Fitzgerlalds car show

WE had a good time at this show put on by several car clubs and sponsored in part by Comp Cams and Ronnie's Hot Rods .The show was a good one for Mike and Sindy as they received a top 50 award and Ronnie's Hot Rods top pick award, which was a huge honor because Ronnie builds fine hot rods!I was impressed with his "stuff",and they had several cars on display .The first night we ate at the Fitz buffet and got to see, Uncle Kracker play there also ,good show !Saturday the weather was much nicer,warmer and more cars showed up.We'll go again I'm sure !

The ole 55

Got a chance to help Kinny and Mark work on a 55 Chevy ,a tree had fallen on the roof and broke the window out !Mark is now the owner of this 55 he acquired it from Kinny ,I'm sure there is plenty of work to go around. A new 300 hp. 350small block and 3 speed trans had been recently installed by Mark, I'm sure it will be a neat car,a simple little cruiser , Mark already has a bad lil 55 4 speed with a 355 cu. in. small block , and a few other projects also in the works more pics soon !

Thats cool !

Hey all , I'd like to congratulate Albert Kruger and Mike Helton for both being winners in two different car shows recently. Alberts win came at the Centerville Tn. Auto show, his Jeep powered by a small block Chevy won the 4 x 4 division .we had a lot of fun building this project with Curtis , Albert's son !
Sindy , Mikes wife took their Nova to the Comp Cams sponsored show at the casinos in Tunica . They won best in show and the Mayors award ,the top two awards ! Not too shabby guys

Crusin the coast

Well we had a great time ,the weather was awesome,the beer was cold ,our women were great!The whole premise of the cruise lead us to several areas around the coast .At each of these stops when we arrived there was a car show, bands ,food and fun . We danced a little,cruised a bunch ate great seafood and relaxed a bunch !The crowds on Friday night were a bit wild , they line both sides of highway 90 coaxing the drivers of cars to burn rubber , and there was plenty of that !

Cruisin the Coast

We are heading to "Crusin the coast", in Biloxi Ms. Oct.3rd.-10th . This is the 14th annual crusin and will be my first trip to this show . Ive heard its a blast and cant wait for a little down time and some good sea food too. The Helton clan and Jill and I are going to cruise in the mighty Nova all over the coast , Mike has a real nice enclosed trailer to haul the beast in and our pop up tent to hang out on the beach !Ill take some photos of Mike and I in speedos !! ha ha It could happen with enough beer and some bubba teeth!

Edgar Winter

hey all as many of you know I'm a huge Edgar fan and as life leads you in strange ways , I got a chance to meet him this Saturday at the airport in Memphis ! The band was traveling thru Mempho on the way to Phoenix Az.They were very nice and excited about playing the show in a theater that was in the round .Edgar was cool and laid back dressed in black that contrasted strikingly with white his hair. Jock Copeland and I met him and later we both could not figure out why we did not take any photos !! But i did get the autograph !just like a little school girl!

Delta Crusin @ Sams Town Casino

We had a great time at the Delta Crusin, held in the parking lot of Sam's Town casino in Tunica Miss., The weather was hot and so were the cars .This was Mike and Sindys debut with their 69 Nova and it went well, the car was a hit with Southern Crusin magazine asking to take photos to put in an issue, and some mention of using the car for their annual calender! That's great for a first time out !900 cars were in attendance and its a well run show with plenty of activities for all ages .I'd like to thank the Memphis Street Rodders Association for a great time ! Plan to attend next year !

The end is near

Well the end is near ...no I'm not some nut toting a sign on the street announcing the end of the world ! ha ha !I'm talking about the Nova. It's all details and the buff out now .detail, details ,details!the beast will soon hit the streets . Been kidding Mike and Sindy they need to go ahead and buy a new set of rear tires because all Sindy wants to know is how fast it will go !,and when can she hit the nitrous button !SO we started driving it and tuning on her its sweet and sounds nasty too !

NSRA in Louisville

Hey yall got a few pics from the NSRA ,the weather was nice and the cars were cool !Met some nice people and walked all over the place for a day and a half and still did not see it all !Just wish it was closer to home ,drove for seven hours to get there .
