Nice collection of well-deserved awards John.  I am glad I didn't have to judge this show after looking at photo's.

Congratulations on all your success John...and nice hat! ?

I saw a picture of a replica of the Paradise Road Rod-Riguez that someone build - it looked suspiciously like your building style - was that yours?  Would love to see some build pics of that one, if it WAS yours...

AMEN!  Finished pics are cool, and I always enjoy seeing them - but seeing the work that went into them is always a real treat for me
