Default Autorama- Dallas

Autorama was alot of fun. A lot of nice cars were there. I took some pics and I'll post them up when I get a chance. I received outstanding conservative hard top 90-02 for my car. I wasn't expecting anything I just entered for fun but it was a nice bonus.

We're going to the one in San Antonio this weekend. We missed that one b/c my g/f got sick after we got to Dallas last weekend. I heard it was a good show though. Nice cars.

Did you see the seats though. Just a little overdone if you ask me. Anywho, I about had sex with that 76 T/A (the silver one up there) when I saw it. Im a sucker for 76-78 Trans Ams. The yellow one (78) from Allen was nice too.

All the cars were clean and the firehawk was "different" but IMO not good different. Hard to say what the judges were looking for though.

I didn't car for the seats too much either but I thought the door panels were really nice looking.

I really like d the silver TA too but the car I really wanted was the 72 or 73 white camaro. The pic of it us up there too.

I talked to one of the judges and he was really cool. He helped me out a lot by telling me what they looked at and what they wouldn't looked at.

That silver t/a does look amazing from the pics, im a huge sucker for them. One was right next where i parked at school the other day, a little rough, but i was late for class just lookin at it.

I didnt remember any seats or interior mods done when i looked at his car.... didnt really pay attention to it i guess...
