I certainly had a blast! I went there with my 3 yr old son. We trailered my dad's Nova just to be safe cause I wasn't looking for any drama. Although I was busy with my son and have very few pics of the show, we had a great time. Ended up running into a lot more people I knew, surprisingly.
There were enough genuine nostalgic cars to keep the vintage vibe strong. There were also plenty of cars built in a period theme, though without real history behind them. My only real criticism is that there is not real pre-registration so the field of cars was pretty random. If they could have grouped the cars better, it would have been that much nicer.
The swap area was small, but I still found this NMW safety loop. I thought it was cool since it was orange, where several NOS ones I've seen in different color boxes have all been bare steel. Just from my exposure to all things NMW, I am certain this is original paint from the manufacturer. I also have a guy buy the NMW shirt off my back! I guess I need to do another run of those.
It was a shame I was't able to talk to the owner of this car. I've heard the Bash cars were all yellow. When my Dad's Nova had the big block in it, it was sponsored by Bash. Originally I thought Bash had something to do with the swap, but the original owner said he basically got a discount and some parts for the name.
