I went to the Milwaukee Custom Auto show today to check it out.

Its really not what Im into all the chrome and mirrors,but its close to my house so I almost always go to it.

I picked up the two 1/18th. scale drag Mustangs today for a pretty decent price.

I got the "Dyno Don" **** Brannan and along with a "Hubert Platt" Tasca Ford car.

I saw a friend of mine there with his Pro-street Thunderbird also.

I have some pics of the show today for you guys to look at.

If I can share my pictures with you guys and you guys like them thats cool with me!

Gregaust,I only see the guy with the Thunderbird at this show and one other all year long.

His name is Stan and I have known him for over 20 years now.

Im not sure about the full artical thing,but when I see him at the other show he always is at with the car Ill get some more detailed shots and info.

What's up? Too bad I didn't run into you at the show. I went Saturday night. It was alright but I get sick of looking at "trailer queens" all night. Next year I want to bring the Torino (if it's done!). Did you go the The Great Lakes Dragaway booth and do the reaction time thing. It was pretty cool, I got a .505 and won a free fun racing pass, so I guess I'll find out what the Camo truck runs! My friend Ben (the kid with the green '69 Dart) got a .500 and won free admission for a year. All and all the show was all right. I tend to like the Solid Gold shows better just because most of the cars are driven there.
