9/6/19: My wife and I went to the Adirondack Nationals put on by GoodGuys in Lake George NY today. This show has been a favorite of ours since we first started vacationing in this area back in the late 80’s. We went looking for ideas for our truck. Although most of these vehicles were absolutely fabulous we didn’t really find what we liked but instead what we didn’t like. Most of the AD trucks we saw were resto-mod’s with V8’s and all of the other amenities that go along with that style. We didn’t leave with allot of ideas, but we saw some amazing work by some very talented craftsman. Every time I go to these shows, I get torn between restoration and custom. My wife and I agree at this point that our truck is too original to go resto-mod, but instead, restoration (within reason) is our chosen path.

This show is too big for us to see the whole show in one day. We planned to return the next day but that didn’t pan out because when we arrived at 11AM, we couldn’t find any parking. We instead had to be satisfied with a very slow cruise up and down Canada Street watching the cars, trucks and the occasional burnout urged on by the spectators. Overall a great weekend!
