SCD Fabrication performed a 3-inch chop on this toy during the show. Even on the hot blacktop and in the scorching sun, the guys at SCD finished well within the hours of the show. | 
If you are building a ride and need ideas, come to the Ludikrs show. Who would have ever thought that maroon would look good with bright-green graphics? | 
Swift Car Club showed up in a big way and brought this very sweet fullsize. The clean front-end swap sets off this truck. |
It is always a good idea to have some water with you on a hot day, as well as not having to walk because there is a motor on your cooler-it's a win-win situation. | 
You are a lucky guy when your girl helps you wipe down your truck this early in the morning. | 
BTW brought out trucks that were not only huge, but the paint and undercarriage were second to none, showing what kind of truck you have to bring out just to even have a chance at a prize. |
When the sun is at its peak, these blue flames just pop right off the truck. | 
Aaron Iha has some cool designs, but this tandem-axle dualie takes the cake. | 
Gina's convertible is looking good. Guys aren't the only ones who have an eye for a great-looking ride. |
Check out Art from GO-EZ's '64 Datsun truck laid on 22-inch rims. Need we say more? | 
This show is so big that it brings out trucks we haven't seen in a couple of seasons. | 
Pam Rodriguez took top honors, and it is well deserved-she looks great in that bright-blue bikini. |
