Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Chris Casny, Feb 7, 2009.

  1. Just got home from the annual Nick Alexander open house/show/swapmeet.
    We showed up late at around noon, but we still had a good time.
    Here are some pictures.

    Excellent photo coverage. I'm really stoked by that US Army 41 "woodie" in OD and with those WTF six-lug wheels.

    Man, that kind of craftsmanship is rare. Imagine finding that sort of pride in workmanship in one of today's cars. Forget it. Thanks for the photos.

    The cars are cool, but that building is also a work of art. I'd love to own a building like that.

    Some of the detail/joint work that goes into those woodies is stunning!
    Is that Deuce delivery one of the most perfect forms of transport?I think so!
    Great pictures, Thanks.

    Nick.
