I love indoor car shows .. too bad they don't do them,
(at least here in South Florida), anymore. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

All we have now are outdoor. Well, it's not so bad, I guess.</font>

I love that '68 RS/SS 396 Camaro! Stinger hood, mags, and whitewalls! Looks like cheater slicks out back? Talk about Day 2!

I think I saw "Hot Stuff" run at US 30 in 1980?
I wish I took more pix then.

That's a John Silva C2 hood... one of several different styles that he did.

Torque Thrusts have always been, and will always be, very IN. WAY, WAY IN!

Yep, these pictures are very cool. Two thumbs WAY UP.

Re: 1968 Chicago Rod and Custom Show
 

Very cool.. I love looking at the pics from back then... Everytime I do.. sit and look through a cool old 70s Magazine or something.. I always wonder what these cars look like TODAY... where are they? So much time and care went into them and they were beautiful and shown and displayed.. but what happened to them all? Where they at now? Anyone know what I mean?

Re: 1968 Chicago Rod and Custom Show
 

Man Ed I was thinking the same thing when I saw some of the paint jobs on those cars! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: 1968 Chicago Rod and Custom Show
 

Yep. I think about that frequently as well. Unfortunately, people are reverting some of those cars back to stock. Some places you get made fun of for having a car that looks like that today... even when it's an old custom.

Re: 1968 Chicago Rod and Custom Show
 

I remember seeing a Fathom Green Chevelle (68 or 69) with wild lace paint on it at the Elmhurst cruise night a year or 2 back. I believe it was the original paint job from back in the day. It definitely stood out. That kind of paint is icing on the "Day 2" cake. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

This one brings back memories. The Buick was originally owned by John Stillwell of Stillwell Buick in Downers Grove. My high school friend bought it around 1970 and drove it for a few years. It was painted black when he sold it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif
