Nsra - louisville

Guys,

Leaving for Louisville this morning , does anyone know who else is showing a
'33 other than Ridetech ? Huge show , we were there in 2010 when FF had a
booth, which seemed to me to be very, very popular. Sorry they are not showing this year.

Been a couple of times. Geoff might be going if his travel plans workout. I heard attendance went way down since the year change. Otherwise I'd be tempted to make the trip since I missed Coulmbus goodguys. It's also a lot longer trip than Columbus too so I need a really good reason to want to go and this year I can't think of one.

I'm still a maybe. I picked up a flight tomorrow and won't be back until 3ish. My son is sick. My wife won't return from Tampa until late this evening, so she has to work a few hours tomorrow. What the heck else could happen!

If we can't get on the road tomorrow, I think we won't be going. That's too far to go just to get in one day. My business trip is to Indy but I have a few months to get that done. It would have been neat to have combined it with some vacation but things are not going as planned.

The Tampa show is only 6 hours down the road so that might be cool this year.

Guys,

We had a great time .Inregards to cars & people , in my opinion it was bigger than 2010 when last here. There seemed to be fewer big name vendors this year. I guess FF, does not need the exposure anymore . Saw (3) FF cars two were in the show, (1) For Sale @ $65K, great number and Ridetech's , which is way beyond a STANDARD FF'33 , happened to be in Ridetech's booth when a guy drove in with a Blue/Grey car, very nice , spoke with owner briefly , cars fit and finish was extremly well done. One big change we felt was colors , in 2010 Purple,Green was big.This year it was red , black and two tone paint jobs in mass !! Displayed cars in the convention center were spectacular. Jerry Rices '56 Chevy, WOW ! All of these cars were , again , in my opinion way beyond the normal working mans pocketbook, but that's what dreams are made from. We felt the best car in the show was a guys '33 in the American Speed Companys booth, exceptional car. Go online and there will be hundreds af photos to view. Show was well worth the time & money !!

Hopefully we'll see some guys & FF cars in Tampa .

Thanks for the report. I have Tampa on the schedule for this year and Louisville for next year. Tons of photos online of the show this year.
