We actually made it to the Wavecrest Woody meet after all, and what a day it was. Dante Senese, the owner of the 1934 Ford Woody, that we have been working on for the last five years, had stayed up until 2:30 in the morning working on getting all of the last minute details taken care of, and then he was up at 4:00 in the morning to transport the car to Encinitas.
There were plenty of woodies on hand for the biggest woody meet of all, and our baby fit right in with the best of them.
All the hard work was worth it. The car generated a lot of interest, and it was a lot of fun talking with all the folks who came by to take a look.
One of the folks who came by to see us was Mr. Doug Carr of the Wood n' Carr restoration company, and one of the top woody guys around. He, and another judge awarded us the "Wood n' Carr" trophy for "Outstanding Woody" of 2010.
What a nice way to end the day, and not bad for the first time out with a car that had never been seen before.In the parlance of the surfer/woody enthusiast, we were really stoked! And, kind of excited too.
