 Woo Hoo!!!


This is my Dad's 1956 Chevy, he Just finished it this past fall, and we spent the winter doing all the finishing touches on it... we entered it in Canada's largest car show, Performance World 2009 this past weekend.

We did excellent at the show, his car got Best in Class, and we got Best Display in the entire show!!!

Thanks everyone for all the comments!

I wasn't sold on this photo at first, but you really pulled it out. The processing is great, and the composition grew on me. :)

Congrats on a great finish and a great score!

I love the shine of the chrome. Your use of a wide angle lens and chosen perspective was fantastic. I gave you high marks. Good luck!
