Got accepted into the San Francisco Rod Custom and Motorcycle show!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**John Fabris** · 12-23-2007, 08:40 AM

Just found out that the powers that be, accepted my truck to be shown and judged at the San Francisco Rod Custom and motorcycle Show This coming Janurary (11-13) at the Cow Palace.

Time to start detailing out the truck (I have not driven it much as I was trying to keep it clean for this show!!)

So, wish me luck (I really don't expect to win an award there) but I am really hopeing to get noticed by a magazine and get a photoshoot!!!

mvfd70 · 12-23-2007, 08:44 AM

Congratulations and best of luck to you in the show. You've got a great looking truck. I really like the painted wheels.

cONGRATS!

CG · 12-23-2007, 11:07 AM

Your truck belongs in a magazine. Some of the stuff Ive seen lately gracing the pages just dont really seem to be magazine material.

Mondo · 12-23-2007, 11:20 AM

Cool!

Funny, I saw a pic of your truck a while back and was trying to find it again as I like that color blue (which I assume is stock?). And here you are... Good luck!

**Palf70Step** · 12-23-2007, 01:00 PM

Congrats on the selection and good luck...show them what a real truck is

ChevLoRay · 12-23-2007, 01:27 PM

It's the dream of everyone of us, to have someone want to see our truck. To have them invite you or accept you into their show arena, is great and a testament to the caliber of vehicle you have. Congratulations!!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-23-2007, 03:43 PM

**Boog** · 12-23-2007, 03:50 PM

Well alright John! Like I have said before I love your truck. Color, stance and all. I wish it was coming to a show near me...

Rollie396 · 12-23-2007, 03:55 PM

Congrats,you deserve it!I've admired that truck since the first time I saw a pic of it.I just hope I get the chance to see it in person some day!

**KevsClassics** · 12-23-2007, 04:04 PM

Congrats. I think your truck is definately magazine feature material!

70short/step · 12-23-2007, 05:09 PM
