I talked to your dad for a few minutes when I recognized the 40 from a thread somewhere. Problem is- I play on several websites & didn't put 2 & 2 together (The HAMB) until later. He was bragging about driving to the event........rightfully so!!!

Does he carry a brush in his pocket all day long? That's the most perfect trained beard I've ever seen!

 

Thanks for sharing your trip with your dad with us, lots of memories for you and dad for sure.

You met my hero Bad Bob! When I grow up I want to be just like him...

Man oh man i don't think you realize the "GIFT" you have given all of us by sharing this great road trip with your Dad. On behalf of all of us who no longer have our Dads around thank you for sharing all of this. I hope your Dad has a wonderful Father's Day and have a safe trip home... God bless you both...... Thanks....

 

Awesome thread.
Im really liking this, im sure ive seen it here before.

 

Great trip, thanks for posting this. A lot of us would like to make a trip like this in a car like yours with their dad.

 

Hey Guys!
Great thread! You won't believe it! I had the blue 59 Impala in swapmeet 4 Sale & saw you taking pics of your dad & car & thought! Look at the head of hair that guy has! I thought he was a Mountain Man In street clothes! Then I see it posted on the Hamb! Have a safe trip home & tks for all the hard work posting this cool trip! Ps Sold the Impala so had a good day! Tks! Bill @ Solo Speed Shop

 

you guys are having an awsome time, I saw you guys cruisin around the show. The car sounds great. Have a safe trip back home.

 

Awesome shots man,keep em coming. We had Vagabonds going in every direction this weekend, several made an appearance at BTT50s as well...........you gotta order one of the hats Louverdude had embroidered!

 

Cool that you got to meet BO. Amazing what he can do in B&W.

Sorry that it looks like you're just having a horrible awful painful time!!!

 

Steve- Bryce has been working with Don for over a year on these, they are real. Apparently there is a market for them. The heads are completely re-engineered for SBC and the valve covers are re-done. Don and Bryce were there setting up some samples.

This is just too cool. Id love to go on a long road trip in my car. Especially with an old timer with stories galore! I cant wait till I caravan out to California for all the shows. Nothin better than good ol' old fashioned fun on a american road trip. im very jealous!

 

Bitchin Thread, a trip of a lifetime, thanks for sharing.

 

Yes, Ardun heads made for SBC I know it sounds stupid, but Don says he has a waiting list for this stuff. Bryce re-engineered all the rocker assemblies, etc, etc. Bryce is now working on a bomb-proof QC for Don's streamliner, it's pretty insane, like nothing else out there.

 

You too Mike!

Cal Paul found us, he was laughing about my vide were I claimed to be smelling the ocean. He said what I was smelling wasn't the ocean, "you're smelling meth labs in San Bernardino"!

We laughed about that for awhile.

It was great to meet so many great HAMB'rz today!

A few final shots from today.

Ladies man...Ha

Happy Fathers day to your dad! Glad you guys had so much fun at the show. Safe trip back to Colorado! And thanks again for the amazing thread!!!

 

Good times...Thanks for the pics.

 

Thanks for posting your Father/son trip from Colorado!!
Following your well done thread, reminds me of when we went thru Colorado in 1972 driving our '32 roadster to the NATS in Detroit, Mich.---The roads then were NOT the highways of TODAY!!---5000 miles round trip & fun times, weather & all!!
It was an adventure of my lifetime & many memories for sure!
Glad you & dad are enjoying your "bucket list" trip to the LAR show & swap,have a neat trip back & a safe one too!!!-----Did you get a headlight sticker?-----Don

 

What a fantastic trip! Thanks for letting us ride along. Oh, I believe that red car is a Toyota 2000GT

 

awesome thread, thanks for sharing and drive safe on your return trip to CO!!

 

Killer thread boys....keep em comin !!
