Well, the local car show was another success with over 250 vehicles for judging and 50+ on display. I had to settle for 3rd this year out of 17 in my class of "mild" mini trucks with 8 mods or less. Years ago when my GT was new I took 1st, last year 2nd and now 3rd... maybe I should hang it up? I keep getting worse.

Anyway, here are a couple pics. sorry they are from my cell phone, forgot the camera.

Didn't pay attention to 2nd, but 1st was a blue S-10 lowered with 18's. That's it besides minor things here and there, just a really clean truck.

One that didn't place is this. All I can say is... WHY???
I'n not exagerating, this dude had tubing on anything and everything that was round.

Re: Round 2 local car show....

Well, the front bumper used to be gray, with a BIG hole in it...

Once I finished the repair, I primed it and sprayed with rattle can DupliColor Bumper Black... it's actually a good match for unpainted cladding.

I used to just keep it that way because it buffs to a nice finish (unbuffed in pic) but I wiped it down with ICE detailer at the show and was happy with the results.
I'll have to do a little extra work before painting my cladding to be sure the paint adheres properly but it's worth it to look good now. This was a temporary fix until I have it running the way I want. Once it's mechanically sound without issues and easily tunable then I'll be painting the cladding all the way around. I like the stock look but the claddingis just too much work to keep nice. When I'm at a show or meet I like to be able to detail it with 1-2 products. A bottle of ICE detailer and some tire shime and I'll be good to go.
