Body by Marcel, design by Rick Dore

I thought I'd posted about it, but it seems I haven't yet, so, here's the Petty Superbird tribute by Smithfield Foods give away car from 2017 SEMA that Mike came across. I never did see it. It's that easy to miss a car at SEMA

To pay tribute to Richard Petty’s accomplishments, and celebrate the long line of Mopars that helped carry him to greatness, Smithfield Foods commissioned Petty’s Garage to build a retro-themed, Hemi-powered Pro Touring Superbird from a donor project that had been dissassembled and forgotten for 15 years. There was so much rust, and so much work, there's no mystery why they gave up on blowing a fortune to make it right.

you can check out the entire build at http://www.hotrod.com/articles/smithfield-giving-away-superbird-clone-build-part-1/

The guy who won, Verl McCown, only entered once. His nephew was there for the event though.

The nationwide sweepstakes was advertised in Hot Rod and other magazines

He received it in March 2018 and lives in Portland, so the 1st car show he brought it to was the Portland Roadster Show. https://www.facebook.com/IWonTheKingsCar/photos/a.1999344673668884/2115235518746465/?type=3 It won Best In Class.

I've posted Reactor before, but Mike got a better view inside to show the steering

Mike got a really good shot of the steering wheel, which is only possible when you can get a look in through the passenger side, not possible at the GNRS due to ropes

previous post gallery was the 2017 Grand National Roadster Show http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2017/01/gene-winfields-reactor-car-that-was-in.html

I knew they had impeccable leather goods because they brought their Airstream to SEMA

Some people use what's available, and some, the inventors, improve or design far better versions. Here is the genius next step in dust masks, and I bet everyone of us sees how obvious it is that these are far superior to the originals by simply sealing to our faces

The only reason we use filter masks is to keep crud from getting into our mouth, nose, and lungs, so why use anything that can't seal to your face?

Whether welding, spraying paint, or whatever your job is - that has something you sure as hell don't want to breath in, or some environmental airborne particles that you want to avoid breathing in, like pollens, ash from wildfires, molds after floods, drywall dust, or fiberglass from attics, I know that the best you can do is to eliminate the chances and risks of that stuff getting past your face filter.

So look at the medical grade silicone seal around the mask that conforms to your face, around your nose, chin, and cheeks.

A coarse filter, a particulate filter, and other stuff like the valve that keeps you cool while reducing moisture inside the mask. This uniquely layered protection reduces over 99.9% of BFE and PFE at 0.1 micron.

Proper fit of the rigid or soft collapsible dust mask is easy with the elastic 4-point ear loop strap. Fit it over your ears, and then move the clear silicone tension adjustment until the patented 360° medical grade silicone seal seats around your nose, cheeks and chin.
