You were there. The whole car is in frame. That's about the best I can do as well man...
I think I liked it better with the simple flames sans striping... but I'm boring as shit and willing to live with it.
From the same shoot, but different shot technically... When I first got my M6, I wasn't great with the light meter. So, I often used my M8 to...
I'm fairly certain I took this with an old 50mm summicron DR. I know I only had a 28 and a 50 with me... and this doesn't look like a 28 to me...

I don’t agree actually. Yeah, the last few years of Gene’s life were rough—ugly, even. But hell, I don’t really know. I just know the stories, the...

The thing is, I'm not even 10% through the Tom Cobbs archive...
If that's the case, I think we found the earliest known image of the Valley Drifters Lakester: [IMG] It was owned by Mal Meredith... and that...
Turns out it is the Rufi streamliner. It was rebuilt by the Beck Bros: [IMG] First back in action in 1948...
[IMG] I thought Bob Rufi crashed his streamliner just prior to the war? Am I remembering that wrong? [IMG] Similar nose of course... and the...
Yeah... Tom took the photos... And there is one motion shot that looks like it might be his roadster (with hard-top on). If it is, we can assume...
My dumb ass was ignoring the cars in the background. Good point.
Anyone have any leads at all?
Ryan submitted a new blog post: The Mirage [IMG] To be blunt, I have no idea when Tom Cobbs took these photos. They were crammed into a folder...
I’m an MBA… and I didn’t notice any politics on this thread? Regardless, I don’t like radials on hot rods. Period. These Excelsior tires are...

That’s a weird line to focus on. I should have said “traditional HOT ROD tires guys,” but I thought that was implied given where we are. Coker...

Agreed. That's what I'm waiting on as well...
