Third Coast Nationals 1st Annual Show

[Bigredmariner]

On the Escalayed, he moved the PCM forward on the core support behind the grille. The fuse panel that is normally mounted on the left inner fender well has been relocated to the center console. The hood is one of a kind electrically actuated with 4 linear servo motors, limit switches and relays to make it all work automatically.

Oh and it has a ProCharger on it too, so it also goes. Not just show!

04 Esky with a 2010 front clip, made it to SEMA. Gator skin interior with enough bass to rattle your teeth. Gonna have a small repair on it in the morning, one of the nuts for the hood actuators rattled off and we couldn't find it.

I could do without the stereo and just blow the tires off of it, but it's a damn cool ride none the less.

Sounds like it's gonna be a great show.

How did the show turn out?

I just got back a few minutes ago, unfortunately not the large turnout that everyone expected. The place was dusty as hell too!

But I networked the shit out of things and have hopefully opened up some doors for some good things in the future. I am finding that just like any other business, this whole car show stuff is a matter of who you know. I like to think that I'm a pretty good people person when I want to be, hopefully things work out.

One exciting thing I have been approached with I should be able to officially give details on by the end of the week. I have to line up one more thing and it's a go, but until that is set I won't say what the deal is. I'm pretty stoked about it though.

The truck crowd is not used to using high dollar car care products, so this is tough to push. But I am going to stick with what I enjoy and that happens to be customized trucks.

I only have a few pics, but some friends took pictures and I will share the albums on my Facebook page for Adam's Polishes of Austin, tonight or tomorrow. I'm headed for the shower, I got to the show at 0730 this morning so it's been a long day.

This is key to any new business venture. Even if the turnout wasn't what everyone expecting, if you just got one good lead, then it was well worth the time and $ invested. That will pay dividends down the road.

That's awesome. I can't wait to hear about it when the time comes.

I'm actually surprised by this. For the amount of money some of those guys spend on custom paint jobs, it seems like they would take more interest in using quality products to keep it looking showroom clean. [/QUOTE]

Some pics from Truckin of the show, you might notice the front end of my truck and the Adam's bucket in the background.

Cool JRod!

Yes, it can make for long days. I make it to some of the shows by 8 and don't get home until 10 or so at night as well. What sucks for me is the hour and half drive each way.

Sounds like you are getting a good start!
