Event Coverage ****The 2010 GNRS... TJJ: Best Roadster - Vote NOW!

hahahah... wow... you are wrong, #1 is a real model A roadster, on real 32 frame, 32 steering box, flathead V8, early transmission, banjo rear... all ford parts. he tries not to use anything but gennie Ford.

he also built this coupe in a very short amount of time... and after Bville that year, made it a street/show car...again, some folks on the HAMB didnt believe it was built in the 21st century.. haha

ricky - yah, recognition is an easy thing to give...he is definitely p***ionate about the old days.

 

I guess some awards were made today....This was on the #8 car this afternoon.

Only 9 Roadsters.......where's the 10

 

Obviously alot of people on here don't "get" this car.

 

# 7 just kills it. That thing kicks *** even more so in person.

 

Thanks, Ryan, for doing this post. Way too much fun... can I now tell my buddies I was one of the judges for the GNRS??!

For me it's not a matter of "best", or "fake", or "not fake" or anything else. Like a lot of you, I look at it as choosing the one I'd most like to have parked in my garage.

VERY tough call, but I picked #2.

 

I have never seen so many S.Co.T blowers In my life!!! Awesome day today for sure. The Phaeton (#4) was my choice.

 

You mean number 4? That Phaeton is amazing... I hope it wins, it's pretty darn close right now.

 

Beautiful cars, but I had to go with the Hilborn Special


paint on this was something special.



This was my second choice, had to go to the wife as the tie breaker actually. Should have had the flash on, bummed this was the only picture I got of it

 

Ok, it's real. That's why I asked!

Now whats up with the deck lid on #5???

 

Small block Chevy............what did you think? Something rare maybe, not a chance just a small block chevy.......BORING

 

Just got back from the show, all the cars were great, but #2 got my vote here

 

Tough choice, all beautiful cars in different ways.
I voted for #10. Colour choice outside the box, I'd paint the wheels the same colour as the interior.

 

I love number 8 but the fake paint pisses me off....

 

Like someone building a hypercolored cottage to match the one in their Thomas Kincade painting.

BTW, my vote's for #5.

 

My votes for #11...


I'm surprised that plowboys ride didn't make it in the running.
-He's a HAMB favorite,
-he made the epitome of an indoor car-show hot rod of the 60's,
-its driven
-it's real steel
-it has a remote control bubbletop
-there's 8 carbs on a friggin HEMI
-he even polished all the playmate residue off just for the show.

Is it cause he lives out in the boonies and likes ****py music?

It's like goin to the bar and saying we can only have beer, no tequila, no whiskey...

It's not a roadster.

 

Ok, my bad if its not considered a roadster.
It just doesn't look like a coupe, sport coupe or cabriolet to me.
Which one is it?
if the tops removable, seems like it could be a roadster.

Great collection of cars. The open doors, hoods, and trunks are bothersome, and block the lines of the cars, but i guess that is part of the show car deal. I liked # 9 and #10 a lot and voted for #10.

 

Number 1 is a great looking hot rod. 2 and 4 were my favorites. I chose 4, but i also love everything about 2, even the engine choice. Nothing boring about that car. The wheel/tire choice, and the engine(sbc) are traditional for that style of car. I like em all.

 

wow, what a tough choice. i had to go with #2 it had a great 60's vibe, but i couldnt complain about any of these. maybe the allience venders should kick in a little something for the hamb winner? im down.

 

all were bad ***,but # 3 just caught my fancy...thanks for the hard work Ryan

mench

 

It would sure have been nice to know what's under the hood of #1 and the details of it. I probably would have leaned that way but for lack of an engine shot.

 

Good question , i had asked myself , why is this car even in the running?? New parts everywhere, electronic injection,late exhaust ( speedway motors) and just doesnt have "the look".
But it s obvious i dont know , i voted for the Hilborn car # 6...

 

Hands down

#4

I want one!

 

I agree. I voted from Ryan's pictures 1st, then saw the cars later that day. I would have changed my vote after seeing them in person.

 

Everything in Suede Palace is up for grabs in my humble opinion...

 

That's my thoughts exactly, the Hilborn roadster got my vote too.

 

It's not up for the vote, but the Hetfield/Door Auburn was the most beautiful roadster in the whole show, hands down.
