[GtoLord]

See you there

[Teege24]

[91WhiteGeeTee]

I should be able to make this as well. It will be nice to meet some of you.

[SkyPony]

I like the "Best Personalized License Plate" category! I'm in!

I have to admit I've never been to a car show with awards before...what all is involved?

Bring your car clean and show it off, not much more then that. Maybe brag a little :worship:
Some of the categories are participant choice, so that means if your in the show you vote, so you have a vote in who gets some trophies.

[Mustang Shar]

Yep really CLEAN! Paula I live in Glen Ellyn...if you want I can stop by with some products and show you how to detail. Gotta be a Sat or Sun tho. Pm me if you want then we can get you set up with products.

Showcar..do you ship out? LOL We have a newbie to detailing and if she's interested maybe you could suggest a starter kit for her. Paula that's only if your interested. But for sure you need some good microfiber cloths-cannot live without them.

See just talking car show is making me pert up from the cold A** Winter blues

Yea showcar has some good products and he offers detailing classes too :poke:

[ShowCarDetail]

Shar, I can ship anywhere. With new clients I can go over what products the vehicle needs based on make, color, and the desired results.

[SkyPony]

Um..."desired results"????

I want my car to be pretty!!! Pretty car!!! That's all I know.

And Shar - thank you :) I will PM you now!

[Mustang Shar]

LOL Paula your car will be STUNNING! We'll go over what you have and what you need.

Steve-I will need some of that spray shine...the white bottle...oh man I need to get to your site. LOL

I would love to take a class but Skokie is just too far. Personally I need to learn how to clean my engine..scares the heck out of me and I know its Ok.

[SkyPony]

Oh! Engine! I was told my engine is very clean for being an '06! (which is good since last week was the first time the hood had been up since I bought it)

*shiny* I like shiny things :)

[SonicGT]

Yep engine bay clean and all, heres how mine typically looks

[dark horse]

Show off....... :)

[91WhiteGeeTee]

Thats Pretty!

[ShowCarDetail]

Shar, If you really want a class, I can do it right in your driveway with your car. Weather pending of course. I am really praying that the warming trend can cont.

SkyPony, I would love to help you out too with your car. Just let me know what you would like to do.

[SkyPony]

If you give Shar a class in her driveway I might just invite myself (I dont live too far from her)...

EXACTLY!! Maybe we can all meet up at someone house..I'm in a condo so getting even the hose is a freaking event PLUS drive is all sun no shade.

Let's think about this! Steve if you are willing, let's see if we can get a host house and DO IT.

[Mustang Shar]

Show off....... :)

Yeah me TOO! Hahahaha i need some more

Oh! Well then I can host! I have a 2.5 car garage with hose and 4 cars can fit in the driveway. Well, not all at once if we want to detail, but you get the point.

:023:

[SkyPony]

PS Shar I still LOVE the flames on the engine bay!

[Mustang Shar]

LOL thanks, I wish the parts were less expensive so I could finish it out. : ) I figured with mostly a stock engine I could do something different with it.

Well then..I'm thinking your place might be perfect for this meet. Thanks for volunteering your place, awesome. Let's see how many want to get together for it. Do a meet n greet and detail class! YEAH!! Then we'll coordinate with Steve and hopefully it'll be a nice and warmer when that time comes.

[SkyPony]

okay, i'll post up a new thread

[SonicGT]

Had some confirmations today on a few things I was waiting on.
So I've updated the flyer.

Registration is the day of the show, but print out the pdf and help promote :023:

[SuperSonic05]

wow great work dan

[MarkyMark]

May31st, sounds good to me!

[SonicGT]

I just got 500 flyers printed out, so whenever I see people I'll try and have them in case you want some to pass out. If I need more I'll get more printed. Or anyone can print out the pdf as well. I took the pdf to officemax and had them printed in b&w is all I did.

[enrapture6]

Hennessy's is 3 miles from me so I will be there. I am excited because I actually have a muscle car to go to a muscle car show with. lol. All I have to worry about is not getting made fun of for running though a car wash before showing up. lol. I have a huge passion for muscle cars so I am looking forward to google eyeing everything.

Bring it out, once you start entering carshows you get hooked. Then once you start winning trophies even more so.

[Mustang Shar]

Welcome to the addiction..LOL and you will be drooling.

[SonicGT]

Just throwing a reminder, 30 days away. So keep promoting and spreading the word. I think we can make this a great success.

I do need a couple people to help out the day of the show.
This would involve taking registration, helping park cars, etc. You would have to be there early to help with setup and get ready. If your interested in helping please send me a PM (only if your sure you can do it)
There will be a benefit to those whom help the day of the show.

[Ambenz]

I am planning on attending, sounds like their are gonna be a lot of Mustangs attending from all over.
Got a shout out from my Grabber friend Timberwolf and he is comming with some Iowa friends.
See you all Sunday!!!

