I love the S205 look. Please tell me there is a 3S-GTE underneath there?!

Thank you Frank
I look back on some of my settings and scratch my head, it is a bit soft but I guess at 400mm f5.6 it probably is going to be. haha
Trying to get that background blur I guess.lol I remember I had to get back a ways to get it all in the frame.

Thanks Lex,
It was always planned but never completed, I went to a meet back east and drove a couple that did, defiantly gave me boost fever, but unfortunately financial problems forced me to sell it before it happened.

I feel you...I own '88 ST165 that I have been trying to swap a complete ST185 RC power-train into for the past millennia, but timing of other priorities never seem to be on my side.

Now where did I put those pictures...

Nikon D300 & rokinon 8mm - Chili cookout and car show held every year at a local park.

I feel like this has awesome potential...may be a little more centered in the frame, without the Mustang on the right, ground shadow and the baseball cap reflection in the chrome (last two are probably due to my OCD). Some of these can probably be fixed with some PS processing. But I know you gotta work with what you have at car shows.

Tnx for the feedback Lex. If I were staging this shot it would be a different story but you're right, I have to work with whats there. The ball cap is hiding the reflection off my head. The lens was probably only 10 to 12" (at the most) from the grill with the 8mm fisheye. The Mustang was where it was but the worst part was the hood being up. So many good shots were lost because of this. The cars were packed too tight on the field also. I have a friend who is into major restoration projects for owners and when I photograph these cars I take the time to clean up the shots.

Here's a shot of the innards of a custom job which is rare at these get togethers:
