VENTURA, CA
– February 5, 2008.
After many long
hour nights that turned into mornings there was a sigh of
relief on Wednesday, January 23rd when at 2:30 in the
morning we rolled our recently completed '29 Ford Woody
Roadster in the trailer to head to Pomona. After just 4
short hours of sleep we were on the road in a successful
attempt to beat the road closures on the way to southern
California. We unloaded our Pacific Coast Special into the
main hall at the Grand National Roadster show at 9:00 that
night. We were all relieved after weeks and months of day
to day long hours of work. Four short months ago we decided
to take on the task to complete the project for the 2008
show season and after re-doing 95% of all the sheet metal
work, we were pressed for time on paint and assembly once
January rolled around. We went to compete for the America's
Most Beautiful Roadster honors and after seeing the other
cars in competition including the original Ala-Kart,
Undisputed, Magnitude, and numerous other cars, we were
intimidated but felt we were right in place among the best
at the show. Competing with a low budget and relying on
creativity and imagination is not always easy but when the
awards ceremony came and we were called for one of
the "outstanding" awards in the AMBR class, all those months
of hard work paid off. With 14 cars in the AMBR class
we are proud to say that we won Outstanding Engine in the
class! We would like to thank all of our sponsors for their
help on this project and believing in us. We would also
like to thank everyone who helped out on the car throughout
the years we've been working on it and making it better with
each thing we do to it. With one show under our belt and
many more to go with much more driving ahead of us, we hope
to see you at a show in the future! Until then, here are
some photos from the show:
