My favorite part of the show. Looking forward to another excellent group of cars. Well done!

Line up look great, looking forward to seeing everyone.

I look forward to seeing some of these amazing cars and taking some notes on them if and when possible.

Steve, you and your team were outstanding. Dave and I thought the judging process was fair and educational. Not often easy to combine. We learned a lot about our '67 Corvette and were excited by the Time Capsule award win.

For those who did not get a chance to see Steve and crew working this past weekend, I actually don't believe he stopped once... early mornings and late nights. Dave and I were setting up the car for judging at about 10pm Thursday evening. Steve and team had just stopped working a 12+ hour day. The inspection of the car (not including tabulation of score) is easily a 2-3 hour process per car.

Thanks for including us and can't wait to see next year's line up!

Regards,
Dan

Dan & Dave it was a pleasure having your car participate in Vintage Certification. You both represent the next generation of collectors/hobbyist and that is very rewarding to see. The time, effort, preparation and cost associated with shipping your car, is representative of both of yours passion.


Thanks for the kind words for the program and judges.


Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Thank you Steve.

Absolutely a pleasure and privilege to be apart of such a show. Now time to find the next one!

Happy Holidays,
Dave

Steve
Thanks for posting, it was a great weekend with outstanding cars. Thanks fir the invite in 2014 to join the Vintage Certification team. It’s been a great ride over the past six years with many more in the future.
I have no problem with spending 4-5 hours viewing and certifying these cars and meeting their owners.
