Yup, I sent Brian a short video clip yesterday, articulating my enthusiasm that they positioned me in a great spot.....

Literally 1 booth away from the beer vendor.

The acceptance committee must know me well. Haha

I have 2 Mustang's parked on either side of me. A black one, and a grabber blue one.

The show has yet to officially start, however, we had a tick over 3,500 high school aged students here from various schools on field trips.

As soon as they all came down the aisle, they literally all were "ooooh'ing & aaaah'ing" at the SHO, & completely bypassed the Pony's.

LOL. Needless to say, those owner's were not all that pleased. 40min to go before doors open.

The crowds gathering are surprising given It's a Friday and most are (or should be you would think) be at work....... crazy.

Someone is very happy right now.  Im sure he will post later today.  He had a long weekend.

World of Wheels - Chicago 2018 was OUTSTANDING!!!

Well over 600 vehicles attended & competed in various classes.

I was placed within the "Conservative Hardtop" class.

Conservative one would ask. Right? Ha. That one left me puzzled to, until I began glancing around at all the other truly, truly outstanding vehicles positioned all around the show floor.

These fellow owners certainly brought their 'A' game and it was/is amazing to try and conceive the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in most of these high class vehicles.

Made me humble knowing despite how much I enjoy my SHO, and how much time, talent, and treasure I've poured into mine, that I am still just an amateur in comparison.

That said, I am still very grateful at having been allowed to exhibit. I met so many wonderful car enthusiasts and spectators alike from all walks, all ages, and all ethnicities. It's nice knowing we all share a commonality in our love for motor vehicles.

What a great experience!

I had to laugh because some of competitors commented at the awards ceremony on how they grew tired of hearing people talk about my SHO. More importantly while those very same spectators were checking out their cars! LOL.

So yes, I am happy. Happy for a multitude of reasons. I was graciously bestowed a FIRST PLACE plaque for the aforementioned class. Wow! First time exhibiting and I received that level of recognition.

Completely and pleasantly surprised.

Elated I was able to inform so many people about the SHO platform as well as representing the SHO family at such a ginormous event.

Here's a few pics......

Congratulations!!!  The logo even looks like a shield, fitting :)  Did you get any ideas for future mods?  Plan to continue participating in WoW?

Thanks fellas.

As far as ideas. Well....... I always have ideas. Just the wallet isn't as expansive as those very ideas are.

Undercarriage is a big deal it appears. That really requires a whole 'nother level of time, talent, and treasure.

Potentially lots of sanding, priming, painting and/or powder coating etc. and let's not forget the removal of parts, panels, etc. just to get to them. Then of course re-install.

I am proud to say that I was literally the only SHO at the show. Ha! So I had that going for me. LOL.

SHOdded

Never thought of the undercarriage as a big item, always audio, lighting, etc.  Interesting!  Time enough for making something happen before next year ;)
