Good Luck On Your show.. Mine is on the same date In St Joseph Mo... Nice class for that award BTW

Whew after reading all the others especially Billy's Mine will Not be the Next American Novel. My Name is Dwayne Bressem I came off the assembly line on the 29th day of June in 1957. In San Francisco California. I have 50 original years under the hood. I have a lot of Model memories But can't really Pinpoint a year that I really started.. maybe 9 or 10. One of the first shows I attended was the NNL west when it was near the Oakland Airport ( Hilton Hotel Maybe?). In I believe 1987. After that My Model addiction grew and grew. I Moved to St Joseph Missouri In 1999, I am employed as a CNC Machinist for Grey Manufacturing. The Only Jack Manufacturer in the USA. we build a lot of Automotive Mechanic assecories.. from 7 ton Jack stands to a wireless column LIft.. look up grey Manufacturing for More Info. Been with My Lovely Lady Sandi since I moved here. Bought a house and Now it seems small ( too Many models LOL) I spend a lot of my time with Home Improvements. So My Lodel Building is Not at a stand still but about 1 a year. I build Most drag cars .. Funnies and dragters and a few Customs that I have Ideas for.. Especially for the KKOA show next Year. Maybe get Steve H out for that one.. I attend the Heartland show here In Kansas city and another couple In Omaha Neb. also down to Springfiled Mo and Council Bluffs Iowa Where I have met Many great Modeling friends. I am In the Procees of starting up a NNL style show here In St Joseph.. The first One will be on Oct 20th.. Its a Nerve wrecking job wondering if it will get off to a good start.. Maybe By this time Next Month I will be a Bundle of Nerves in anticipating this. Ok I don;t want this to be a Billy K diatribe, so .... Happy Modeling..

Cool Looking build . I like the Idea of a Cammer in a Ford too.. that wing on the front is a fresh Idea for a Gasser.. and Not a dragster.. a Great Visual Car.. Kept my eyes Looki ng ..

Nice very Nice.. I Build a lot of funny cars and yours will be a good one when you finish.. Keep us Posted.

Gregg.. If Alan smerchek shows Up i will ask him to do Pics ..for me and wil share them with You Gregg.. I can do a write up for the show if that is OK? And You can edit it all you want... Dwayne

cool Bob...\ thanks..

Ron... Nice Looking rail you have there.. Nice to see these built up. Dwayne

David... My sentiments exactly... I do this for enjoyment and to relax and to Put out My best effort In what I do.. I have received compliments and such .. even had Models Photoed and the Pics were In the Mags. I Have a Build that I take to shows Just to have something to Place on the Tables.It Is a 10 year Old Build.. and I still get compliments and have that little card Under it for the Photg to take Pics of and I feel Humbled By all of it, But I usually Make mention to the Photg that there is No need to take Pics of it It has been seen and in the Mags already. And then there are some that Have to BRAG about themselves and How they did this and how they did that and what they have Built and what they are going to Build. Not once ask what you did or doing .. those people I have difficulty dealing with.

I do the same I Put alot into my Models also... I have been to GSL and that year there were Over 200 In the drag Class. I figured I wouldn't even get a Look at by the Judges.. But the Model did .. because the top was down.. it was a funny car and I had it Propped up.. On ano0ther Note the one that was Offended was a Judge also.. His comments on others entries was not as Basic as My Comment.. Also Ego is a factor also.. Dwayne

OK I helped Judge an event recently and I Must say that some People have thin skins, and Bruised egos. I was commenting On what I thought didn't Look right and the Person who Built the Model was within ear shot. He took Offense at this and called me out thru emails and such, Saying I was Dogging His Model. I put My Models On a Table and Let the wind fly.. No worries and No consequences or Name calling and being Robbed If I don't get a Place on the top three.. I go to Have a Good time Meet Modelers and talk shop.. Look at the swap tables and juts enjoy the show.. Dwayne Bressem
