Chip Foose! I still cant believe it!

The weekend of June 2-3, I was lucky enough to attend a car show.  But no ordinary car show.  This one was hosted at Downtown Disney by The Muscle Car Network of Central Florida and Disney.  What made this even more special was that Chip Foose would be there to sign autographs, take pictures and be a celebrity judge!

Cars had to be in place early, so we had to be there at 6:30 am both Saturday and Sunday mornings.  The show ran until 6pm.  I had an awesome spot assigned to me in front of the AMC Theater on the streets of Downtown Disney.




Peyton was just as excited as I was and she got to meet Chip first!  She happened to be in the right place at the right time. 










And later that day, it was my turn!












That afternoon, it was time for judging.  Here's a shot of Chip Foose and Jay Ward from Pixar taking a look at my car. I did not win any awards, but thats because there were some very fine cars in the show.  The cars that got awards were very deserving.








Saturday night there was a dinner we could attend with Chip, and I could not miss it. What a guy!  I brought a shirt I bought years ago for Peyton. Now it fits Paul, and Chip drew a roadster on it!






















I also brought a couple photograph mats, so that I could have a picture of Chip, myself and my car framed.  One for me, one for Dad.  That picture is on order, and I should have it soon!
