Deuce of Spades - on location shoot

We went to support Faith in her film Deuce of Spades on Saturday. She was filming the Saugus Drag strip flashback scene and needed old cars to fill in. I brought two cars and we had a blast. Who knows, maybe the cars will be in the film....

Early morning, just after sun up. waiting for the gate to be unlocked...






The drive into the property...





Staged and waiting for instructions on where to put the cars.




I was paired up with this truck for a drag race scene. Nice guy and nice truck (sorry I've forgotten your name)


I brought the 36 cabriolet and the 32 roadster.


Me (in HAMB shirt) and friends Doug and Rob


Representin' the HAMB with the girls on the shoot.


Faith is getting everyone squared away.


The cast that was on this shoot. Notice the cars all set-up for the drag race.


Ready for our "race". Top speed .......30 mph.

 

Nice man. Looks like a lot of fun. Any more shots of that 1940 Ford Coupe?

 

looks like a good time.when is the due date for this?

 

really cool stuff, I give Faith mad props for what she's doing...


thanks for the pics!

 

Is that really the rules of tech week? I thought it was just a call to get more stuff that is technical in nature. Are we not supposed to post somthing if it is not a "tech" post?

You can post no other threads on the HAMB... no event coverage, no build diaries, no opinion threads?

I am by no means trying to start anything, I just what to know if I am right.

Im not HAMB police, just posting this from Ryans thread announcing that its tech week.

Interpret it any way you wanna.

 

Looks like they all had a great time! Only tech problem is that back at Saugas in that time frame, there were NO RAT RODS, Guess I'm just gettin' old & not appreciating all this new car culture!---BUT, I have all my many memories of the way it really was back in the late 40's & early 50's!
Wishing the gal all the luck that is producing the movie, especially on her tight budget that I have been following since she started.------------Don

 

Wish I could have been there. A little too far away and my car is one year too new. I've been watching the Deuce of Spades threads, its shaping up to be my favorite car movie. Can't wait for it to come out.

 

Geez am I envious or what...!!

Looks like ya'all had a blast - ya might even get your ride in the next great HOT ROD film to hit the screens !!

Way to go to all you cats for helpin out Faith on this journey of hers. What hot roddins all about imo.

Rat

 

Is that 50Fraud I see there?

And how can you not love a '40 Deluxe Ford Coupe!

 

Thanks for sharing. Looked like a blast.

 

Thanks for posting.

I don't see any probs posting during tech week.

More than a few non-tech posts coming in anyway.


As for the very low green RPU, 77 Sunset Strip had more than a few wanna-bee clones and there was always a guy who wanted to and did go low to blow everybody away.
Not many of these back in the day, but I saw a few very low ones although the green RPU would have been the winner here.
More than likely because a very low early, axle style car was beyond the building capabilities of most.

Geez, high tech to us was a guy who owned an arc welder....

 

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing and it looked like a great time. I live on the wrong coast.

 

Looking good John, a Cameo performance there eh? I hope you'll still remember us little guys when your famous .
I wish I could have gone but I was working on the Anglia Gasser all Saturday.Well done to all who went .

Good luck Faith , its all looking excellent .

 

Looks like alot of fun. Wish I lived closer to join in.

As far as tech week goes, just no O/T stuff, AKA dog dying, ebay, ranting, whatever, just on topic hot rod and custom stuff.

 

I'm not sure what I'm liking more the photos or the upcoming movie, wjat are the chances of getting all these photos collected along with any others, and published? I'd love to get a copy of them. Keith

 

Sorry, I was under the impression it was tech only, till I got a chance to view other topics

Thanks again for the photos

 

That would be a question for faith. I took photos for my own album and just posted a few so people coukld get a feel for the day we had.

 

Yes it was fun!!! hot and fun
But you left out my car the black 32 3 window (wrong tires) that was down the track lol
Dave

 

Why yes, it is!

Here's another picture of the '40, which was really nice and running a nicely detailed warm flattie:

Here you are:

...and here are some additional overviews of the day:









For dessert: I loved this old timer, which belongs to the guy who owns the property:
