Cool My first award!
Today was the second show I've been in and the first time I've competed. I totally wasn't expecting this. 2nd place! Category; '51-'72 Cars Modified. Participants voted, no one else. Some of the cars I beat out were just beautiful, I'm not sure I agree with the vote but I'm not complaining.

For the record, my plate doesn't say what it looks like it says.

Congrats! Olds seems to be a hard sell here at shows. 5 really nice ones at a small show a couple of years ago and no awards. I did snag one 3 years ago though. I only enter when I need to just sit and relax anyways. I didn't do any last year. They can be a lot of fun if your not serious.

Thanks again!

Sexy. Don't let it get to your head and put it out at other shows, cause that's just bragging.

Aww man

I was thinking I might epoxy it the the front of the hood. You know, like a hood ornament.
