Event Coverage Rodder's Journal... Coverage of an Excellent Show

Have I posted too many shots of the Walker Morrison roadster yet?

 

There's no way you could get too much of that roadster, Tom. If I haven't thanked you already, many thanks for all the great shots you've posted......................Don.

 

They are all great cars---how could you get tired of them?

 

Agreed, they ARE great cars, but some of the details have been repeated so many times that they've lost their impact: headlight bar treatment, patina'd paint, super deep chop -- most builders play a different tune from time to time, and it's refreshing. IMO the Bones could add a little variety to their work.

 

.........I keep wishing they would stop cutting off those beautiful '32 frame horns on front and back, but their mantra seems to be "less is more" or "if it ain't necessary, why keep it". Can't dispute the fact that they build some bad *** rides and continue to drive the wheels off of 'em, so that said, I say carry on.

 

Thanks for sharing great pics.......

 

It's a *****in' hot rod, I don't care how many are out there.

 

No!

 

Any idea who own's this stunning Ford and what body treatment it's had. It looks sectioned with the fenders moved up but struggling to believe it because of the trunk flow in relation to rear fender.
also what are those rear lights off?

Stunning photos Tom of some truely beautiful cars, thank you for posting.

 

Tailights are '41 Studebaker. I think you're right on the body mods. The hood is definately sectioned.

 

The car was originally built by Valley Custom. Here's a link to Rikster's website with some info.

Thankyou very much, it really is beautiful

 

**** Page in Tacoma is restoring the equally stunning Jimmy Summers '39 convert from the same era.

 

Here's a couple more, Nifty. Unfortunately, it was too close to the next cars for me to come in for a profile shot.

 

Well stated Tony.

 

Wow, did not know that was the Ralph Jilek Valley Custom. (Of course, there's a lot I don't know). Thanks for the link.

 

Take it with a grain of salt. He probably pulls a trailer himself when nobody's looking...

 

Nice shots! Thanks for taking the time and posting.

 

Why mess with success!

 

Great coverage Tom and some fantastic images in there! Thanks for taking the time and for sharing them with us.

 

To stretch and be more successful of course.

Thanks for the kind words, Travis. I enjoy looking at your show coverages as well. You have a good eye. I spent many years in your part of the world.

 

That '57 was parked right behind me. I was lusting after it all day. What a sweet car.

 

Simply wonderful shots, Tom!! Thanks for taking the time to chit-chat with me...I know it was a busy couple of days for you. The fruits of your labor are breathtaking!!!

 

Thanks Doug.
