Thanks Jeff and Brian. I am looking forward to your reports! :)

Can any of the SS members who attended the convention and assisted with the judging/presentation post up some more pics and info for the rest of us? I am dying to see some more pics of the competition. Thanks!

Here's a pic of Lamar's truck from DD. Hopefully we'll get the full scoop once the judges make it home safe and log on.

We have a winner! I will get one of the guys who was there give us all of the details. In the meantime, here are some pics snapped by David Doyle of the judging crew and the winner, Lamar, un-crating his trophy. A big thank you goes out to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen!! :beer:

LOL, good thought Brian! I can't wait to see who wins too!

Well, it was down to the wire, but the trophy and the judging sheet have been finished for the SteelSoldiers.com Excellence in M-Series Award. A huge thanks goes out to Brian 54reo who put the trophy together with his Dad in record time! I think it looks fantastic. I finished the...

How about this? Vehicle Use: - Daily Driver/Work Truck: 3 points - Weekend Cruiser: 2 points - Shows Only: 1 point How Vehicle Arrived at MVPA Convention: - Driven 500+ Miles: 5 points - Driven 250-499 Miles: 4 points - Driven 100-249 Miles: 3 points - Driven 50-99 Miles: 2 points - Driven...

Update time. Thank you everyone for all of your suggestions. Things have been going on behind the scenes so don't worry. I was out of the country last week, but one of our members was working tirelessly on the trophy. Let me just say that you all are going to be very impressed! I won't give...

Michael, That's a good idea and would make a great secondary award for this year. We could give the winner a gift certificate to one of the parts vendors or something. I would still like to do something live and in person for this convention as well.

I received an email from a member with a good suggestion. He said that there are usually convoys to the convention from different parts of the country and that we should consider awarding the trophy to the group with the longest (miles, not feet) convoy. Long convoys are a SS tradition so it...

That's what I was talking about. I could care less how far someone trailers their MV to an event. Please don't assume I am only considering the longest drive award now. Keep brainstorming folks.

So, after perusing the above awards, I can find none for the Longest Distance Traveled. It should be pretty easy to add a supplementary form to the MVPA's vehicle check-in where the owner would write down how far they drove their vehicle to the show.

I used to think and preach the exact same thing. but I believe the current board and editor of Supply Line will have a positive influence on the group as a whole. David Welch knows that the MVPA has dropped the ball on the M-series vehicles and the online forums, but he and others like David...

Please allow me reiterate that this is our award and David Welch made it very clear that we are to select the vehicle based on what our members like. We do not have choose a vehicle that is a full 100-point resto truck because we think that is what the MVPA members want. Keep the ideas coming.

We have had several volunteers for the trophy fabrication so we have that covered. Please keep submitting ideas for the trophy and for voting criteria!

Great thoughts and ideas everyone! Keep them coming!! I like the idea of online voting, but I am not sure of the feasibility, meaning I am not sure how far in advance we could get the photos and how long we would have to vote on them. Let's keep brainstorming.

Hello Members! SS is working on a new era of cooperation with the MVPA in order to further the efforts of both of our groups. In that theme, David Welch, the MVPA President, has offered us the opportunity to present a SS award to the vehicle of our choosing at this year's MVPA Convention in...
