Hey Bob, that cool shoebox belongs to Robert Lomas... yes the Robert Lomas of black '34 fame....does all his own work, nice guy and really talented...here it is with Tom's roadster and my deuce....

 

We stopped and talked to this guy for a few minutes. His Grandma bought this for him while he was in Iraq. He told her to" just buy it!!!" All he did was ad the visor. It was so nice!!!!





Check out this interior!!!! Untouched!!!!

 

This guy just wouldn't except my offers!!!! So I had to settle for "throwing down" for the HAMB,and represent!!!(don't ask me what i'm signing...could be a gay gang,for all I know,hahaha)



BACK OFF *****!!!! IT'S A SIX!!!!!

 

just a little petina...

 

This '58 Chevy was really nice. Just needs the interior finished.

 

Maybe Chris can remember what this truck was...All the parts were there,to the body...

 

I bought a new grill for my son's Chevy. As we were walking back to the Coupe,I realized "how the **** are we gonna get the grill home?" So the McGiever in me took over,lol...This guy walked by and says "I wish I had a camera!" I handed him mine and he snapped a picture...

 

Check out these headlights I scored!!!! $30!!! They are off a 30 something French Marsant(think that's what he said). They bolted right up and they work!!!!! There's an A in the middle of the lenses. Can't wait to see what they look like at night...

 

Got these cool sill plates for $5...

 

looks like you guys had a good time...

I really dig the lights

 

Got these cool sill plates for $5...

 

I thought I saw that car before! He has great taste...

 

That's all I got...It was cold,a little wet,but I will definately go back!!!

 

I also picked up these cool airplane cable controls,off an old fighter plane. Think I will use it on my Merc for a choke cable.

 

All they had was a small polaroid of some kind of flat bed dual rear wheel truck delivery truck.

 

I think it said a 1925...

 

DUDE!!!! The headlights look AWESOME at night...

 

At least ya waited for me for jump off of the trailer before taking the picture.
I saw that guy at Pomona, he must be the Bizarro Ryan.

 

Do they shine off to the right?

 

No. They shine perfect! High-beams work too!!! They plugged right in the old wires thingy...

 

is this something their doing monthly? whats their schedule?

 

There were no fliers. Just a website to look for the next show.

Those look *****en........I got dibs on yer old lights !

 

Just tried it and it's blocked! Don't know what's up...

 

I still have them...Make me an offer! I don't know what they're worth though. Gonna have to research that,LOL...

 

I was gonna go, but would rather wait for the Big 3. I went last year and was small aswell. I did pick-up some deals. I scored the eluvise '60 Pontiac steering wheel (awesome condition!) for my car, which is a '60 Pontiac Ventura (they go for crazy money on that E*&$ site). And some tibbits for the '40 Mecury coupe I have too. I think it's worth checking if your local or in the area. I just happen to be in Riverside when they had it.

 

It's 23-25 Ford Model T C-cab pickup and TT truck body. Sold as a closed cab before the first steel Ford-bodied closed cabs were introduced on the TT ch***is only in 1925-17.

 

Those are 28-31 Model A Tudor sedan sill plates.

 

There was this red steering wheel there that was awesome! It was $25.
Looked like an Invicta,but had a ribbed horn ****on,about 3" long by 3/8" tall right in the middle. Would have looked great on a Custom! The same guy I bought the French headlights from,had it.

 

How big, diameter of lens, are those lights? Stainless or chromed br***?
I swear they are the same as the lights I bought from J.C.Whitney/Warshawsky's in the early 70s. I remember the odd A emblem and the fluting of the lenses plus they were bulb and reflector and "Made in France".
