Won My First Trophy At Local Show! (Pics)
Hey guys,
I went to a local show this past weekend, Newark Autofest, and picked up a 6th place trophy. There were only about 150+ cars, no special truck class. Anyway, the top 6 cars get to be on next years show t-shirt, so I guess I will have to pick one of them up with my truck on it!
Here are a few pics of my truck from the show. Don't mind the lame PT cruisers, there were about 10 of them there from a local club that attended.
On a side note. These pics show my paint after the full Zaino treatment. Wash with Dawn, clay bar, wash with Z7, Z-PC with a porter cable, 3 coats of Z5 pro, 2 coats of Z2 pro, and Z12 glass cleaner. The 7 year old paint has never looked so good!
Sorry, my first experience with putfile, I can't figure out how to get full sized images. Click to enlarge

I did the paint work myself. It took me over 10 hours+ do finish it all.
You can buy the products here: http://www.zainostore.com/
The rod is a 1/2" stainless steel rod. I only use it because the stock struts to not hold the weight of the hood. I have a sleeve I made for it but it holds the hood all the way up. I like to have the hood a little bit lower at shows so that people can see the cowl hood, but high enough for people to look at the engine....

Yeah, I am running stock hood struts. I was looking into heavy duty ones but I heard they fling the hood up they are so strong.
Lumadar: This is only the second trophy show I've ever been to. I usually just attend local shows (non-competition) for fun and to check out the other cars and trucks.
