A chupacabra made me cry, and other pictures from Pistons and Paint

O.K I am still new to Texas, and I must say you guys in the scene here are the best bar none. Hopefully you already know how lucky you are to have some of the best rod shows in the country. Pistons and Paint was my 35th show of the year, and is the best so far bar none (overtaking my usual favorite Heavy Rebel weekend in Winston Salem N.C) I just want to thank the chups for a amazing show, and to all you guys for making the scene what it is here in texas. Thanks to Phantom for picking the Boogie Van as his choice that trophy is nicer than my van I think we are going to enter it instead at Autorama. I guess everyone knew you had picked me except for me since I was trying to load the van with our booth and my wife kept stopping me. My wife also deserves a ton of thanks for working the booth all day without much of a break so I could take these pics. She cant talk this morning from talking so much yesterday so I am sure I will hear about it when she gets her voice back lol.

Thanks again to everyone here on the H.A.M.B and a very big thanks to the chups for making us feel very welcome since moving to Texas. Now on to the pics

 

There are quite a few more at this link www.photochicken.smugmug.com there are a little over 200 posted on there. All the pics are property of the chups if one of you guys come by our booth I will give you a couple of discs and you can use them for whatever just give us props wherever you use them

 

nice pics...the Texas scene looks awesome...it was there or North Carolina and the wife chose NC...I was leanin' towards Austin...the boogie van is lookin' good

 

Nice pics. Thanks and, uh, keep your goats and cows locked away at night.

 

Must have took that shot of the pinstriper right after i turned around, he had just handed me his card as he was running the black on the right side of that cap.

 

That show looks like it was a blast.

 

Words cant do the show justice, and even with 200 pics i still missed alot

 

Great pictures!Thanks for sharing them,Nice to hear you won a prize.I don't half envy you, a Great cars, Great show and Great weather too.
A lot of eatin' goin' on in some of them pictures!

Excellent photography man. Thanks for posting!!

 

I feel bad for the Poor guy trying to eat his sausage .

 

Yeah with thousands of folks on the internet now knowing he likes his sausage plain.

Thanks for the photos, looks like a GREAT time with perfect weather.....we had snow on the ground this morning.

 

Greats shots man. Stopped by your both a couple of times but you were out and about. Your wife did a great job holdin down the fort. Love your work. Got to check out the Boogie Van - way cool! Congrats on the award.

 

Thanks for the kind words on the pics,our van, and the booth. I had to take it to the shop this a.m due to my rear diff puking, but I should have it back in plenty of time for Autorama with some new powdercoating in the interior and rear cargo area

 

Hey, great pics, you do great work with that camera. Also thanks for the pick, see ya at the Round up. Richard.

 

Yea it was easy for me to throw in a free photoshoot of your car with the trophy I want to take pics of it anyway lol

 

Nice!

 

EXCELLENT PICS! Man, you sure got an eye.

 

Great eye! Thanks for coming up & shooting the show!

Sorry to here about the van. That's one cool "company car" you got there!

 

Very nice pictures and thanks for sharing them with us.

 

If anything made you cry, you ain't lived in Texas long enough. Wussy.


Love you Johnny Long Lens...

 

Is that why you never answer my e-mails anymore lol.

 

HaHa my wife had the choice of Richmond V.A, Milwaukee W.I, and luckily Houston has the best cancer center on the planet or I might be shoveling snow right now

 

I just found out my little rear diff leak is now a 2,000 rebuild before Autorama lol

 

I Just moved from Richmond. Choice was at VCU?

Great quality photo's.

 

Phantom' you still need to cut your hair. Love ya

 

Phantom is the shit

 

Yea it was VCU it was a tough choice for me since my painter is in Fredericksburg, and they are my best friends......but guys like the chups have made the move so much easier
