We got our truck home from the shop this weekend. Drove the heck out of it on Saturday and had a great time. Took it to a local VCCA all Chevy show on Sunday and won an award. The show was great. The show had at least five TF trucks that included one panel truck and a Cameo. There were also plenty of ADs, Art Decos and a few 67-72 trucks too. All of the cars and trucks there were so nice. Many of the vehicles there were ready to be judged and were restored to absolute factory condition. I really enjoyed seeing so many unmodified cars.

We had the truck judged but as we figured, we don't think we faired to well with all of the slight modifications we made. They tell us we will get our score in the mail. No mater how we score, it was still cool to watch the judges poor all over the truck and note every last little detail. I never have actually seen a car judged like that. It was very interesting. And, they were very serious about it and went about it in a very professional style too.

The truck is now home and soon I will get some pictures posted on my website and send some to Peggy for an update to my stovebolt submission.

I hope everyone's weekend was good! We sure enjoyed ours.
