Official Engine Building Contest Winners

[Don Garrett]

Jeff....let me help out a bit here with the prize thing so we can button this up.

donsrods1 will be getting a new 1/6th 20'' low rider bicycle kit (don't ask)....his mind lives in a very strange place, hee, hee.

I also have a "Liberty" factory built and painted 350 street engine...provided by Rick.

That's 2......your custom built engine is 3.
Rattle Dan's cage for the 4th prize....perhaps a gift certificate to the SMC store.
Let me know who to send the Liberty to...no postal change within the U.S.

As far as your custom engine goes...you can lay awake at nite or let me put the winners in a hat and draw one to get the engine you build.
BTW........Your built engine is the GRAND PRIZE, quit being so humble.

Aww shucks Don. I'm blushing. Fooey, we don't have a blushing smilie.

The middle of this week has been a bit busy for me with appointments so now things have slowed down a bit. Now that I know what we've got for prizes, I can figure out who should get what. Donsrod1 gets the exact prize he needs. He won that category because what he builds is so unique that it deserves recognition. He thinks way out of the box and reminds me of another Ed Roth when he did the Beatnik Bandit, the Mysterion and the Outlaw. If you give him an engine, a vacuum cleaner and a shopping cart, he can build a wild dragster that would win show competitions. That's a very good thing. I'll ask Dan about an SMC gift certificate and see if he'll go for that. From there, I know who gets what. I'll let you know by email and then I'll post the results.
