On the HHR, I want to do some minor engine upgrades, maybe a two tone paint job and a DVD system in the headreasts, but who knows, I'm getting all kinds of ideas on this great site!!

OLDSCHOOLFREAK: SUPER STOCK was big when I was in high school and I was oblivious to it - all it was was really LOUD commercials interrupting my WLS in Chicago radio station rocknroll. They would go on and on about funny cars and name all these names in loud fast yelling and then say, "BE THERE!!! BE THERE!!!" I never even knew what they were saying. Nowadays, I'd go watch those great old cars tearing themselves up for the crowd and VERY little money.
How many cars have you restored? Do you work on engines and all that stuff too? But you know what I liked - I liked the SOUND of the big engines!

I attended this show last weekend. As a relative newbie hooked on restorations, it was truly amazing! People were on the streets with their rides, and they chatted freely all about them. At 200+ photos, you can guess that I was awestruck at the restored vehicles.
If you have the time, I would appreciate knowing about which cars I didn't identify right and also if you can identify some of the ones I left blank... In the titles they are numbered. I plan to reorg it and repair the damage soon. It's easy with this web album freeware.

No biggie - I was feeling like I did a lousy job of identifying them, but someday when I'm old, rickety, and gray but can still operate a mouse - I'll go through them myself LOL - Glad you enjoyed...
