hmmmmmm... Is that the ONLY time that you'll let cars inside the convention center? or will you let the cars in Friday as well? Cause it'll suck butt if it's the only time to do it at... Did you talk to 86's John and Evo8's Kramer about this? Cause I hope they can make it on Thursday to put their cars in the show...

that will be the only time because were the car show is located in the dealers room and john and kramer are gonna be there on thursday during the day.

plus bro your car isn't even done yet is it?

Wow, a car show in the middle of an anime con, I picked the right con to go to!

As far as getting cars, have y'all thought about talking to the Volo Auto Museum? They bring a bunch of toys to the Chicago Auto Show every year, and to other events, and they do have some REALLY nice tuner cars. Like the cars from 2Fast 2Furious I bet they'd bring toys to Acen, free publicity for them!

Either way, I can't wait to see whatever is there (though I would really love to see those Skylines! I'd have to get a piccy of me draped over one just to make my ex-bf insanely jealous!)

Actually my brother in law has the car right now and while it was in perfect condition when he picked it up, my mother in law tells me that she is not pleased with the condition of the car right now. So I don't think it will be show ready by ACen

It looks better when you see it up close.... It only looks like that cause of my camera phone... I paid $530 for that paint job, but the "you get what you paid for" sure takes it effects... Now I'll have to touch up some of their "errors".... But it's sure hell of a good paint job...

As much as this very idea makes my head hurt, I can think of one thing to fix it.
Borrow a 2006 Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra GT-500 (blue if you can find one) from a dealership, and have the staffers responsible for this event cosplay Rally and Mae (Gunsmith Cats).
How to do it:
Were I in your shoes, I'd put together a brief set of a few slides from Gunsmith Cats featuring the Shelby Cobra and go speak to the dealership manager. Explain that you're assembling a car show at Anime Central (BRING NOTES ON OUR ATTENDANCE over the last five years), that there are usually more then ten thouand people in attendance most of whom are college students who might be looking for their first new car in the next few years. Show them photographs of the Cobra from Gunsmith Cats and say you'd like to feature a Shelby Cobra in your event.
I'd give you about a 30% chance of success with any particular dealership (some of them will be idiots). However, if you ask around enough you WILL find some dealer who will be interested. They very likely, of course, will want to send a rep or two because, well, that's how dealers are. If the car is being exposed then they will want their business card exposed as well so they're creating potential customers.

...I drive a 1966 Ford Mustang coupe. One of these years I'll prob ably paint it like theirs.

Too all car show participants just to let you know cars must be there Thursday May 10 2007 from 9am to ??? so we can get them into the dealers room. the earlier you get your car there the better this way i can get all your cars nice and detailed before friday.

also if you could all have your cars at least washed before they come in on thursday that would be great i'll take care of the rest.

if anyone needs to get a hold of me please PM me or email me at evilbuu24@aol.com

see you all at the show.

Stupid question here.... Since I'm coming from my work (with the still being built, ACen MK3 Supra) at the day of the con... is there any "do it yourself" car wash in the convention center area??? Cause I don't want the automated car wash messing up my car.... or... am I okay by just using that Meguiars quik detail spray thing???

Also... going Off Topic here..... when I was installing my one piece whale spoiler... and close my trunk... I ahhh cause a few scratches/nicks on my quarter panels cause of the sides of the spoiler... But when it's close, you can't see the "minor" damages since the spoiler is covering it up..... blah... I hope I can get that touch up paint from the Earl Scheib before the con hits.... So, what you think???

there's a manual car wash on the corner of lawerence and river rd. just south of the hotel/convention center so you can wash there and i'll take care of the rest.

as for the minor scratches/nicks on your quarter panel i'm bringin my buffer withme so i should be able to get them out.
