Event Coverage Deuce day at the Petersen 3-3-12

I'm not,,that has to be one of the nicest Hi-boy 4 doors in existence,,I love it, HRP

 

all the cars are very nice,thanks for sharing.....

 

Looked like there were more deuces there than a busy day at the Rolling bones shop! Was that a clone of the Jackman bros. sport coupe in one pic ? any more of it?

 

Very nice job,Craig! Wish I could have gone.

 

THANKS everyone for your nice comments!
Not sure how I missed posting Gary Schroeder's roadster last night, maybe cause I was half a sleep! Lots of hand made parts on this one by longtime fab'r Dick Russell. That's me doing the lettering last year. I had a hard time put'n a brush on this one.
Thanks again........BE SAFE!

 

That's some nice work,Craig. Looks perfect...

 

From one lettering guy to another , That roadster was bitchin !! good work . BTW thanks for taking a few pics of my roadster on the top floor .

 

Hopefully CW's40TPU doesn't mind if I ad a few pictures to his thread. We made it back home to Tucson a few hours ago, a little over 1,100 miles for the weekend. We had a great time at the Petersen, and also managed to fit in quite a bit of site seeing as well since we brought our wives along with us. Some highlights included a shock repair after midnight in the Wal Mart parking lot in yuma, AZ, our cross-dressing "waitress" at Du-par's and buying enough premium unleaded to support OPEC for the foreseeable future. Sorry for the low-res iPhone pics, hopefully Mike (ElBombero) will add some from Amber's camera.

Ryan,

We had the same waitress last night at Du-pars! I told everyone at my table, guys thats a dude. At first nobody believed me but by the end of our dinner it was pretty obvious.

 

Thanks for sharing the great pictures and stories!!

 

Not a problem "teach'm", your pictures and stories are welcome here! Glad to hear it all worked for you guys and you made it home OK.

 

"BAD BOB".........Thanks for your help!. I had to get this right cause I knew you'd come over here and kick my OLD A$$ if I screwed this up.........haha

 

If I remember correctly it was a German Body. The chassis, drive train, grille shell hood and firewall etc...where exported, then the body built in Germany. One of the interesting things is the hood. You'll see the 32 hood but with the step around the louvers like a Model A. Looks like ford was using up leftover parts... or at least a cross utilization of tooling.


Anyone know what the ribbon was for on the front?

I hope you liked the paint. I did the body and paint on this years ago. The fenders and the Pines winter front grille are not black, but a deep chocolate color.

 

The red ribbon was a participant ribbon if entered into the show.BTW English 32's had the same hood side panels with the louvers on the raised panel.

 

Thanks for the pictures! Makes me wish I could have been there.

 

You guys suck.......your having too much fun..............

 

philly the greek.....
Thanks.
I really like your work also, your roadster is one of the BEST!
Love everything about it. Your flames are perfect.

 

Dragon Wagons......
Thanks for the info. on the German Deuce. Your paint still look's GREAT!

 

Not trying to Hijack, but what kind of wheels are these? Halibrands? If so what were they called?
Killer photos by the way!!!

 

Hopefully you guys will have Camp HAMB in preferred parking again this year, as we plan on driving out for the Roadster Show in June.

Thanks for the pics. I just noticed this. The 32 sedan that you were diggin' is my friend Ray Forbes out of Reno,Nv. I got a chance to ride in it right after he got back from LA. It hauls ass and looks the part. I am putting the same motor in my 34 coupe. Can't wait

 

Great info and pictures. I'd have liked to be there but was just out for GNRS and this weekend was "Stray Kat 500", couldn't miss that.
