The most amazing BARNFIND happened to me and my friend yesterday

the older man is the guy/ builder/ guy who widened the windows/ someone of auto importance and he is departed several years ago. the guy in the modern photos with the white shirt is the guys son, the kid in the orange photos.

 

Holy ****!... That would be SOMEBODY!

 

UMMMM GUYS! JERRY KUGEL'S ORANGE RACE CAR........

 

Agree with the above. Your rods you bought(?) look like the ones on the coupe pictured above.

 

Ok, warmer.. Warmer... WARMER....

 

Where did everyone get the "tweaker" thing from by the way? I just read and re-read and read the original post yet again and no where does it mentions tweakers...

 

BINGO!
Now you just need to contact Jerry to get the history of the car...

 

I KNOW FOR A FACT THE ORANGE CAR IS THE BLACK CAR IN THE GARAGE, it still has the orange under teh black primer, it IS THIS CAR

 

If he bought 40 parts from from guy in SLO who died about a year ago that was into lakes racers....
My money would be on "Mr. 40's fatstuff" guy Art Barnum!

 

So go on a crusade to convert the current owners to HAMB members so we can dig further and get the history.

You say it was their late fathers car/s. Are they considering parting away with these or is it safe to say that they are keeping them in their posession?

 

Winner Winner CHicken Dinner!!! Like I said, I have dibs on that axle. Need one of those V8-60's. This thread is Crazy.....in fact if I were a bettin' man I would wager that you (theloosecannon707) are in fact on Crank. Tweaker!!!!!

 

I put the two images together.

 

"apparently he was the artist who taught chip foose how to draw etc"

If it was Kugel's and was(is) owned by the Tremulis family, that is DEFINITELY a piece of hot-rodding history! Alex was into Bonneville...that's him on the left.

 

They told me never ever will be ever for sale.

 

EDITED OUT! Hmmm..... "Original" OP made several references to tweakers...

 

Wow, my head hurts just reading this thread. Cool car regardless, hope it gets saved from a street rod fate.

 

My A-100 has some orange paint under the primer..... Nah, just tweaking ya!
You sound a bit quick on the trigger yourself....
State facts, then what MAY be possible. Don't jump to conclusions and expect us to tag along....

 

Just curious...what is a tweaker/tweeker. Guessing it is someone that twists the truth of is it simply someone that buys a finished car and tweaks it to their taste? Never heard that saying before.

 

I'm lost..

 

I am stating facts. The tweeker part was not written by me it was in the quote and I didn't want to offend anyone ***ociated with the owners that's why I edited it out. Gosh u guys are a pain in the ***.

 

This just keeps getting more interesting. Try digging up a little more info or get the guy signed up here to give the real story on this car. Great car that needs to be done back to the way it was in its earlier years.

 

Thanks for clearing that up guys. I don't mean to be a P-A, just kept reading the tweaker thing and was wondering...

 

Alex Tremulis died in 1991, so it's not him. Is it possible that this "somebody" is Boyd Coddington (guy in the pic on the ramp truck, anyone have an early pic of Boyd). He died last year, and has ties to Chip Foose.

 

It is someone that uses an illegal narcotic to stay up for days on end and usually start about a dozen projects and never finish them due to lack of concentration from said narcotic. Scary stuff when a famed hot rod is within their reach.

 

tweeker - A methamphetamine user. Tweekers are known for their extreme paranoia, flagrant dishonesty, and lack of non-tweeker friends

Thanks Blue ...and Rods

 

Sorry a little late, I was just answering this guy's question.

 

Okay, I call troll on loose cannon
