Well Smokey, even though you might not have won the first place trophy, you
have sure taken a giant step by just having a truck that's great enough to
show. I'm sure I speak for lots of members in saying that most of us have
struggled for years to just have "a nice looking truck".....but one that's
not great enough to enter in a show. Seems to me you've already won a
pretty good prize by just moving into a stage where your truck is "show
quality". And that's quite an accomplishment for a truck that's a daily
driver! Most of us are not quite there, and we celebrate our comrades who
have made it to that point. First place.......maybe not. But one helluva
great effort to get to the point that you know you've built a "show truck".
Great work, my friend!
