It was great. Apparently it was formerly a family oriented dude ranch, been there along time. Yup seems as tho I have most of the bugs worked out.
It is just north of Durham Ontario just off Highway 6. We are going next year
Thanks! The striping is done for now. It's always cool watching him work.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

dude, I'd be in heaven there. I luv the old western looking stuff. Got a few themed things at my house. I like how those big name companies did some throwback looking banners.
The vehicles look good, I esp like the chopped green ford.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

They did a very good job keeping the them. There where guys who drove there cars from Florida and Texas. The chopped green ford gets driven all the time.

Well today at noon, after I sleep for a bit, we are off to Georgetown (an hour away) for the Rock’N‘Roll’N Classics car show. They shut down the main street for the eve. Meeting up with some friends. Then Saturday morning we will drive to Milton (an hour away) for the Northern Showdown Charity Car Show. It's a custom low rider truck, car show, this show has exploded from last year. I'm entering my truck in the limbo contest ;) Should be fun. Maybe I will see some of you local guys?

I met Dan Woods from Chop Cut Rebuild and got a signed plate. I also got recognition for the top 50 :) I was not the only Diesel Dually there. It was a great spot for a show.

Sounds like a fun trip, thanks for posting...Jim

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Looked like a couple good shows. I really wanted to attend the Northern Showdown. Sounds like it really grew since last year.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

great show pics, thanks!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

We had fun
Much bigger and better than last year. Close to 500 vehicles of all types. We will cruse there together next year.
NP your welcome

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Well on Saturday at the show the organizer of the 519 truck show I went to a month ago came and found me to tell me that I won "Best of show". I said no way we picked "Best lowered" category. There was a bunch of confusion at the end of that show we thought it was over so we left. He told me how to pick up my 3' trophy. I still can't believe this is for my truck. :metal:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Cool, congratulations for the very deserving best of show award!

And I really like the article too. Well written with great photo's.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

very cool, not much of a trophy guy. but it is nice to see people appreciate your work. I had a similar thing happen to me once.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks AD It's nice to read someone else's opinion on what I created.
You know I didn't build this truck for a show truck, I built it because this is what I wanted. But it is nice to get recognition of my hard work from total strangers. Trophy's are cool too but in the end I love driving it the most. 2300mi on it now.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Limbo contest at the show Saturday was fun. Only went through once due to the fact my truck is 5' tall sitting on the ground. But I plowed my way through ;)

That picture just made my day.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

so cool

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Very cool on all! I'm glad you posted pics of that diesel dually. I was watching an old episode of Restoration garage and they had footage of a show they took their rat rod to. In the that show clip, I saw that truck blowing black smoke but you couldn't see most of the truck. Very cool on your big win too!
