Event Coverage PHOTOS: Goodguys Pleasanton Ca. 2012

another fun filled weekend of HOT ROD overload out in Pleasanton California. there sure was a lot of people there Saturday, seemed like just a hand full Sunday by the time I got there at noonish.











Who doesn't love overdone T-Buckets?

 

really liked this 4 door ford with a boring small block Chevy....





yup, just another factory correct looking fuel injected Corvette motor. boring.

 

more damnit...please

 

more....





original paint and interior, same owner since the 60's, and an Oldsmobile motorfrom the 70's. VVVVV

 

Out-standing...Im reeeaaally starting to like 32 fordors. Gary

 

took a bunch of photos, towards the end as my battery got low they started coming out randomly shitty, so if some look funny that is why. some were dark, some were light. did a quicky adjustment so they were presentable.

the perfect Vicky...





photobucket is giving me grief most likely caused by my poor ATT internet. I am out at the end ot the road I guess, I have the slowest DSL possible. I'm going to see if beer will help. I may or may not be back

 

I was really suprised this year after having stayed away for a number of years. Lots and lots of good iron. But the Vette, Oh the Vette!



Thanks,

Tim

 

Thanks for the pics

 

Thanks for pics; quite a turnout of cars on Saturday. Best I can remember.

 

That LeSalle owned by Brian Nieri in the 4th picture is so awesome. I'd love to see it in person someday

great show,thanks for the pics

 

I went Friday. I saw about 40 or so really nice, more traditional style built hot rods, but i avoided taking to many pictures of those cars. I dont understand why a guy spends a bunch of dollars building a really nice car and then kills it by installing a 350, or a 350 dressed up to look like a 283. There is still plenty of early motors out there to build !!

Excellent coverage. Thanks for posting the pics.

 

I'm kind of thinking most people don't care whether some stranger on the internet likes thier motor or not.

 

AT&T sucks. for some reason my computer does not like Google or Photobucket. get's all slow the internet explorer shuts down. can't load any more. Comcast here I come

 

Nice stuff,
Thanks for posting them up!

 

Thanks for posting the pics Mr. 49ratfink. I only got one picture.... My 2 year old son with a Goodguys stamp on his hand and a big smile....

 

I like that 23" T. Kinda makes me wanna build something small like that, really get the feeling of a "GoKart" on steroids vibe!

 

Great pics, it was my first time at Pleasanton and we were lucky to have Andy Brizios 32 for Hot Rod Week and P-Town.

I really loved seeing that T roadster, Mike Smiths 32 four door and Pat Ganahls 32

 

That vette is the shit!

 

Lots of cool cars there. I especially like those with small block Chevy engines!

 

This show looks like it was a good time with some nice cars.Its nice to see a show about cars and not about "kulture". Thanks for posting.

 

anybody know the story on this one? old beater 32 with an Ardun. had a brass timing tag on the dash from the 70's. don't remember the speed or where it was.

 

a friend and I were discussing that as a nice unchopped full fendered Model A sedan drove by. he's a 55 chevy guy and doesn't do "kulture". sometimes i don't blame him.

 

The last time I was there the "Kulture" bunch was all corraled over in one corner.

Great photos 49ratfink, I like your choices for what to show us. Keep them coming even if Photobucket gives you fits like it gives me. I've found that you need the latest versions of Java and Adobe to help it work though.

 

Cool - Thanks - I have pics too on my thread: GG West Coast Naaationals-2012-Pics

 

HOT ROD pics go to page 5 while the thread on proper beach boys pendletons is on page one. nice.
