I don't know if I can say anyone should feel they came last.
While there might not have been enough votes to indicate after top 3 we could use for other worthy builders, each of the builds has it's own character and value.
Aspects such as the ladies joining their husbands in building their own visions , father and son builds, fathers building for their daughters, others for family members including the 4 legged ones.
Themes developing using classic custom paint ideas, very rat rod examples, people machining parts most of us could only imagine building, people trying their first builds, others inspired from previous years going that step further this year. Builders in many continents and cultures all bringing their own examples of bikes and parts we may not see as often.
As a non builder, I know even seeing the threads and pictures as they were posted, there are some aspects and achievements I missed appreciating - however the experienced builders did not.
It has inspired me to buy a gas torch and start accumulating parts
The atmosphere and attitude during this competition has been outstanding as well.
I can only express my own congratulations to all who finished and to those that started and life and family needs had to take first place. I am sure that there will be builds finished before next year that will be well worth the wait.
