We had a great time! I'm too tired to figure how to download these to my gallery so I hope you can get this link!

The link worked fine. Thanks for that. It helps a little to see the pictures or the meet.

Cool. There's some very interesting paint jobs.

As these cars get older, the paint jobs will get more and more interesting...

No rain?.... I must not be there .... The pics look great.

Thanks for those great shots.
I didn't plan on leaving from the Pagoda so I missed picking up my soap. I really want mine so I will have to pay for it.

Maybe I will run back in the AM tomorrow to get more of a SVX fix.

I love these cars.... and the people that drive them.

No rain but pretty cold.

Sean, can you ask the owner of this how exactly the finish of the black intake manifold was accomplished? (Ground smooth instead of the stock finish prior to painting or just painted, basically?) It looks mean and I'd like to try something similar.



Also, your car looks great. I know you spent a bunch of money on bodywork this last year or so, and I just want you to know that it really paid off. Looks great man. I'm diggin the gold wheels too.

Seth's black-on-red car (I'm assuming that's the one next to mike's) also looks great, especially from the back.

This was Tim's car, he told me that he smoothed the whole thing down with a Dremel, then did a rattle can paint job on it. Which was a surprise because it looks amazing. You would swear it was powder coated.

Thanks, last year was tough with the transmission failure, body repair and other mechanic issues. I'm glad I stuck with it as it is pretty solid now.

You should see it in person, the black is a sparkling metallic and the interior has all the wood grain redone in black with all the dash lights converted to red.


Also just a teaser, I was asked not to post any pictures of the engine bay of the SeaForm green SVX from Colorado yet. Lets just say it is no longer stock.

I should also say all the SVX were in great shape this year, no beaters in the bunch (except the 2 parts cars on trailers). The mileage ranged from 33K to several with over 200K.

The black manifold was ItsJustErics car. Thanks for the complement Sean+icing.

You are right, -sorry Eric! I'm terrible with names.

It think there were about 22 there on Saturday including the 2 on trailers. Plus 2 Baja's, a Tribecca, a Jag, a Miata and a Honda CRV Hybrid.
