Hot Rods Coupes out for breakfast pics (w/ Bud Bryan)

thats why I come on here.....real Hot Rods!thanks for posting, you guys have have three proper cars.I`d be proud to own any one of them.

 

Just for fun I contacted someone I do know with at Source 1 Media (SR & R&C owners) about republishing the old series by Bud Bryan on building a traditional flathead powered 29 highboy and was told they never repeat stories as readers would be bored. I said "hell" that was almost 40 years ago and a large share of those readers are gone or quit the hobby. But I hit a dead end. What a shame, that series is so on the money with what is happening today. A younger generation denied!

 

Could have been titled "Early Iron..done right". Thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks for the pix. You and your buddies are lucky SOB's. I love that 34 coupe.

 

Very nice!!!
I needed that to help me through my winter depression.

 

Well jim........ I guess next time I get the text ( yes I got it) I WILL try to show up. Looks like you guys had a great time. Maybe james and I will come over on saturday nite if thats still cool!!!!!
cheers

 

great stuff! Those cars define what this is all about. And a lot of us owe a debt of gratitude to Bud Bryan for his great work with Rod & Custom in the late 60's and early 70's. He did a lot to keep hot rodding in its traditional form alive - remember that A roadster on 32 rails he built?

 

Keep it up. Thanks. COOL shots. Slim

 

Hey Jim,----See if Bud remembers this trip to Detroit in 1972!!!-----Don

Good pix of him in that coupe!!

 

Thanks Don and everyone else that has had good things to say about Bud on here and P.M.'s..

I will be seeing him tonight when we get together to work on another coupe being built on our street and I plan on taking my laptop over to show him the response..

 

That 34 3w is a work of Art!!!

 

Pretty mean of you to show us these nice pics
when were knee deep in snow.....ha ha

 

I can`t wait till spring.

 

I agree! Three VERY awesome cars.

 

Great coupes! I too took a coupe to breakfast this AM in central Florida, about 50 guys....and 2 cars????

 

Very nice cars I can not wait till spring. snow sucks! Only five years and I am out of here.

 

Great photo's. Love those cars

 

Could not agree more, those articles on the 29 were looked forward to each month. Rod and Custom was full of great cars and interesting articles. I have looked at them many times and remember well the one on Jake and his 3 34 coupes. Reprinting those would be informative and educational for the younger rodders.

 

I love the full fender '31 as well. It's one of the nicest I have seen... see if he wants to trade for my '32

 

beautiful cars! it hit 25 above zero today. HEAT WAVE!

 

Put in another vote for repeating the articles Bud wrote on building his hiboy. If they reprinted them they would be instant collectibles and no matter how many they printed they would sell out. I'd take a few copies myself. My old ones have been taped back together several times.

Great cars, love the 34.
How'd you get the last pic on the first post? Those trees dont look that tall.

 

how did you get this picture? you appear to be higher than the house in the background.

 

That row of houses are zoned commercial and there is a parking structure across the street.. The reason that we took those shots there is that Bud's daughter in law owns the store that we are in front of...

 

Well, tonight was the first night that I have seen bud and showed him this post, since he doesnt have a PC yet he wanted me to relay this to you all..

Hey boys, those were great times that I remember well.. All of you out there are the reason that I have started another car and rejoined the fraternity.. I plan on on purchasing a computer this year and when I do I will have a great time chatting with you all...

Happy motoring,
Bud

P.S. Gotta go for now... Brent wants us back in the garage to finish the flathead for his coupe!! See ya on the road..

 

I'd be tough to duplicate now though. As I recall, he started with a brand new, still coated in cosmoline, 59A block.
Great series of articles, I think I still have 'em all, have to dig them out for a reread.

 

Hi, this is Bud Bryan's daughter. I think its great that he has found some cool cats to share his passion for cars with. Keep posting the pics of my pops and the rods. I LOVE IT!!!

 

Update! In my previous post I said Bud was building a boat tail speedster. He called last week and plans have changed as he has decided to build a more ole timey RPU. Is getting it ready to take to Dale Caulfield to have some finish work done in preparation for a possible summer or late summer debut? I'm sure he will jump in as soon as he gets a puter.
