Trailered cars can be good too? BTT50's fun = DANGER DANGER friends & 3 field coupes

Well, finally back home from Back to the 50's. 9 day trip. I left for BTT50's wed with my 3 daughters and stayed in the Dells overnight. Chicago is one messed up city to drive through. Got to the MN fairgrounds and met a lot of people. Kind of neat to travel far from home and see almost 12,000 cars that we never have seen before! Cool show and awesome fairgrounds. Hooked up with Bleed and Tuck, also made new friends especially ***us (Ruler) Would have liked to hang around more but my kids are too young and I didn't want to slow you guys down! Swap meed was OK.....I don't like the feeding frenzy that seemed to take place. A sellers meet for sure. Did score a spare coil for the Lazy 8 though. The kids were wiped out after the swapmeet so we headed north to Thief River Falls MN to stay with an old Air Force buddy. Dug up some field cars while up there.

 

The first car is a 28-9 sport coupe that someone made a pick up out of. That fit in the back of the truck. The next body is what I believe to be a 30 Chrysler suicide 3 window coupe body. Let me know if you think differently. That fit in the trailer. Next is a 30-31 cowl. Trailer too. Lastly was this 27 T coupe. I cut it in half to fit it in. Just dont get many T bodies by us! I also got some headlights and a moped (Motobecan?) All that and still room for the Lazy 8! Left Mn on thursday mourning and decided to drive straight though. Got stuck in ****in Chicago but made it home 4:30 am. 1,123 miles one way! Had a great time and will be ready to go again to Goodguys Columbus this comming weekend!

 

Nice score Don!

See ya in Columbus

 

Don, had fun b.s.ing with you at bttf, ill have to get to you neck of the woods sometime.

you would be in the group of what we call "horse shoe boys" (you know, find all sorts of **** all the time!)

the 3 window is the best of the group i think.

see ya

***us

 

yeah it was good seeing you again DON-
'the don'
nice score that 3 window does rule...

Tuck

 

Had a good time BS'n with ya at BTTF's. Good luck on those projects. Next time you come thru, bring some tin back this way.

 

The three window looks like an Es***

Also that T coupe has the biggest visor I've ever seen, Holy ****!!!

 

29 Es***

 

Beat me too it!
Definitely Es***. 29/30.

 

Hey Don, great seeing you again,

You beat my trip back from the Jalopy Showdown, I did 1050 miles in 17 hours.

See ya in Detroit.

Man...I really like that suicide three window! Damn...what plans do you have for it?

 

Damn...no wonder we can't find anything decent in this state, Don's taking it all back home with him...good score man, it was nice getting to meet you at the HAMB meet...hope to see you around here again sometime (as long as you quit taking all our cars home with you) hahahaha

 

"The Don" it was good seeing you..... I wish we could have spent more time.
Btt50's is a constant side track.

 

nice to meet you DON...nice finds on those bodies..that 3 window is pretty cool.

tok

 

Nice score Don.

Doc.

 

I agree, plus I didnt want my kids slowing you crazy ****ers down! I am gonna try for the pile up this year. You pick up that A yet? I was curious on how it looked. One of these days you need to school me on how to take a boat across so I dont have to drive through chicago......

Don

 

Same here, I expected a stand up guy from Tucks descriptions but you exceeded that. My kids will definatly remember you.....I built the three window on the drive home in my head. Too bad I have way too many projects already. Will have to hook up again in the future. Hey, you know Ohio is in the middle of MN and the east coast!

Don

 

Hey Bob, if were keeping score, I did it with three girls under the age of 9...... You sure I wont see you before detroit?

Don

 

Johnnyxcliche, I dont know about that, these cars are pretty hammered. For those that are interested this guy has more stuff.....Got your attention now eh. He has a 32 dump truck, a pickup, 3 to 5 sedans, several fat fendered bodies, a killer 31 Willys 2dr sedan, a 4 door Dodge and a couple 50s cars too. He is in Thief River Falls and goes by the name Gator. He is not cheap.... Great meeting you at the hamb greet, get rid of Chicago and I am there!!!

 

not sure as of yet, being an es*** is an interesting twist, I have a poly I could use..............so many projects.

 

thanks dude, what are your plans with the top?

 

Hey Don try this link.

I did it for the Billetproof thingy last year and it is slicker than snot on a doorknob. A bit expensive but the avoidance of Chicago is worth it.

See you at the Hunnert?

BB

 

Hey Curator-

Every respectable AMC collector should have an Es*** in their stable. I can see it now- Grant Rebel, Funnycar ch***is, and Es*** body!! S-***!!!

 

'ga... 'ga.... 'ga.... gold chainer!

 

Hey I thought I was the gold chainer?

I even went as far as digging out my very "Boyd"esque Haiwian shirts for all the meetings! I've been buying musclecar parts on E-bay and all???????

 

Sorry Curly -I didn't mean to leave you out!!! It wasn't intentional! Really!

 

missed you guys at the Euclid Square mall show and fireworks?

 

I dont know for sure but your 27 T cowl doors looks really close to a 26-7 Dodge cowl that I have. Sure its a bucket? And That is an Es***.

 

Yep....I'm sure it is a coupe of 26-27 Ford vintage....I helped unload the back half that someone used a hacksaw to cut into 2 pieces so that it would fit in the truck Not that it real difficult to seperate those cars, or for that matter put them back together.

The Es*** is REAL SOLID!

The Sport Coupe needs to go back to being a sport coupe IMHO. Done in a 40's approach...flathead, wire wheels and a lacquer paint job.
