Re: Sacramento AUTORAMA Feb 17-18

I saw your truck there PTC, yes it is very nice. I dig the show, have a good time every time I go. These aren't what we talk about here but a few "trucks" that were interesting.

The first one I have to wonder if the guy really made this out of a Nomad, he told me personally that he did, I had a hard time not punching him in the face. To make something like that out of a NOMAD you would have to be mentally ill. It was nice, but not nice enough to ruin a Nomad. Hope he was lying, the photos in his book showing the making of it never snowed a Nomad before as the photos show it into the work a ways, maybe it was started years ago when a Nomad wasn't worth as much, but it was ALWAYS a special car so I don't care if it was done in 1970, if it was a Nomad someone needed to be punched in the throat.

Did I mention it ticks me off to think it may have been a real Nomad?

The Studebaker truck is a favorite of mine when ever I see it, very cool.


The Semi truck was friggin AWESOME! I had a nice conversation with a beautiful lady while I was standing there looking at that. She said to me "Excuse me, am I right, those are Mustang taillights?" LOL She was kinda embarrassed to ask, I about cracked up when I saw that it is exactly what they are, what an eye she has, she was so cute telling me how she grew up with her dad having Mustangs and she thought that is what they were.
