How could I forget Coby's Van!!!! That might be my favorite build in a long time. It's just a perfect piece automobile or not.
Rudy Rodriguez Merc Fabian Valdez Chevy Van Go Mark Mortons Merc Jimmy Vaughns Ford Hirohata Merc too many to list but these were on the top of My list to see in person
If you love customs, that's kind of like asking you to pick your favorite child. There was a metric ****-load of very significant customs there.
Rudy's Merc was beyond words. The take out T was awesome as well. Too many clean rides to pick just one.
There are plenty of posts with pics Shawn. Rudy and Paul's Merc is incredible. I applaud them for not popping the hood to display the fully dressed flatty, although it probably cost them a win. Take out T is cool, but the guys are even cooler. And my sleeper favorite was the 49 chevy built by Circle City and painted by Har****. Wowza!!!!
1. CCHR/Har**** 49 Chevy 2. RJ's/Alex Valdez 73 Boattail Riviera 3. Coby's Econoline 4. Takeout T 5. Yaril's Shoebox And Mox Miller's 58.
Well, here are some of my favorites. It's almost impossible to rank them though. For a young guy like me who has only seen a lot of these cars in crusty old magazines, this years GNRS was an absolute dream come true. I have gone every year for a long time, and this year was my favorite overall show. My god, the colors on this thing were amazing. I almost ran into someone walking away from it because my head was still turned around looking at it. Best looking hot rod imo. Amazing stance, very purposeful sinister look. I don't think there's anything I can say anything that hasn't already been said. It looks way better in person than it does on Facebook, lol. For historical importance and personal influence, this was tops! I was enamored for a very long time. I'm glad I have a patient wife that let me stare for a while. I'm a ****er for the 70s and Dan Woods is the man. The striping detail and overall display was mesmerizing. Very cool little truck. But, this one was the absolute ruler for me. It did not disappoint from any angle or in any detail. I mean, the flathead block looked like it was made out of porcelain! Plus, my daughter loved it, lol.
I liked the Stude pickups...the whole show was outstanding....no clear favorite... all the rooms were overpowering....possibly never to be topped.....thanks to all who made it happen..!!! I'd put all 860 of my photos up but it'd take a while to resize that many....some on my FB page....jim wray....more to come....!!!
If Rudy didnt win, its probably because he cared more about what the public came to see than what a few judges wanted to see. Doesnt that make him the coolest person on the planet? I think I speak for everyone, thank you sir. Words literally fail when trying to describe that car.
Rudy and Paul's Merc is in a cl*** of it's own.....Pretty hard to top that one. Had NO IDEA it was Paul's either,hahaha! Not til me and slddnmatt met him and he told me! Great meeting and chatting with you Paul.
Zocchi's Lincoln reminds me too much of Magilla Gorilla. 1. RJ's Rivi, Mothership! 2. Van Go 3. The **** Fowler Coupe 4. The Herb Ogden Buick 5. Jr. Conway's Shoebox Clone And I can't forget Hush Hush: And apparently I'm an idiot and totally missed the Har**** painted Chevy!
