It looks like slim pickins this year. Bring back the Foose and Trepanier years!!

 

Well the blue 34coupe with blown hemi is from the NW and I am proud of my buddy Kustombuick and his co workers at Byers Customs for laying down some beautiful paint. and to their next door neighbors and my friends at Hot Rod Enterprise for building the car. sure it may not be HAMB material but it looks like a hot rod..

 

Definitely!

I do hope Steve Frisbee’s Dodge Pickup or that Blue Hemi powered 3w wins. The others are ehh!!

 

The Packard is a sleek machine. My choice from here.

 

Hey folks, I will be posting early next week. But most of my shots are, how should I say it...ba*****t material. Killer show. Till I get back jersey side. Slim

 

They all ****, but if I had to pick one on looks alone, it would be the black and green 34 3 window, but the wheels ****!!!!!!! The 37 Chevy is cool, those wheels **** too. The Packard is painted the right color, **** brown, what an ugly turd. Dean

 

I agree,the green and black 34 would be my pick.
Some peoples taste buds are definately not on the top of their tongue

 

The hood lf the "Packard" too wide- like they tried to throw a bathub Packard hood of the 40's onto a '34.

 

I'm with you here, too, Boones. I heard through the g****vine that my friend who works at Hot Rod Fab. is super stoked on making the Great 8. He worked his *** off on that blue coupe.

None of them are my cup of 90 wt., but at least IT has multiple carbs, and an exposed engine.

 

That silver Deuce= Barf-o-rama! The coolest one may be the 37 chevy, but that aint sayin' much.

 

34 Ford 3 W..would be my pic

 

Looks like a HOT WHEELS (tm) design contest.
Not my cup of pee

 

Oh my,makes you wonder what the cars that didn't make the cut looked like. The blue '34 would be my pick, the green and black one could use a wheel and tire change.

 

Doesn't any one use white walls anymore? Looks to me like they all belong in the Boyd's Pro Pick arena...R.I.P..Time Bomb John

 

I'm in for the Dodge PU nice ride... My favorite was the 50 Merc hard top convert from Canada ..killer ride... that and the 50 Tin woodie...

Okay, the show cars **** - we knew that. So wheres a pic of the Hiltons' Lynwood/Bantam Compe***ion Coupe! Comeon guys, pony up here.

 

Yeah, the Packard is 'effin awesome....

 

My pick isn't on the Great 8 list. It was in the Ba*****t loading in series. The 48 Buick with one gold grille bar. Those guys are rollin' DETROIT Style!
