Hi Mike, yep I found out about the Car d'Alene thing about the time it was over. Not sure why I never pick up on that event before hand. Maybe next time. Glad to see you're back among the living!

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

We went to Goodguys Spokane this morning. It was a pretty anemic turn out compared to what Friday is normally like. Very few indoor vendors were on hand. It was difficult to tell if the limited turnout was due to the questionable weather, or if lackluster enthusiasm has turned things south. I guess tomorrow will tell. At least there were a few trucks to share:

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

Thanks for the pics...:mm:

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

I remember Greg Fautchs truck when he finished it the night before the show a few years back. The white truck with 'Thrifty' on the door.
Did you get a chance to check out the roof and dash?

Wish I could of made it this year. With all my new founded free time I'm busier than ever.

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

We were back at the Goodguys event again this morning. Turnout was much better than yesterday, but vendor support was almost absent other than a few of the big outfits like Edelbrock.

It really is a nicely finished truck!

Yep it did pick up from quiet:

I'll take the Flat black truck with the green accents… and the orange Nova next to it...:metal:

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

you know Mark, looking at the pics of all the trucks in the show… yours is the best. the right amount of attitude, the right amount of muscle, the right amount of character and a whole lot of cool… plus execution out the wahzoo.

glad you had fun and the turnout picked up...

Awesome pictures looks like a good show, and some great cars and trucks

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

X2! ;)

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

I have been hitting car shows almost every weekend this summer, the more little ones I go to, the more disenchanted with GoodGuys I become. I had to take a break because I can only take so much commercializm and I am losing my patience with the elitist snobs (those who think rolling their car across BarretJacksons stage is the end-all be-all of showing cars).
Yes I am happily aware that I do not own a GTO, but not to piss in your corn flakes mister Goatman, but my car is more rare than yours.....(talking about my Tempest of course)

So had to take a break...besides, I really wanted to enter the stepside but it isnt driving yet and my tow truck to haul it is in the shop getting the tranny rebuilt.
Hello rock, I am going to be your hard spot today.....

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

Mark, I had all intentions of stopping by to say hi to you and your wife but by the time I got back over that way you were gone.

BTW the black '60 Chevy without the hood belongs to Reid, aka 72BigRed here on the forum.

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

The problem with this website is I read part way through someones awesome build, then follow a link to someone elses and get stuck into that build. I have to admit - this is an amazing build thread

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

Yes it is...:metal: and I have found the same "good" problem...:lol:

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

The best haha

Thanks for stopping in and leaving comments!

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

Boy that seemed to be a sweet show! Our shows here this year were slower than normal as the weather was crazy hot. :chevy:

Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
 

Well we had a new measure of fun this afternoon. Our youngest daughter Laura brought over her friend Jani and he shot a quad copter video of our house and neighborhood. It turned out great and was a lot of fun learning how the stuff works. The weather was beautiful and my truck is actually parked out front in the driveway next to his yellow/silver/black Smart Car, which can barely be seen in the shadows:
