Autorama Detroit Thursday Shots in the basement

Had a great time on Saturday, sure there were some cars in the basement that I had to shake my head at, of course the masses loved them....Thanks to Rudy for setting up another great basement show. It can't be easy, pretty soon there wont be any tuners left down there!
Thanks to Singlefinger for the HAMB meet and greet space, and the food and beer!
Thanks to Denise for another fine party, just wish we could have stayed later.

Looking forward to next year!

 

Great weekend, good to see everyone again.

 

Great job on the pics ..had a great time too

 

So, who Named the Monster at the display? My 13 year old is dying to know if he won!! (He called him Booger because you can flick someone off or you can flick a booger!)

 

It's Monday morning and I'm back at work. I'd rather be in bed

Thanks to everyone for stopping by to say hello, I had a great weekend! It was great catching up with so many old friends and making some new ones too. Thanks also to the Singlefinger speed shop for remembering everything I forgot!

 

After we get at least 1 night's sleep, we'll open the ballots.

I'm so FkN tired, I can barely type.........

Big THANKS to everybody that helped make this weeekend so much fun! Denise & Megan did a great job as "Den-mothers" to all of us guys.

 

It is? Does anyone have any old pictures of this car?

 

It went home with best of show, not too shabby is right

 

It makes you sick that someone is making their car look as good as possible for Autorama? That guy cleaning his whitewalls is Jason and he spent the last month doing a lot to his car to bring it to this show. He shaved his firewall and painted it, changes his intake from a four barrel to a tri power set up with some rebuilt Holley 94’s, and bent and louvered some new inner fenders. He got his car to the basement on Wednesday and did some final detail work to it on Thursday like the whitewalls that made you sick. You should just be appreciating the hard work people like him go through to have their cars look good at shows.

 

YOU misunderstood what he said. Read his comment again....the "trend" of FILTHY whitewalls makes him sick. Jason and the rest of the Roads Devils spent alot of time detailing their cars so they would "shine" in the best light possible and they should all be proud. Can't remember what it was for but Aaron from the group took home a trophy (although I'm not sure if he's a road devil, even though his car was in their display)

 

wo dude calm down, You TOTALLY misread what jeff meant. Jeff meant that people lately are leaving there cars/whitewalls dirty and it was a nice change to see someone cleaning there tires. And yes Jason put a lot of time into that car, more then i ever did thats for sure

 

Make sure you pay attention to what you read before you make a comment!! You got that ????? I was COMPLIMENTING your homeboy for cleaning his whitewalls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ IT AGAIN!!!!!!!

 

yup yup, jeff you gonna be at the burbank cruise in on the 20th?

 

I didnt even know about it?? Thanks for covering for me on correcting that dude who read my comment wrong. Where is the cruz at?

 

the big boys in burbank, starting at 4. Bad bob is gonna be there, and im flying in from ohio just for it LOL...well i'll be there too i should say

 

Maybe I will have to see if some of my friends want to go.That sounds cool,we can bring tradition back to Bobs.

 

word!!!

 

Great pics man...Thanks...

Congrats to Bruce on his Darryl Starbird Pick Saturday night! It is a really cool car (it does have metalflake on it afterall )

 

Thanks Meg, he'll hear from me soon. I dig the chit outta that ride.
Appreciate it, dear. We gonna see you down here come mid-April?

 

Nice meeting you, and thanks for sharing the info on those speakers. I see a couple of sets in my near future.

 

Great pictures - Thanks!

 

Well you said that showing up with your whitewalls dirty made you sick so I took that as being pissed that people would detail their cars at the show. That was how I understood it when I first read it. Sorry for the misunderstanding, no disrespect then.

 

it was super kool meeting you too! you rock! hope to see ya again soon maybe billetproof or hunnert? ,george

 

The guy's name is Bruce Comboni, he won Best Custom. I think he's from New York. You'll have to search the member data base. He was moving so fast after he go his trophy, I blurred the shot.

It was great meeting you. I had fun at Denise's. Heard a lot of great stories and met a lot of cool people. The only way to fix the low car count at Autorama would be to help your fiends get their cars done and out their. I'm sure we'll have more next year. I hope to see you at more events. I just dropped the shots off for Hot Rod Deluxe and when I find out which one's they're not using, I'll post more. Thanks for the kind words and have a great day.
