Pistons and Paint. My take. 100+ pictures

As many of you know this was my first show and trip of any kind in my new car. We thrashed on her for 2 weeks so we could make the trip. She did pretty well. We did 60-65 mph all the way to Denton. I had to take a picture of the speedo because nobody would have believed that the old worn out 6 would push the car that fast!







Proudly showing off my HAMB Alliance Member tag and my shirt!



We arrived at the fair grounds about 11am anf it was already packed.
There were tons of great cars. The bands were rockin' and everybody was nice. It was time to crack a beer and get to taking some pictures!
This band was awsome. I can't remember their name though.


The coveted Bass award went to this little "T". It was crazy. Small body, no floors and a blown small block with 8 working carbs. Thatsa right 8! And all pumping fuel for a whopping 4 MPG. Crazy!



My pick for best of show was this nice little mild custom 50 Mercury. It was perfect. I would not change a thing.

 

Going home! sunday morning. Same clothes and smelling of beer and exhaust fumes.

By the way if anyone didn't go to Dans Silverleaf on Saturday night. You missed one hell of a show. Deke Dickerson was awsome!!!

Does anyone get any pictures of all of the cars lined up outside of the bar?

 

Thanks for posting the great pictures. We saw ya'll at the Deke show sitting at the table. I didn't know who you were though. I should have said hey.

Congrats on all the work you did in getting the car out to the show!

 

Yeah man you should have stopped by. I would have bought you a beer!

 

Excellent coverage - man.
Thanks

 

The best coverage yet, glad to see your car come rolling in

We spoke briefly by my son's '52. (1st trip in it too - five nervous hours down, five laid back hours home) Thanks for the coverage - very good.

NP -
Wow... praise from Denise AND Negative Matt. Poor Matt worked the gate all day and only saw cars entering or leaving. And, as the handle implies, he can be a little picky. But you earned his gratitude ... and Denise's ... and mine. Great coverage -- and you saved the best photo for last. That's a memory-maker.
