Art & Inspiration AVATAR CURIOSITIES

Hey Don @poco ,

You just click on the person icon, then AVATAR, then you can upload a new pic.

 

So you're a pussy ?

 

I'm thinking Hank is now a Hunk?

 

I never change mine, here or elsewhere. Shows what a lazy slug I am

 

Decided to change mine to some Family photos for a while. Our Son when he was 4 standing by our 53 Dodge after an installed a 60’ Chrysler 361”. Used everything I could including the hub caps. I built the camper shell.

 

My son chopping up our coupe.

 

Mine is a picture of my son’s tongue in cheek poke at the 2016 elections. He made a bunch of old school pins and handed them around work. It’s handy that we have the same last name…

Mine is the hood badge from my 47 Ford when I first got it. Maybe I should update it because the hood looks nothing like it does now.

 

Mine...

Our group waiting in the morning air at the Hot Rod Hundred a few years ago. It is perhaps my favorite current car culture photo, as it shows us all together, some with our sons along for the day, just doing car stuff.

 

I thought that is what that was…I was there.

 

Did you get a chocolate chip cookie? My wife always makes a big batch of them for us... they become breakfast. At the point of that photo, some of the CrossMembers had found them as well, but I can't remember if you were in the group. If not, look us up next time!

 

My long gone 51 at Wallowa Lake in Joseph Oregon, a run we went to for 23 years with 3 different cars. Beautiful place, nice drive. Now that my 56 F-100 is done I should change my avatar, but the picture reminds me of what a dumb ass I was to sell that car. 28,000 mile original with no power train when I bought it. 350/400, A/C, 12 bolt, etc. etc. later, great cruiser. My ass is finally healed from all the self kicking I’ve done since.

 

My avatar is a color pic of my merc from 1956.

 

Mine is pretty self explanatory. It’s the Fly about 10 years ago at the Hamb Drags. Jim Marlett was taking pics. Jim is a ruler.

 

Mine is one of my family 2500 mile road trip to a-bombers Sweden from uk photos going across the Denmark bridge.my 60 lincoln,eldest daughters 56 Chevy truck and youngest daughters 28 model a roadster.

 

Now thats funny.

 

Me pulling an early Ford front axle apart for the spindles, with my '35 Chev Standard 2-door in the background c. 1969. That pair of spindles is now on my roadster. And that's the only chevy that I ever owned... or wanted to.

 

Mine is the best deal I've ever gotten in my life. '62 Fender Esquire that was headed for a burn pile! saved by a buddy & sold to me for $50. With the original case & Princeton amp. Look it up. Currently value is about $25K. The Esquire is basically a Telecaster with one pickup. Hmm... 1pickup.

 

Story of my life...

 

Mine is my 48 Plymouth coupe. The picture was taken on May 28, 2016. We are nearly at the summit of the Rocky Mountain National Park the day after they opened the pass on the National Park's 200th birthday year. We stopped at the last pull over about a mile from the top Visitor Center, and I was trying to figure out how I was going to get the picture when some guy offered to take a couple for us. That is my wife and I pictured. The coupe is about 1300 miles from home here, and was on a 2800 mile trip.

We still have the car but it was updated in 2018. We changed the colors then.

This picture brings up a fond memory of us and the coupe. I'm not sure I'm ready to change it.

 

I always thought that was clouds or mountain tops in the distance. I never realized it was a snow bank. Very cool!

Edit: or maybe it is mountains... either way, very cool to take your hotrod up there.

 

think I'm gonna change mine to my other car, cuz only way I can show it on here!

 

Mine is fairly self-explanatory. Before I ever found cars or guitars, I discovered hockey. My neighbors across the street from me growing up had NY Rangers season tickets, and I got introduced to the sport and the Rangers as a kid in 1992. It was a good time to be a fan, and by 1994 they had won their first Stanley Cup in 54 years. Though I'm a die-hard NYR fan, more than anything, I love the game and follow the sport closely.

I learned to skate and play as a kid but never really pursued it and transitioned to other pursuits in high school. Then I picked the sport back up in law school and have been playing beer league since then. Now my 5 year old plays, too. Mainly it's just fun to get out with my buds, have a good skate and good sweat, crack a couple cold ones after the game and generally try not to get injured.

 

A 1957 Cadillac 6237 hard top coup, I've wanted one of these since 1957. (one more payment and she's all mine)

 

Cookies?!?! I will be looking for you this year! Pretty sure I wasn’t one of the ones that have found those before.

 

Mine is a detail out of a concept drawing I did of a stretched '27 T "Torpedo", inspired by a much bigger 1928/9 body by Jarvis on a Rolls-Royce Phantom:

 

I am registered, but I'm not sure yet what I am bringing. My car is still very apart, so I may just ride along with one of the fellas.

The cookies will definitely be making the event.

 

Very cool.
Road trip to A-Bombers from UK is certainly an undertaking. Only time I've been to A-Bombers back in 2007 I flew, but there were a few that had driven over including Doug&Sarah Bradley in her Model A roadster.
Also nice to see another Berks UK Hambr as well
