Unique Performancefest III

There's probably nothing better to do on a beautiful fall morning than peruse row after row of shiny cars. At least not if you're a car guy! So my Saturday out and about led me to the home of Unique Performance and their annual anniversary celebration known as Unique PerformanceFest. And, of course, I took a few pictures.

If you have a pulse and an interest in cars, you've probably seen these guys on The Discovery Channel. Chip Foose has made a mark on the custom car industry early on in life - and it looks like he'll continue to do so for quite a while. The guys at Unique Performance take first generation Mustangs and Camaros and retrofit modern suspension and drivetrain components. Think about it... What wouldn't be cooler than a '65 Mustang that drives like a 2006!

The highlight of my trip to this show each year is the tour of their shop and the chance to see the cars "in progress" as they proceed from worn out to ready to wear. Think Overhaulin' on steroids and you'll start to get an idea of the complete teardown and re-build the cars go through.

Mark your calendar for the second weekend of October to catch a glimpse of the rebirth of some classic cars.

A little rust never hurt anyone...
