The Alviso modified belongs to Eddie Barbosa from gilroy
the car has detail every where you look

 

Hey Terry, nice to see that other people appreciate the COE as much as I do. Thanks for the advice on the rear end, I think I will do like you said. If it gives me any more trouble I will just get one from the junk yard. Back to working on my COE now, I'm off today.

Guys, if yall want some good advice on building a COE then Terry is your man. He does excellent work......

 

hey it was great to finialy meet ya as well

 

Actually, Cab summed it up on the last page:

"This show was moved from the previous spot two years ago that was held at a bowling alley nearby, all the cars invited were parked on the Asphalt, since then, then venue has been changed because it had closed down. I feel this new spot is a better location even though the whole parking lot is not paved and finished yet."

 

We have independent judges give the awards, but I wish this period perfect custom would have won something....

Thanks for the info.I must have stood next to that car for 20 minutes taking it all in.After i got the rest of the cars at the show,i went back a stared some more.Real nice ch***is work and details here and there......

 

Hey thanks turbo442, my wife has a 59 bird, and were still looking for paint ideas other than the watson style, not that it was bad, but more sixties metalflake would be cool.

 

We gave that car Best Hot Rod at our show, and then he got it agian at the Strangers show!!!! Killer car, and a really nice guy.
His wife won best Mopar at the Strangers show too....

 

What Jay said.

Eddie, the guy who built the roadster is a really nice guy, with a lot of talent. He brought it to our show 2 years ago on a trailer as a roller and this year he drove it in with a huge smile on his face. Neat car with some neat tricks. Notice the old tractor gas tank?

If you ever get a chance to meet him, ask him about the Alviso Roadsters.

Fencepost: That is the HAMB's own SEAN's car, check out the Strangers Car Club website for more pics, it is truly *****en and you have to see it in person to take it all in. But don't follow behind it to closely or it will get angry and try to throw a lake pipe at you!

 

yes, I just saw it in his avatar.

I also own a '57, though it's a far cry from Sean's (or the highway, for that matter)

very nice car Sean!

 

Thanks Fencepost!
...and yes, she does like to lose the lakers every once and a while.

 

I can see how it might lose them
btw, way to power park man, I don't think any car would have it gotten better visibility.
Nice Fairlane!

I took a bunch of pics of that car. definately lots of thought and attention to detail.

 

By the way, if you enjoyed the Asphalt Invitational, here's the Vultures who brought it to you:

Chooch Chris (Worked the registration booth/ standby list and logistics)
NorCal Nic (Handled the PA and the bands)
Big Worm Bill (Front gate)
Rooster Paul (Front gate)
Gordini (Reg booth, trophies)
Crash Kevin (Head of parking)
Oggie (Parking)

Plus volunteer help from Dave, Baron von Mike, Arizona Nick and others I know I'm forgetting...
Last, but not least: The Radiator Hoes car club- They rocked the merchandise booth operation.

 

Thanks for the photo. I got there at 8:00 am to hand out raffle tickets, hence the spot. Didn't know if I would make the show due to work and a honeymoon.

Someday I will bag the car to stop losing the lake pipes...

Eddie is my sister's neighbor in Gilroy. I got to see him build this car in his home shop. It is an awesome piece of craftsmanship. I'm lucky enough to have ridden in his car. I had to use that same kind of gas tank in my bobber truck.

 

Thanks; Cool bunch. - 'but'.. Would'nt be much use for that A tudor though- not low enough.
