. Stay tuned for more trophy updates and of course the magazine write up in April!
