All the Poorboys will be there - I'll be in the '33 Plymouth coupe I just traded for.

Don't forget we're hosting a pre-show party / BBQwith an area for camping out back - everyone's welcome!

 

33 Plymouth???

WTF?

You trade cars more than I change my underwear.

Rich

 

wait, Gator you didnt ditch the caddy did you?

 

The caddy was like four cars ago...

Rich

 

oh man... i gotta reach out and touch someone more often i guess

 

Leaving Saturday morning and have a hotel already.......driving my 34 Plymouth in my avatar..........about 125 miles from here. Counting the days because it is one of my favorites next to the Hotrod reunion in BLG. I have seen you down there before....I recognized the back of your head!!!! COOL

 

Haha - yeah Rich, you're right, I've got automotive ADD. I just traded the Shoebox for a 33 Plymouth coupe. Needs some updating but it's a solid driver.

Fiddy, if you're talking about the purple caddy, that was like EIGHT cars ago, not counting the 'new' Chevy Colorado or Hummer I drove for a while because the wife insisted I needed a 'nice' daily driver. I've got a beater 55 Chevy pickup for my daily driver now and couldn't be happier.

 

Who else is going????

It's like a mini VLV! Really.

Rich

 

I will be there as well as most of the Rod Kings. We are going to get there early as this show has just about out grown its venue. Its a great show!

 

Gearing up for the BBQ and Beatersville...............

 

Past two years in my 57 Chevy. This year my grandson Tyler and I will be in his 38 Chevy Pickup the "Hot Rotter".You can't miss this young gearhead
as he will have the biggest smile there !!!!!!

 

Btt

 

No current project car here but the Wife and I will be in attendance.
My Wife Jennifer A.K.A (Miss Jenna Veve) will be competing in the Miss Beatersville competition. A Link to some of her pictures can be found here.

Online voting for the contest will start soon, When it does I will post a link to the voting page. We are a military couple with me being stationed at Ft. Knox, KY. I am saving up for my next project now but as we speak I have to amuse myself with vintage tool restoration to fill my garage. Working on a mid 40's Atlas drill press soon.

Jenn is about the most supportive a woman could be when it comes to my hobby, She expressed an interest in competing in the contest so this is my way of giving back some of that support. We should be attending the hootenanny as well if The Army gives me enough time to do that LOL.

Also another plug (sorry) This Saturday the 14th is Rockabilly night at Third St. Dive for any other local Louisvillians, we will be there so if anyone wants to come hang out please do!

 

Will be there early morning driving in from Lexington,will be bringing 37 ford p/u "Suckerpunch" an also bring down my 62 Galaxie.Should have a vendor booth also come by an see us at Shelby's Speed & Kustom.

 

Hey the support is appreciated a LOT. Jenn says thanks as well. She said she would love to take a pic with you and your car as well. And as for me I always like to make new car friends. If you ever need any help with a project I would be more than happy to throw in a set of hands gratis, just because I love working on cars and helping folks out. (O.K. not completely gratis, beers on you)

Same goes out to any local Louisvillians!

 

Guys and Gals ,This has got to be the best show ever!!!!!! Been going to shows for over 30 years and this is the best I have ever seen !!!!!!

 

Hey I will repost this the Thursday before the show but as i live in Shepherdsville KY,
Anyone who wants my phone number in case they need help in a vehicular breakdown or emergency can send me a private message and I will give it to them.

If you break down in the louisville area I can respond with hand tools and a gas can if you need it.

 

Hey we were at the last reunion in Bowling Green too, I thought your car looked familiar.

 

I'm in. Probably be driving Rustzilla.

 

Oh I posted earlier about rockabilly night at Third Street Dive in Louisville.
BAD NEWS we found out that the owner of the bar Steve Gordon, passed away this morning. If any of you local Louisvillians are familiar with the place and the man it is a sad day for Louisville.

His was one of the only local bars in the Louisville area to consistently allow new local bands to play at his club, no matter the quality of their music. He was a great man who had an amazing sense of humor, a deep love for the offbeat community, and managed a place that was a lot of fun to hang out at.
According to their facebook page they may be planning a benefit show soon. If that happens, and whether you knew him or not, you should come out and lift a glass (or can) in his memory.

R.I.P. Gordo

 

I'll be there in my '40.

 

I'm in. Probably gonna be the first drive for my '39 Tudor (the car in my avatar)

 

Yes....and I cant wait for it either.....coming up on my favorite time of the year....Hotrods....pin up gals....and tire smoke....HAVE YOU EVER!!

 

If I get my 64 done, I will be there

 

I'll be there with the rest of the Swiss Car Club.

I'll be driving my 52 Dodge truck......THE PIG.....

 

You're a very lucky man!

Rich

 

THE PIG!!!! SWISS will be there! I'll be wheel'in the 56....need to leave earlier this year.

 

It will be the perfect maiden voyage (and not too far from home too incase something goes wrong).

Hope to see you guys there. Unfortunately I won't recognize most of you, but I'll know your cars
