Default IL SuperChevy Pictures (70k+ size, 23pix)

Well here are all the picture's I took from SuperChevy yesterday. My camera was pretty much 1/2 full so I could only fit 23 picture's on it. Overall it was a pretty good show and glad I showed up. Dunno if it was worth the amount of time I put into my car for the past 3 days to get it ready, lol.

I was a little bit suprized to see that the 94 camaro at the show score better then me and took one of the class winner's. Looked alright, but didn't notice to much special with it other than a cleaner engine bay because of the chrome(guess I didn't look at it close enough). Can't remember the other class winner. I was also told that I can't see my score sheet so I can see what I did wrong, yet I read in Andy's post that he was able to see his...

Now that I'm done with my 2 cents , here are the pictures:




My wonderful car




My friends car, looks great after he finally cleaned it

Must say the vette pannel looks better in person


Mark's interior is just awesome!

Andy's Camaro



Best Vette I've ever seen:




This green camaro was just perfection...

Love the killer paint job!




WOW

Thanks for sharing the pics! Your car was looking good. There is always room for improvment - hope my advice helped. Very surprized the judge wouldn't share your scoring, they only show it after the awards are over. Maybe they only discuss the top three? I dunno.

I agree there were some AWESOME cars there!

Yeah, MadIce, cool pics. Your car was lookin good. I don't know if I talked to you or not. Mine was the SOM SS (the 9th pic or so). I always enjoy talking to the people at the shows.

Mark IXZD 150 - I agree with ya. At least they judged andy's correct, hehe.

Sunset01SS - Very clean car, I was expecting you and me to actually take class winners for street . I don't think we talked, prob kept missing each other.

Xsta Z 28 - I think your advice helped me out a lot. I'm really glad you gave me your opinions seeing how I didn't get it from the judge.

Always glad to help, sometimes worried that my comments come off as being picky - glad they helped, a shame you didn't get a change to talk to the judge after the show. Some of their comments are very good, some are pretty picky. One my car they didn't like the orange peal and said I should wet sand and buff my car!

I could talk and look for hours on cars.

My only advice is maybe WW grille or !grille and fill the holes. Never been a fan of billet grilles on cars.

Actually that car is Sunset Orange Metallic, and those rims are Fiske FM-5s IIRC.

Oh no problem. I know you mean well . I do really like the way the grille looks, so I dunno if I wanna replace it; but if I ever did I'd prob get a wings west one and paint it pewter aka steve's camaro

I also like your car alot MadIce, but that truck grille also doesn't do it for me. They just don't flow well with the smooth body lines on a Camaro, and look like a JC Whitney add-on type thing. Its the only thing I would change on your car. Most judges prefer "custom" stuff that looks as if it could have come from the factory that way. I've judged four shows now and picked up alot of pointers from the other veteran judges.

Now, color sanding factory paint is a bit picky though LOL.

Yeah, in that pic it is a bit dark. SOM is a tough color to photograph. Here's a pretty good pic of my car though...plus, it's on the dyno
