Truckers,
   Well, all the "hard" work was done and it was time to see how my '48 3100 
deluxe would do in its first car show.  On the 4th, I entered the antique 
class at a local show with over 90 cars and trucks. There was some pretty 
nice stuff in that class, and in most classes in general.
   As the day went on, I was feeling pretty darn good about the truck.  Lots 
of people admired the old girl, especially the paint.  It shined like a new 
dollar, and the chrome was looking good.  When trophy time came around, the 
antique class was announced first.  Third place came and went and second did 
the same thing.  When they called my name as first in class, I was thrilled 
to say the least.  
   I was sharing a shade awning with a couple of guys with nice street rods, 
so I stayed around to see how they did.  One got second, the other a third.  
We were all comparing trophies when they called my name for best of show!  
Not too shabby, first time out and we came home with two trophies.  On top of 
that, best of show prize was $50 cash!  
   Check out the updated photos at http://chevytrucks.org/wayne/mklepp.jpg.   
there is also an interior and engine shot.  This message is mainly for those 
of you who still have a truck in a thousand pieces and wonder if the end will 
ever come.  Mine was apart for almost two years.  Keep working and don't be 
discouraged by slow progress.  You'll get there.
