Some of the locals got together down at the church parking lot. Some pretty decent cars showed up. pigpen
I'm not really sure. I think it's a real dog. I never noticed it before. It must have got away from mamma and did it's evil deed when she wasn't looking. Disgusting creature! pigpen
Alot of the locals have those goofy garden figures they bring to the shows very similar to that one. Its a fake Thanks for the photos!
Great turn out of some sweet rides..............love that one car with the moonshine jug sitting on the floor of the cab! Thanks for the pic's
Yes it was. They have a show once a year in September, at the church that is right next to the lake. You can see it from Hwy. 287. pigpen
Phil...where have you been? Are you back to breaking dump trucks? I took the "Green Tea" to Wichita Falls this last Saturday to a little run that Bobby Melton (the Toe Truck guy) puts on. Many of the same cars showed up plus some others I haven't seen before. Might know I forgot the camera. Melton got one of the nicest tops for his '32 roadster that I've ever seen. It came from Le Baron Bonney, chopped too! pigpen
Yea sure! Rub it in lot's of sunshine, pretty day and all we get in Ohio the last week is rain and 36 degrees this morning. Looks like everyone had a great time.
Here's a link to more shots of "The Green Tea". I'm embarr***ed that you picked that one to ask about. pigpen http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46017&highlight=pigpen+years
Ok. I accept it. You are too kind. I'm thinking about painting it Schoolbus Yellow, spray can implement paint that is acrylic lacquer, maybe with some crude flames. What do ya think? pigpen
I like it just fine like it is. Back when I first started getting in trouble for drawing cars instead of studying, a lot of local hot rods had green oxide primer. I was called something else, but I can't remember what. That was back when hot rods were still built with a lot of war surplus stuff. Oh yeah, Zinc oxide primer, that's it. It was aircraft stuff. Might have been war surplus or it might just have been stuff from the aircraft plants. It was a little more chartruse than your Green Tea, if I recall correctly. This was WAY back, before primer was considered a paint job, just a step until the car owner could afford paint. It was even before the BBC, the word Rat Rod would have just drawn blank looks. Stick a feather in your hat and call it macaroni.
It is Zinc Chromate. We used it all the time on the Navy jets. I'm sure they still do. It's a standard aircraft primer and works best on aluminum. Not a good filler primer though, that's what the "Red Lead" is for. I won't paint the "Green Tea" for some time yet. I'm too busy drivin' that puppy! pigpen Oh yea... I thought that the British Brodcasting Company was started before the war? And... what's with writing on the HAMB at 1:00 AM?
