Event Coverage NSRA Nats 2013 - A Steaming Pile of Pics

How could I have looked at cars for four days and missed this. A steaming pile, indeed.

How appropriate to have a faux QC bringing up the rear.

49 Chevy pickup my ****!!

VERN, VERN, VERN......what were you thinking??

 

That's just sick.
And in black, no less.

 

Say what you like George but I saw this car at the Goodguys show in Charlotte and although the color is odd it stands out in a sea of red! HRP

 

Maybe I am just old and need to get with the times, but man, that is UGLY. When they did it on that Tudor, I got the message, but I thought "yea, its a really nice car, would sure look alot nicer with a decent color on it" now its just plain ugly. JMO.

Its like "this car is so slick, I am gonna spray it THE UGLIEST color I can find, and its still gonna be hot ****", excuse the pun. Its still ugly, and if it becomes the new "flavour of the week" we are gonna start seeing it on cars that AREN'T slick enough to carry it off. Wheres that barf smilie when I need it.

 

Granted there is a large amount of funds expended shown in these vehicles. However I seem to notice more emphasis on careful and artful fabrication and craftsmanship as opposed to simply showing off high dollar billet items and such. The first photo of the Model A sedan really reflects effort as much as mere finance. Many of these vehicles have painted steel wheels and over the counter rims and such. They all look great. To build a modified or any type first generation vette would cost you a bundle just have a platform to work from. I think the pro pick guys did a
really good job of recognizing quality building on all levels of expenditure.

 

Anybody know of a build thread on this car? I'd love to see how it looks under the paint.

 

Long time driver, (don't recall his HAMB Handle) on here. Suspect that he knew Sabie as well, he's had the Hemi for many years.



Lots of truth to this.

 

Lots of very nice iron, and the Jingle Jugs?

This guy even gets north of the boarder . He's in Moncton at the Atlantic Nationals quite often . The show is the largest in Canada and boasts one of the largest prize pools in north America . All the big names have been here !!

Skip Readio is the long time owner, and a great guy.
He's been there, done that.

 

Love the Bayou Rebel with the gold leaf lettering.

A cl***ic look never goes out of style.
