WagonFest FL 2011 Pics and Video

Really enjoying these! Thanks for posting!

Thanks guys...... great pics..........

Great pics guys, hope to make it to this show next year.

Had an absolutely fantastic time. Sorry that I didn't hook up with everybody, though it was great finally meeting Bill, Bob, Chris (whose AGW is the reason my DD is a BRMW and not a Volvo R), Ric and Stingroo. Special thanks to Sprocket (for pushing this into the event it bacame) and his family (for giving *my* family a fun time away from the show). Mick's now hooked on collecting Junior Park Ranger Badges like Naya.

There sure was a lot to motivate a guy out there on the green. You'll love Turkey Run, Sting. It's even bigger (though it has a different feel).

I've got a feeling that the WagonFest SE has just become a tradition.

Oh you bet. I know I'll be going back next year. And hey, with any luck, returning from Turkey Run with a '64 Olds (Hey, a guy can dream! And at least the raffle money went to a good cause that I already support. )

Who had the pic of my car in Sting's hubcap reflection? I have already forgotten....... Guess I'm getting old....

Didn't Sprocket take that?

It was great to meet you (finally in person) and your wagon. Loved it!! You have done so many great custom touches..I can't believe how you have time to work on it since your wife takes it every Sat. Lol

I didn't know I had sway over a Volvo R! Glad the AGW could help out

See you next year!

..Oh..and I wonder what new idea Stingroo will have with his wagon. I think Sprocket got his gears going for paintwork.

^^^^^ I just spit my beer out, that's comedy right there!!!!

Robert, I got you picture right here hold on

Yeah, he got my gears turning and my dad's too! Dad's going to help me find a new fender and bumper cover, and going to teach me the ways of bondo for the rust spots I have.

Full chalkboard wagon with silver two tone. Coming to a Turkey Run near you.

I have a side story but it needs it's own thread.....on to the photos which is what you all want anyway!


Hotel Parking lot when I arrived. Darn! Wrong kind of Cougars at this hotel

I went downstairs and finished up prep on Purple Haze (to be covered in another thread) and headed back upstairs and Chris called. I hooked him up with a bucket and rag to wash off the love bugs and then he pulled his car up next to mine and I got some paint out for finishing touches which you saw pics of, lol.



next morning meeting up near the Holiday Inn for the cruise in.


ImpalaSSDude leading the drive in. He was on his way in his SS when the AC compressor blew up slicing lines and what not, good thing he had a back up wagon!!


Over the shoulder shot on the drive in


Wagons all lined up. The 'official' count was 16, but I counted 18 at the high point, including Bill Harper's (Navy Lifer) and Bob Borcher's which were parked away from the other wagons.


Same row from the other end. Aside from RH96SS Impala on the left, the rest are all wagons. We bested last years turn out of 10 wagons and actually had more wagons than sedans this year which REALLY surprised me.


Wicked Pro Street Impala and the only Vintage Impala in the show within the show.



Nick just kept taking pictures of these two. The girl with the legs to next week owns the red sedan. Normally, I don't like fire engine red, but I LOVED this B-Body. Tasteful and just awesome paint (she won best paint).


Sharp 96SS from ISSF awesome blown LSx motor. You should hear this thing. Instant woodgrain! lol



Someone tell me WTF this is please. It confused me, then I got distracted by something else and never figured out what it was.


this guy was cruising around on Sunday in his Nomad.


Won best muscle car in the whole show.


The Clampette's Fire Engine!


Future Car Model


Nice couple owned this one. They've done the Power Tour in it.




Absolutely Stupid. So Stupid I'm totally in love with it. I watched it drive out and was amazed how quiet it was.

Not a big fan of the bloated T-birds, but this thing was pure sexy muscle, tubbed with big old M/T drag radials in the back, Awesome finish work and the chop top was beauty.



Robert mentioned he wanted a gun site for a hood ornament....


Rat Rod golf cart! Sweeet!


Nick made an appearence as a special guest judge!!!



these guys were there last year and I still love these buckets




Awesome 76 Buick Clam Shell


Damn Seagulls!!!! All over my fresh paint


I should have looked closer at this car, it looked great. Anyone know who it belongs too?


The Model A club was out some 50 cars strong!


I was digging this 60s fast back with the caddy tail lenses.


Robert's Wagon in Scott's wheel.



Chris' wagon looking nice!!! Ray's wagon with the coolio hubcaps!


My Wagon in Scott's wheel. Click on photo for video.

Yes, yes you do.

As far as awesome pics go they are all great!Mike you have some serious competition as far as
great picture taking goes.I would love to see the chopped Tbird hit his brake lights at night just
to see what the polished surrounds would do with the red light in the center.
Sorry I Missed It
