The Revolutions have been my favorite area shows in many years, even at Mabry. Small and purposeful. Stick to your guns. Shame that the City of...
Congrats an a neat project! I was advised/pushed by my dad to turn my roadster in my avatar at 16 because I would never get it done and regretted...
This will sound crazy but I have always loved Topolinos and I really disliked how they all followed the same style when built for the street and...
Great pics partsrivit. Thanks! I love seeing stuff from the Tx/La areas.
I like it. Re-contour the rear of the top to flow better( looks to be a rear roof section that was shortened ? ), bring the top of the doors up...

And just like that, they appear. Thanks 296ARDUN and the H.A.M.B.
Wanted to bring this great thread about my favorite style rod to the top again. Any more contributions?
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a fun cruise with something for every taste. Those small cruise nights are sometimes the most fun.
A nice VW motor sounds better than a lot of the vintage bikes the nostalgia crowd loves, and I hear they had a few vintage VW Gassers at GNRS-by...
What a great lookin car. Congrats!
I have attended every roundup, and even though I have not been a show participant due to my past toys not fitting the bill, I am a lifelong rodder...
I have to go against the grain for my choice of which Vicky to hot rod. Love the A and the 32's body lines and feel you can just do more with the...
Here is a pic of the Webb brackets or the Moon tank from the Doc Eisland car. I like how both the pedal and brackets were cast with "speed...
BTT! Anybody? Thought maybe military surplus but have heard of fuel tank brackets a s well with the Webb name on them.
I am looking for information on Webb cast aluminum parts. Did a few searches and came up with zip. I once owned the Doc Eisland drag roadster...
Love 'em! This thread has been great at showing the evolution of the cars as years went on. The difference between the mid 50s and mid 60s is...
Great info Darren! If 2 of the 3 cars survived, the odds of the sedan surviving are even slimmer but you never know.
Jeepsters make good looking cruisers. About ten to fifteen years ago there was a guy running a detail shop out of a downtown parking garage in...

He was right, enjoy writing YOUR chapter in the car's history. Can't wait to see it.
Thats a good looking car. So what if it has a few extra bars. How many in the day were raced and stayed un modified? A stretch here, another bar...
You didn't ask about an obvious (to me anyway!) third option. That car would look great with the wheels chromed and wide whites. Sweet ride.
