Syracuse 2012 - a few photos and some comment
After one of the folks here 'reminded' me that the Right Coast Nationals at Syracuse were this weekend along with a cruise in that I went to last night, got up at O dark thirty and wandered 150 miles out to that show. Since it is (was?) Friday, some of the cars hadn't shown, of course but the crowd was at least manageable. Tomorrow will be belly to butt people and a bunch more cars (saw quite a few headed that way on I-90 on the way home) - probably only 5-6000 there now.
Couple of comments - lots of the cars there now, but, and only my opinion, way too many '60s to '80s. Many were very nicely done, not my 'bag' but many - refugees from the crusher. Sloppy. Next - I didn't see much innovation or too many 'OMG, holy cow, phew' cars as I had in the past - maybe they are going to be there tomorrow. The Street Rods, the 1949 and older cars - many less then previous years though I did miss last year's show. Seems to be the trend with NSRA having to do their rolling years.
Here are a few photos. The Factory 5 exhibit has one of our members car there - Arrowhead. He said he was called on Tuesday, they made him an 'offer' - recall possibly that his car was on tour with them last fall.
Enjoy (but don't ask many questions as I probably wont be able to answer anything much about the cars):

I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