[SuperSonic05]

[SonicGT]

Hey aren't you having a baby right now? why are you posting on the forums, LOL

[retro_pony]

Dan, I'd love to help out, but with the long drive - I'm just trying to get to the show! If I can help out throughout the day, please count me in. I'm coming stag for the day so I can do more than just hold my chair down with my butt! Great way to meet more people too.

[91WhiteGeeTee]

[SC.Vitamin.C]

[SonicGT]

Picked up the trophies today,they look good.
Here's a sneek peek of one, and no they all dont look the same, for example the best mustang has a mustang on the top and is black, the others are not :)

[Mustang Shar]

[Mustang Shar]

Well my Stang will NOT be ready on time for the show. I will not have an entry....Damn! But I'll get it back sometime and there will be other shows and....well Damn!

I am sooooo sick n tired of driving the Escape. BORING all this great weather and BORING.

[soxtang]

[ford9050]

[SlickStang]

[SonicGT]

[SonicGT]

I am so dumb how am I suppose to fit a table in the stupid GTO:wall: I will figure something out.

[SonicGT]

Throwing out a final reminder before the weekend, hope to see many of you at the show :up:

[SC.Vitamin.C]

I should show up for a while.

[Silk Butterfly]

I just saw the trophy.....WOW.

[soxtang]

Yes it's a nice trophy..next year it will be mine..lol

[Ambenz]

T-24 hours and it's misting lightly here!!! WTF!!!!
Sunday morning and afternoon forcast looks promising at this hour.
Today I'm detailing the pony, cleaning up the garage, and mowing the lawn...if it not too damp.
It's gonna be a great show, see you tommarrow!!!! :drive:

[SkyPony]

somehow i have to get the car washed....but i spent 4 hours canoeing today and i have no arms left!

[enrapture6]

Well I just spent 6 hours cleaning the stang. What a dirty daily driver. I am thinking this means I will be a go for tomorrow. I did not just waste my Saturday cleaning the stang for nothing. Still seems dirty though, but I am too tired to clean anymore. Now I see why some people pay a few hundred dollars to detail there car. lol. Anyhow I will be there for registration. See ya all there. The trophies look nice. Maybe I will get lucky and win won.

PS: As a warning to everyone, there is some construction on Randall road near Hennessy’s. They are re-paving Randall road which means it is kind of messy with gravel/left over old/new black top. I would suggest coming from the north and not the south of Hennessy's.

[ford9050]

Thanks for posting the info about the road construction. I am helping out with the show so I gotta get up early..

[SonicGT]

The Show was a great success. I want to thank everyone for coming out on such a great day and just having a great time. We had over 60 cars entered and many more just as spectators. I want to also thank Sky Pony, Retro Pony, SuperSonic, and Ford9050 for helping throughout the day. Without you guys it wouldn't have gone as well as it did. Again thanks everyone who made it out.

Heres the thread with pics and such

[SkyPony]

Fantastic time - great job setting everything up Dan! Steve (from Hennessey's) was great as well - so involved.

I can't wait for the next one!

[SonicGT]

One thing I do want to say I'm sorry I didn't get alot of time to hang out with everyone here. Running a carshow, even with all the help is alot more chaotic then I thought it would be.:119:

[Ambenz]

Congratulations Dan on a successful event!!!!
Now call in sick Monday and take a break....you deserve it!!!!!!!

[ford9050]

Dan the show was really good. It's will only grow

[SlickStang]

Man am I sunburned but the show was awesome!!:up: Thank you to all who were involved:up:

[retro_pony]

Dan, nice job. Sky, congrats on the award! Ryan, good meeting you.

I'll try to get some pics posted once I get the trunk cleared out!

Yes, been there done that..it is HUGE! But from what I saw, looked good. DJ was playing some pretty good tunes too.

[SC.Vitamin.C]

Had a great time. Thanks Dan!

[soxtang]

Very nice Dan..I also have sunburned (racoon eyes)

[retro_pony]

Very nice Dan..I also have sunburned (racoon eyes)

Ditto. Although, with the hat - more 1/2 and 1/2 for me :)

[mot250]

I remembered to use sunblock on my face but I got home with a sunburned left arm...nice day for a drive, it was about an hour each way for me.

[Mustang Shar]

Hey anyone we know win the 50/50 and how much was it?

[retro_pony]

Teenage girl won, think the pot was just short of $100.... $92.

[SonicGT]

Teenage girl won, think the pot was just short of $100.... $92.

Yep was $92, not sure who she was.

And just to let everyone know in case you were wondering the show helped alot with the startup costs and monthly expenses of the site. Not in the black yet but it helped make a considerable dent. So thanks everyone who entered the show and everyone who participated in the 50/50. Now if only next time trophies and dj were magically free, LOL

[SuperSonic05]

i can see dj free but not trophies
