      He built it in his shop. Should be a story and pictures on it shortly. It is a killer piece and pictures do not do it justice.

      I called a buddy of mine Ken Sarbo and conned him into coming to the YOE last week-end. He had the 62 Bubble Top Chevy with the 572..Green/Black..Paul Atkins Interior..He didn't get voted on either because he was parked in the paint company display. It is a supernice car built by Mike Bluett..It absolutely deserved to be in the finals..anyone see it?

      Oh yeah, I drooled over it. That is the same car you sent me pictures of several weeks ago to post up in a thread. I talked with Ken both at Year One and again at Milton's. That was one nice car. Did he pick that spot or was he placed there. When I first looked at the car, I thought he was displaying it for the paint folks too. I have a weekness for 62 BT so it was one I took several pictures of.

      They donated the paint for the build..he felt obligated to park it there when they asked him. He's feeling pretty dejected..he took it to the Super Chevy Show in Fla. a couple months ago..didn't get picked there either..lots of lesser cars picked over him. As he was loading the car, Super Chevy approached him to shoot the car. I had told him I wanted PHR to have the first refusal. He told them he couldn't let them shoot it as he had made another commitment..and why would they want to shoot it when it didn't even get in the top 10. They wrote a nasty blurb in a subsequent magazine about him getting his toys and going home because he didn't get a bunch of trophys. he's as nice a guy as I have ever met. He doesn't deserve that BS.

      That is funny, I barely read a word in SC but saw the negative comment about the 62 owner. I have to say I took their side until you just gave an explanation.


      Anybody who doesn't think cars shows are who you know rather than what you have are either blind or associated with the show.


      Your car (Cuda) is probably just too high dollar and well done that they do not want to loose the average guy as readers or participants. Either that or you car looks like SH-T in person? Only kidding, I would have to suspect it's the too well done deal.

      They are having a show at the local Dairy Barn, maybe you can place ther?

      I doubt it..the local guys all show up with their cronies..draw straws..and vote for the winner..I don't care unless the prize is money or food..I don't want the trophies..you will never find a nicer guy and more humble guy than Ken Sarbo..His builder, Mike Bluett quit building cars because his cars never got the respect that they deserved. Mike is a quiet, humble, guy that just doesn't get noticed. He didn't politic with the POWERS TO BE and he and his cars just got ignored. It finally wore him down and he didn't want to continue building cars..
      A real loss for car guys..he did some very innovative stuff. He's moved to Tennessee..not too far from Alloway..or Howell,, I'll miss him at the shows...

      There were about 30 or more judges..magazine people, celebrities, I don't know who all. Are you talking about the NSRA appreciation deal the week end of the Nocalula Falls Show? Alan should have the Cuda there..

      I always say that I judge my builds on how it is accepted or not by the real car guys. Those who come up and notice that small killer detail that took forever to accomplish.


      It drives my wife and buddies crazy but I always leave when the start the trophy deal. I just do not want to know if I won or lost. Honestly I just love building the cars and hate the judging deal. Great people to be met at athe shows but you can't take the judging seriously or it will drive you crazy.

      Bob, I drooled over that black/green bubble top. There are a couple pics of it in the link I posted at the beginning of this thread.

      I also thought it was a paint display car. They typically do not allow vendor cars to be in the show. My '69 didn't get voted on or judged last year because I was in the Year One booth.

      The judges are media guys, sponsoring vendor reps, previous YR1 cup winners, and various automotive professionals. Probably 30 people in all.

      The Year One Cup pays $5K in car parts as the prize. That's something to get riled over. I don't care what anyone says, every owner and builder wants their accomplishment appreciated and admired by their contemporaries. 99% of the people at car shows just don't have a clue as to what goes into a top quality build. One off custom pieces just don't get noticed by everyone. Lots of car guys that attend shows regularly look at the Cuda and think it would cost $150K to build.
