Event Coverage Setup day at Sacramento Autorama

Only took a few shots while we were setting up today.

 

Nice, love that gold '32? pickup. That is a bad*** looking piece of machinery. Any chance you can post some higher res. versions.

 

Don't want to steal your thread, nor start a new one. Just wanted to add a few more pics I took from today's setup.

I took my youngest son (7) out of school today and we had a great father/son day. Started it right at McDonald's...then to the Autorama. He helped wax, polish and detail it. At one point in the afternoon he said, "Dad, my legs hurt but I'm not going to let it stop me."

He spent much of the day telling me how great his car ('48 Ford Sedan - to be finished when he's 16) is going to be and what it's going to look like when it's in the Autorama. He even said, "Dad, the Couple looks good but my car is going to look better!"

Needless to say, it was one of the best days of my life.

 

A few more...

 

Lastly...

 

Thanx for the pix. I sure hope to see more of this car. Gary

 

Hi Gary, I'll make sure I get more for you.

 

That the 36 ford that Blue Collar Customs did for James Hetfield?

 

It is.

 

great pics thanks

 

Great pics!! Thanks!!

 

Hi Gary, here are some additional pics for you...enjoy! -Larry

 

Thanx Larry! Love the body work and chop, but I've never been a fan of that style head light - but I must be the only one. Gary

 

Wow Scott, nice job on the '36. I remember seeing that at Paso when it was the "Eight ball".

 

40 years ago I took my boy out of school and took him with me to pick up an Auburn Speedster body and we had a great time. These are special moments and you are teaching quite a cool boy there.

 

Hi Hotrod1940, thanks for the story. Here are a few pics of my youngest and his '48. It belonged to his Great, Great Grandpa and it was the car my Dad learned to drive. Don't ask why, of the 30+ cars he had to choose from, he fell in love with this one when he was 2...pretty cool. My Dad pulled it out last summer and they started cleaning it up and he will spend at least a few weeks this summer working on it. Plus not having to shower every day and getting to shoot guns every day is also a big plus with spending time with Grandpa! Well, today I get to spend the day with my oldest at the Sacramento Autorama...not a bad life. Have a great weekend/holiday! -Larry

 

The Iron Fist 36, is that clear coat over the flawless metalwork, or some trickpaint to like it.
I see Hollenbeck did the paint thats why im asking.

 

It's clear over the bodywork, even better in person.

 

The out side of the car is just clear over metal. The jams and inside of the car are body worked and painted black. No trick paint or lead just a hammer and dolley. Thanks for all the kind words. Scott

 

I see, you guys are so good. double thumbs up!
