Be prepared to answer lots of questions about the Kat, especially if your area doesn't have many Prowlers. Having been in several shows, the best advice is just to have fun! |

RELAX and enjoy meeting other car owners and the public. One thing I have found is that no one is as critical of my car as I am. If you are pretty happy with your Kat's appearance, then I'm sure others will be REALLY impressed. This message has been edited by Bob Miller on 11-03-2005 at 12:18 PM |

If you are entering in serious hopes of snagging a Throphy then the more detailed the car the better. When its show ready you would be hard pressed to find a speck of dust anywhere on our Kat. I even polish the brass fittings where the brake line attach to the calipers. But then I am Anal. Even though our Kat is kept spotless at all times, I still spend hours, before every show detailing every inch of it. With that said the advice to have fun is an excellent one. You will be answering a lot of questions and meet many great folks. You may also hear some negative comments. Don't pay any attention to them. Classes we have entered vary from Special Interest , 1995 to Present or Modern Mopar etc |

I have entered mine into several shows and I find if you go under Hot rods or Street rods those who are there get all bent out of shape "cause you really are not a "Hot Rod" in their opinion. So I have found I can get close to a trophy by going under the "Custom" class. I do have several things done to the prowler and it is no longer stock so it works for me. Good Luck.. ------------------ |

Hood up, top down. Open trunk lid, only when you want too show how big your trunk is. |

This may not work for everyone, but it's the approach we choose to use: Face it, the Prowler is a new car, or at least an 8 year old car. As such, we've found it easier on everyone if we don't compete (for a trophy or any prize). We'd rather show up, pay the entry fee, support the show (especially if it's a charity fund raiser), buy a lot of 50/50 tickets & give them to the car owner's next to us, and leave it at that. We don't need a trophy to enjoy the car. We use our home PC to print out the following sign: "In the spirit of fair play, the owners of this vehicle wish this vehicle not to be judged or classified. We are here soley to support this worthwhile event and communicate with all who appreciate this Communiy's love for all things automotive." Have it laminated & stick it under the windshield wiper whenever you show. Like I said, it may not work for many, but fellow gearheads will understand.

I somewhat disagree with that approach, This year, at the Jerry Lewis Telethon, we had 8 prowler there, out of about 416 classics, etc....the event was of course a great event to collect money for Jerry's kids, which we did, but the neat thing was the children and young adults, in wheel chairs, etc., were the ones who helped select the winners, and , I am telling you they loved getting in the cars, taking pictures, etc.....I am sure next year will even better.............Jack |

Richard: For the show, take the couch out, they tend to get nervous with all the extra's. Seriously, the more detailing the better, including wiping down the inside of all tires with dressing. Been in 3 shows and somehow nabbed 2 first place for " BestMopar Post 1982". Going to Don Garlits Annual Mopar show Nov. 5 & 6 in S. Ocala, Fl. Best of luck and ENJOY!!!!!!!! Blew Buyou said it!! |

Pics from Lawton, Oklahoma car show. From left; Zack, Richard (rraite) and Dave (dj4hire). It was great getting together with fellow Prowler owners in the state. Dave's highly modified '02 Candy took 2nd place in the show. Richard's 99 mostly stock '99 Purple looked great too! I didn't make it there in time for the show, but it was a nice day for a drive and a great reason to finally get to meet our new friends from Lawton! Hope to see you again soon. |
