You might not here anything until Monday, as they will be set up in Louisville at the Street Rod Nationals. I can just see it now, all weekend...
I'm all for bringing back these times...just don't bring back tires sticking out side the fenders (hate it then, hate it now) and overstuffed van...
It amazes me when I see pictures of cars that I don't remember seeing there. Maybe it was the heat getting to me. Thanks for posting these.
Yep. That's it. I sent the picture to my Mom. She thinks that was at Gatlinburg. One of these days, I am going to start a "where is now" thread...
Great pictures! Post #44, the orange Deuce Tudor is my Dad's. That is him standing by the windshield and my Mom over the hood. It was called...
I haven't looked at my copy for years either, I'll have to pull it off the shelf when I get home tonight. It along with the original "Hot Rod...
I had a OT S-10 painted by them in the 90's. It came out pretty good, but I also did as much prep as I could. It held up well while I had it and...
When I had my '50, I had a guy argue with me that it was a '51 Ford. (Since I filled the hood and put '51 upper grille bars on it and it couldn't...
Now I know why no one else parked here...
I've always been a fan of Pratt's cars. I'm not really a fan of '57's, but the rake of that one is perfection. I can't wait to see more pic of it.
[ATTACH]How about following your car on its way to the body shop. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I have that same version of "Susie, the Little Blue Coupe" and it was on of my favorites as a child. I also still have my copy of this.... [IMG]
For me it has always been about the trip as much as it is about the show. One summer, every run I went to was at least hundred miles one way. I...
Don't forget places like around the steering column and where the brake/clutch pedals come up through the floor.
I remember the '54, but I sure don't remember the retractable that is in the background.. Beautiful pictures, I enjoy each one as you add them.
Not just that year, but all the years staying at the Executive Inn, that was the best part of The Nationals. Right after the giveway car was done...
I remember being in the exhibit hall, the old one in the back, and the downspouts were bursting inside from all the rain. That's how we knew...
That was my first thought. I like the back, shame there isn't a profile shot. I'd like to see how far that nose jets out.
Never been a fan of them myself, although if the quarters are extended it helps. I do like the one on Sam's convertible. I consider it an...
You're thinking of the Bob Horn Chevy that was built here in Cincinnati. IT has a Lincoln rear bumper turned around and used for the front. The...
Love this thread. I grew up going through my dad's Rod Action, R&C, and early Street Rodders that were full of this style. The silver 3 window...
Cliff Inman Chrysler.... [IMG]
Now this '51, man I keep coming back to it, I've been wanted to build a torpedo back for awhile... [IMG]
Sorry to hear about that Kirk, like the others said the Gazette has only been worth reading under your leadership. If you plan to stay in print...
I think moving it back to June is a step in the right direction, just way too much going on in September around here in the midwest. When it was...
I thought I read that most of them were crushed, since they were basically 'concept cars' and Ford would have to pay taxes on them to keep them....
I use to break the alternator bolt that went through to the head on my '60, replaced the ones coming with the chrome kit with a factory GM and...
What about a pair of '59 Catalinas? They are about half as long. I bought a pair and was thinking of using them until I finally bought a pair of...
Just be prepared, your old springs might have settled enough that new lowered springs won't give you a full 3 inches. My '60 has a couple coils...
It's not just the NSRA, I second guess the numbers of all the big events.
Separate names with a comma.
