WOW, WOW, WOW


What a place, it is beyond awsome, the collection is emence. The shop has every kind of tool that you can imagine, including a large CNC machine. And now for the bad news. No pictures can be put on the internet.

Pictures from the Justice Brothers Museum to follow.

Tribute to Ed Roth car. Sorry I don't remember who built it.






A Dean Jefferies built air suspension vehicle, really wierd looking but it was built for some movie








A reproduction of the Rome Palamides dragster. This car is not "The Gl*** Slipper". That car supposedly still exists and is stil Purple. This car also has a higher ****pit.

Just when I though Leno was cool, WTF? Surely, you have a spy phot of his shop Bob?

 

I've got a ton of pics Trent. They did make us promise not to put them on the internet. If we did post them I think that might ruin the chances for future groups to do the tour.


Here are some more Justice pics though.



This car was built for B'ville but never ran.


Neat old sprinter




Early Kurtis Sprinter, look at the nerf bar. Beautifully crafted.

hey Bb... any chance of gettin some Leno pics in the email?

 

Thanks for the pics, Bob. That dragster rules.

 

Thanks Bob, The sprinters are so cool!!!


Man you guys are seeing some history. to cool would like to know more about them. Thanx

 

There is an awsome collection of memorablia including this.





Gas Pumps, he says that he has over 200. Globes on shelves, signs and all sorts of neat ****. Ed tooks us through himself and he is 84 years old and still collecting. Kinda remindes me of Speedy Bill Smith in Lincoln Nebraska.



















Big day tomorrow, we are doing the Drag Racing, Slalom and Braking tests at Ontario Motor Speedway.

Bob, glad to hear you are having a great time....Jack too!

 

............not sure, but I think that the "Roth Tribute" car was built by Reno "Lil Daddy" Roth??............

 

Nice Pics

 

Bob, thanks for the pics. While I can't go to Bonneville next week, I will be going to the NHRA Finals in Pomona this coming November and will be certain to visit the Justice Bros. museum. What a fantastic place.

 

Hey Bob...Did you and Jack get to take home any souvenirs from Leno's shop???

 

Are you kidding Rick, they didn't have anything for sale. What a great experience. It was almost as good as the ba*****t of the Indy Car Museum in Indy.


Will post some pics from the compe***ion today later.

Was it BETTER than MY shop?
