Boy that maroon GT on the right side of the page, with the Webasto roof, suuuuuuuuure is a nice car. Whose is it?
David

Ditto the comment regarding the maroon car's engine bay, it's beautiful, but I got to say that the blue 3.1 GT looks awfully nice as well. Is it Dann Wade's Killer B?

Wow! Lots of nice cars. I wish I could have made out. Oh well, maybe next year. Any word on where/when next years event will be?

But then again I'm prejudiced

Gary, That was my car. I sold it to Mike Maloney. We share the car at different events. I sold it to raise funds for the Killer B MKII. This is a retro RB to CB speedster type roadster that has been de-seemed and will be slammed. The windshield is chopped 2". I wanted to take it to the show but the lousy en route weather stopped me. It has no top. Should be a show piece when all done. Of course it will have the usual 3400 220 HP V6 with Tremac 5 speed. It's posted on the website if I can ever get it up and running.

Gorgeous cars - I wish I could've been there! And what a wonderful service it was to post the photos. THANK YOU!

Now for nit-picky comments: As I viewed these photos I was reminded of how so many people seem to neglect the area of radiator and fan mounting. Improving these is cheaper and more elegant than buying fancy oversize radiators. Seals between the top of the radiator and the hood force air through the core - instead of allowing it to go over the top. (MGB's came with such a seal, although MG left big air passages other places in the radiator mounting.) And why bother installing fans without benefit of "fan rings" or low clearance shrouds? Fans are sooooo much more efficient when they aren't spinning in mid-air! Shrouds on modern cars aren't just for saving fingers - they dramatically improve cooling system efficiency.

To be fair, the yellow car shown at far right deserves credit for throwing away MG's awful radiator mounting brackets and replacing them with an especially nice home-made bracket - from the photo it looks like the bar across its top may add rigidity to the overall front-end by acting as a Monte Carlo bar. Cool!

These are some NICE cars!

Very nice cars indeed.
If everything goes well this year, I may be driving one of my cars from California to where ever the next meet will be held.
I would like to meet all of you.

Great event!
