I hope you bizznatchez are getting ready- Here's my day today...My only day off, mind you-
yes, old people can still wash cars. Final zaino on red car, and big *** truck after clay bar. After this, it's out to begin the buffing on the big red thing.











This car show shat is for the birds. :p

I spent a little time cleaning under it this past weekend...I just have to put a couple coats of Zaino on it sometime this week and polish the wheels and it should be ready!










Luckily I dont have to worry about cleaning the truck....they wont let it in anyway!

A guy (well a dealer) in Pensecola sells them...I will get his name and address and PM it to you later. Its fairly universal and should fit on any trailer...and certainly will with a little fab work. Plus once installed it is removable with only 2 pins. It really saves the front of the car from rock chips!

This is the only picture I could find that half way shows the mounting brackets...like I said its really simple, those black L shaped brackets bolt to the front of the trailer and then the shield pins on to them:

So have you guys started cleaning yet?

It must be nice to trailing it there other than driving it everyday. And im sure a garage helps to.


Ill have some pics up thursday.

I cant wait for the show.

Pretty much done cleaning, gotta give the trailer a little love, and we're southbound and down.

Cars are looking good, can't wait to see everyone Saturday!

We have 884 registrations this year (a 90 car bump up from last year), and there are always day of show registrations available. The weather looks promising at this point so we look forward to seeing everyone there (please remember don't be late and please don't cut it close, as Silver Springs insurance regulations state we must have everyone inside and no cars moving by the park gate's opening for spectators at 10 a.m.).

I need the info on the trailer guard as well if you can hook a brotha up!

Travis will have shine, but likely will be something you don't use on the car
