OK, a couple of you guys asked me to post a few more pictures from the car show I was at yesterday-so here they are.  I resized them down to the same size as in the first thread (650x488 ) to keep them all below the 100KB limit and to make them all the same size.  This time I managed to squeeze 6 photos instead of 5 into one thread and keep it below the 500KB limit (well, its actually 501KB but I don't think the mods will be too upset  Wink).  Anyway, here they are.

This first car is a 1932 Ford Hot Rod.  These little "tub" cars are the type that are commonly associated with 1950s street racing.  This car had a very nice flame paint job and from the looks of it was probably pretty quick.   Grin
...

This is a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.  The owner of this car did a very nice job of keeping that classic look but adding some performance.  Under the hood was a 350ci V8 chevy motor (this is the motor that was first made famous by the Camaro in the late 1960s, it wasn't avilable in 1955).  What I really liked about this car was the paint, it was a dark red/purple color that had a very deep reflection in it.  It looked amazing!   Shocked
...

This is a completely original 1967 Pontaic GTO.  Under the hood was it's numbers matching 400ci V8 engine.  This car was still owned by the original owner who bought the car from a dealership only a couple miles from the show back in 1967.  Although I didn't like the color all that much, it was a very attractive car and nice to see one that was so original.
...

Well, a car show would not be complete without a couple serious performance motors and this is one of them.  This is a super charged Chevy small block motor that was in a 1969 Chevrolet El Camino that was obviously intended to be raced.  The owner claimed that his highly built motor made 800hp.  What I really liked was the air brushed drive belt on the super charger that said "El Camino."
...

This is a 1968 Pontaic Firebird.  It had a 400ci V8 under the hood and what stuck out to me was the paint job.  If you look close, you can see that there are ghost flames on the car.  Also, the "Firebird" badge on the front fender is not actually a badge but has been painted on.  This car was very nice.
...

Finally, this is a 1929 Ford Model A.  This car was restored back in the 1970s to look completely original but had a couple slightly modern features (such as a transmission with overdrive and a higher compression head on the motor) to make driving a little easier; these modern features were not visible but I talked to the owner quite a bit because I was the next car over (my blue Camaro is visible next to it in the background).
...

Well, thats 6 more photos from the show.  I have more if anyone would like to see more of the show.  I hope you guys liked these.   Smiley

Very Nice Richie.
My good friend had a 69 Firebird with a Chevy 400 in it!  Shocked It was orange and ran in the high 11's with slicks and Cam2!  Grin

Not too much as changed, but  a couple things have.  Right now its raining outside so I can't take any pictures right now. 

The only things that have changed are some interior features.  I put a factory tach in it, changed the pedals (still stock but they look a lot better) and installed a new dash pad.  With the money I earn this summer, I hope to replace most of the interior.
