So ive never officially entered into any kind of a judged car or truck show, but I plan on my first one this coming weekend.

It is just a local show, maybe 200 cars.... i will be in a truck class - 1976 and newer (its mostly a car show)... im not really concerned if i place or whatever, but I want some advice from anyone who has entered a show before...
should I bring an album of the build start to finish? Any tricks or tips for the show? Any cool ideas or showing tips?

Anything would help...
in the words of happy gilmore saying to his caddy "Why don't you just watch me, and make sure I don't do anything stupid. Okay?"

Thanks!

 

im in the same boat as you. but i usually just open the hood, and put the windows down ,

you could also have a brief photo album , maybe set it somewhere under the hood.

 

When you meet the judges slip them each a $20 bill!

 

Make sure you float some PT.net stickers around

 

If it was a big show I would do the book on how it was built. Something like a local show many people just go to go IMO. You had a awesome poster that you had at SEMA, do you still have that? If so post that and that would be enough.

If you don't want finger prints all over it post a "Please don't touch" some where around it.

 

Ive seen mirrors under the truck too. Im sure you wanna show off what you got underneath.

 

Laminated 8.5x11 pics/writeups describing some detail like under the hood, interior etc.

 

DAMN!!! Maybe I shouldnt enter lol... DEEP lol

 

Ahhhh please dont touch cards!! Exactly why I posted this thread, Good call... i cant tell you how often i see people touching people rides at local cruise-ins... Im like WTF??


Thats what she said....

Any and all trophies, magazine articles (laminated), awards.
