Event Coverage 2008 street rod nationals from studenut48 (take 2)

I like 'em all. Some even more than others.

 

'preciate you taken the time to post all those picks..... but you got to realize billet is not real popular on this site.


Was the attendance down as bad as everyone thought it would be? Hear the final count?

 

Actually billet is not my favorite either! I was just giving a general prospective on the whole show. As far as the total cars, 10, 700+, so i guess the high price of gas, didn't stop most. As for the spectators, friday was not as crowded as usual, but saturday was crowded just like saturday usually is. Indoor vendors were just a little less than last year but it was not like the outside swap meet area. I say it was about 40-50% less than last year. I have been going to the nationals for 10 years now, i still have never bought anything in the vendors area. Way too high on stuff there, not like the Frog Follies in Evansville, in, where it is cheaper.

 

Super shots, thanks again for sharing all of them

 

We had been every time the Nationals has been Louisville (since '88 I think) and REALLY hated to miss for the first time this year. I've bought a couple of small things here and there but like you said prices are way too high. I shoot for HotRodHotline.com so i'm usually too busy to spend much time in the swap meet anyway. Yes, Frog Follies will be much better. Prices are starting to rise there but still affordable.

 

Too much billitt ...It's the Nats... I think ya done good I can't believe ya actualy got pics of my Frazer and Vance's 34 5 window...I hVE BEEN HERE FOR THE LAST TEN OR SO YEARS AND SEE NOTHING THAT WOULD KEEP ME AWAY....

 

Nice!

 

Now that's alot of hot and cold running pictures !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hope this wasn't the BG booth...

 

Lil' John..... is this yours??? I caught a pic of it last year while you guys were cruisin' the grounds but could never find where you parked. What the heck is it???

Last year.....

 

Nice variety and too bad for those who can't appreciate your efforts. Where's their pics?

 

Thanks for posting the pictures. I didn't want to brave the heat, thanks again.

 

Studenut48 thanks for sharing..Does'nt matter what cha got you always see something else you want!!

 

Cool Pics Studenut! Thanks for posting.

 

Glad you enjoyed them!

 

Thanks for the effort to post all the pics....something for everybody. Kinda interested in the vintage sprint car body

 

Nice pics.
Thanks

 

48 Frazer front clip. Pretty cool and inspiring actually.

 

that black 32 roadster with the polished american magnesiums looks sweet...amazing what a good looking set of wheels can do for a other wise belly ****on car....brandon

 

You mean ex-buddy don't you.

 

well, to be honest, i don't think my camera could've handle it or i would hav to stand far off to get a picture.

 

i would have taken pics except im in england,,i was just pointing out that this site is not about billit,,maybe i could have writen it better,,im sure everyone here knows what diversity of rods is at the nats and only wish to see pics of the trad style stuff that was in attendence,,they were still nice pics as i said and im sure a few of the pics i have posted in the past have slipped though the net,,bob

 

what's the rest of it made up of?

 

John's my brother and honestly the reason I'm into rodding. His Frazer has a hand made bed with a 40's era set of truck fenders and the interior of the bed is mostly S10. All in all, it's pretty col and will be REALLY cool whne he gets it in paint.

Vance

 

Here is a before and mid photo -





Vance

 

WOW!!!! That is very cool!!!!




I'm guessing the whole deal is on an S-10 frame.

 

Im not sure but I think you exceeded your allotted photobucket bandwith

 

Nope. It's the OG Frazer ch***is. I know he did have to modify the center cross member when he swapped out the two piece drive shaft and went with a one-piece unit.

And yeah, it's an attention *****, especially now that it's one color!

Vance

 

I can let go a few billet-y cars and a few Rat Rods, but your at least half your pics do not belong here...

...and I know you don't care.

 

Ok. I've had a bunch of people ask me when they see the pic from a year ago. Most guess it's a chevy cab with a _______ (several different ideas there) frontend but then they get to the bed and it has them scratching their head. It's great he had the vision to pull off something like that!!!!
It does look a bunch better all one color!!!

Thanks for the info.


Sorry for hi-jacking the thread.
