Serving Car Buffs of Maine & New Hampshire
WELCOME!
As the 2009 season kicks in, HotKarz has begun posting galleries of the shows, and the winners circle. We have also added a Best Of the Best section, where visitors can vote for their favorite winners. Check 'em out! A new gallery of winners will appear with each show that HotKarz attends. At the end of the season, the votes will be counted and BEST OF THE BEST trophies awarded to the winners.
We also have begun adding new "Funnies", so watch out, folks. Our camera does not discriminate - if you get caught in a situation that could become a comedy slot, you may find yourself featured in the funny pages.
The list of shows & cruises for 2009 is up. If you know of any show or cruise that is not yet listed, please let me know.
A request for help from Patrick Flynn: "I am located in Bath, Maine and am looking for someone who does quality powder-coating. If you know anyone who can vouch for a place that does quality work at a reasonable price, please contact me. I would greatly appreciate it."
Larry Cote was kind enough to submit pix of his Impala "rebuild", adding a turbo, new engine & differential.
Here is a page for Chevy fans - This collection belongs to Dennis Albaugh in Ankeny, Iowa, just north of Des Moines. The personal & private collection consists of 110 + Chevrolet convertibles all years from 1912 to 1975 & Corvette convertibles from 1953 to 1975. That is a Chevy convertible from every year of manufacture EXCEPT 1939... ! - the reason? - Chevy didn't make a convertible in '39 -- and ended its convertible line in '75 !
We currently have a few project pages up, so you can see what others are doing - and how they are doing it.
Most stories and updates appear on the HotKarz blog. This home page would provide "hot topic" updates and general info. And specific info is found using the menu to the left. I only mention this because one gentleman who visits regularly was not aware of the blog, which is the most 2nd most popular part of HotKarz (the first being the calendar/events pages).
We do need your help. Obviously, we cannot attend all the shows/cruises throughout northern New England. So, we very much would like to get your input. Send pictures, stories, articles or tell us of a show/cruise or event that we have missed. And if you know of any show, cruise or event schedules and info not yet posted, please pass it on by emailing me directly at ptwoodycrew@aol.com.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: HotKarz.com has finished "The Complete Car Show", a book on organizing, planning, judging and winning a car show. This book is available to all in a PDF file at no cost. Check out the book, and its contents here. This book was created with the assistance of organizers, promoters, judges and car organizations from across the country. It makes the organizing of a great show a lot easier, and more profitable. Please note: this ebook is free only to Maine and New Hampshire car organizers, judges and car buffs - just email me directly at ptwoodycrew@aol.com and put CAR SHOW BOOK in the subject line. Everyone else must pay for it.
