Cool Desert Nights 2010 - We Won our Category!

Cool Desert Nights - 2010 Show & Shine was a great success. For us, it started Saturday morning about 5:30 am. We're just setting up in this photo. That's our tent in the background. We propped the hood up and showcased the motor all day long. We received lots of comments... all good!

Dennis and Annette K. brought their 33 Chevy. Dennis is the one that purchased the 1975 Corvette engine that was originally in our 63. That motor rebuild is going very well.

Cool Desert Nights - 2010 was their largest car show yet. Well over 700 vehicles were registered.

There was a wide variety of vehicles...

including this Rat Rod truck. Double click on the photo and check out the size of that exhaust pipe.

Strawberry slush's (adult version) were available for our guests. Tim and Melinda M. said they were very good. .

Annette K. said they were very good too. Annette is Dennis K. better half.

We won Work in Progress! The judges even remembered us from last year and they remembered the Harley from the year before.

This plaque couldn't have been won without the help of all our friends over the last year. Especially Ty T. and his wife Bonnie (for letting him play). You too Wilson (Lester H.)

Cool Desert Nights 2010 - Preperation

Cool Desert Nights is 5 days away which means it's time to put the body on the rolling chassis. Dennis K. and Ty T. came by to help with the assembly.

A body harness and an electric winch were used to lift the body.

Touchdown! Everything lined up perfectly.

This is the first time the air cleaner has been installed and it looks great. The following is a video. Be sure to push the play button (triangle). Check out the comments as well.
