That's an unprecedented DAY-2 collection, can I have it?

You should be out in the garage grinding away.....with your hazmat suit on.

Dan

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

He's too busy asking me for parts at 1/2 price (couldn't resist, but all in fun and glad to help)!

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

Lets focus on Dan's wonderful display not my tremendous ability to buy-low sell-never

PS: Dave "forced" me to pay less than I suggested:-)

Car guys are "THE BEST":-)

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

Guys

I can't even explain how excited I am to meet all of you and check out all of these Day 2 cars! This isn't my first rodeo at MCACN. I have attended all but the first year. Dan and I texted each other all through the World Series (yes I am from Cleveland) He has promised to buy me a beer to celebrate the win. I am sure I will buy him one also! One thing for sure is that I will proudly wear my Indians World Series hat!! I am still polishing up the Trans Am, cant wait to see all of you!!
#14 on the list - Mark Meldrum

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

Looking forward to it as well -

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

Now that my head is a bit clear and I have had some rest.....I can try to sum it up. However I feel like a broken record....as I seem to say the same things over and over each year.... as it is all true. How does a show get better and better each and every year.....well the MCACN Show Certainly DOES!

I wish to Thank Vicki and Bob for all that they do.....and the entire staff and crew behind the scenes. YOU GUYS AND GALS ROCK!

We had 565 cars in the show.....and I think I heard only one small complaint......that I personally resolved myself.

WOW, that a show, what a showcase.....I want to personally thank all the great guys and one gal that attended the Day2 Showcase. We were able to have a final amazing count of 23 amazing Day2 Cars of many makes and models. I believe I personally thanked you all for attending and making this showcase a Huge Hit.

I cannot wait until 2017, I am already working on next year.

Dan

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

Kurt and Dan scored a very respected 960 and 980 points.....two great cars guys.....that had a complete blast at the show [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

What a great time Tracey and I had this year. While we have attended MCACN plenty of other times, this was the first time we have shown a car. We had such a good time!

Dan...........you made a tremendous host. It was a killer display............killer cars............owned by killer people. Your passion is very evident in meeting you and seeing the byproduct of your work. Obviously, events like this do not just fall together without a large amount of persistent long term effort.

Congratulations on the score of Jody's Chevelle. You knocked it out of the park on that car!

Tim &amp; Tracey

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

I truly loved all the Day2 Cars......but one went home with ALL THE HARDWARE, Historic Hardware.....AND SO DESERVING.

Grady's 1969 COPO Camaro won the following.

1, The Helen Gibb Memorial Award.....an outstanding participant that shows passion and enthusiasm for our hobby.

2, Day2 Concourse Gold Status......earned 999/1000 points.

3, Platinum Pick as Judges Choice - Best Chevrolet.

This is the very first Day2 car to ever receive The Platinum Pick as Judges Choice - Best Chevrolet and earn 999 points.

Well done Grady and Mike.....so well deserved [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

The &quot;By Grady&quot; emblem was icing on the cake. Congrats gents - you knocked it out of the park with this car...

I will have a better shot for all to see today, what started as kind of a joke seemed to be well recieved. I am sorting some shots of all the very correct Day 2 stuff Grady put on this car and will post them soon. Still do not have any good daytime shots of the car outside, hard color for a camera hack like me to shoot.
And Grady was VERY driven to use all period correct Day 2 bolt on stuff, some of it $$$ but as it turned out well worth it. One of the last pieces he scored was the all plastic Hurst roll control switch.
And thanks Bob, Vicki, and all the crew for another benchmark show. Bob I wanted to let you know the move out was great this year for us, thanks for the adjustments made to accomplish this for the box trailer guys. Only 2 hrs and 15 min from retrieving the truck to the ramp @ I 294. Awesome [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

That sure is the truth. I had the pleasure of being next to them all weekend. Very knowledgeable, very fun, very influential!

They had to keep detailing the drool marks from me when they weren't around [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

That's great to hear the car got 999. Grady &amp; Mike are very deserving of it. Both are stand up guys. Was that a nos emblem or rechromed? Very cool. LOL. Hope to see it in person some day. Looks perfect with the day two stuff on it. Steve. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Fantastic job. This Camaro is killer. Love the &quot;Grady&quot; badge! More pix of all the day-2 details!!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

OK, I can go on and on like everyone else about THE SHOW, but I'll post that elsewhere. For now, ........ speaking for myself, ... Grady's Burnished Brown Beauty stood out among some fantastic pieces of art in the Day 2 Showcase. Those two guys team up for some of the most jaw-dropping works we have ever had the pleasure to view. And to top it off, ....... they're both so damned humble and likeable, ...... it just ain't fair! Proud to be able to call them friends.

HUGE Congratulations to Mr. Grady Burch and his Artistic Buddy who I shall now refer to as <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-size: 14pt">MichaelAngelo.</span></span></span>

Great job Dan Vasic in pulling together a VERY IMPRESSIVE grouping. You ALWAYS overachieve my friend.

Great.......you big TEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

Hi everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I would just like to send out a big &quot;Thank You&quot; to Dan Vasic and everyone at the MCACN show. We met some fantastic people with some beautiful cars. It was our first time attending the show, but we intend to return! All of the displays were fabulous, but we were very honored to be a part of the Day 2 invitational. A special shout out to Dan, Dan, Kyle and Karen......awesome hanging out with you guys! We hope that one year you can road trip out east to the Adirondack Nationals in September. It is a wild weekend!

Thanks again!
Jennifer and Mike

Re: 2016 MCACN "Day2 Invitational" Showcase
 

I would like to thank everyone for your kind words. I still am surprised at how well the car was received, not of Mike's work but for a Day 2 car to receive the honors it did.

Happy to see some old friends and make some new as well. Had a great time and can not wait for next year!


Grady
