Event Coverage Forever 17 car show

Figured I'd get ruckus out and hit a show today. Still cars coming in, I'll post what's acceptable

 

And there's a brewery right here!!

 

Funny how many cars get knocked down by the wheels on them.

 

Good looking little pickup. And the beer is so cold

 

Guess who won a door prize??? Got me a roll of blue shop towels!

 

Thanks for the photos. Was that your El Camino?

 

@Lloyd's paint & glass, tell Ruckus I’m wishing it luck!

 

Yes sir, he's trying to be a show car lmao

 

The white wheel rings on the green Chrysler came about back in the day when whitewalls weren’t so available after WW2 . They were supposed to “dress” up your car a bit.
I remember as a youngster we had them on our 47 Aerosedan,rarely seen these days.

 

Thank You Lloyd
That red FE looks good

 

Thanks man!

 

Sounded good when he came in

 

Now that you've told everyone doubt you'll be able to use them as a prize at Lloydfest!

 

Sure

 

Lloyd, thanks for the photos.

 

Well I didn't get a damn trophy they said my wheels were old and didn't match need me some of them curved spoke torque thrust, everybody there had em lmao! Not only did I not get a trophy for being so damn cool, ol ruckus died on the off ramp and wouldn't start!! Finally, after holding it on the floor and cranking the balls off it, it started. Took my foot off the pedal and it died. Checked under the hood for obvious shit. Closed the hood, fired it up and took off. As long as I kept the rpm up it ran. Pulled in the drive and it died. Finally got it started and 6500rpm up the driveway. Now I gotta figure out what's up with that shit

 

Great thread, it’s like a Lloydfest appetizer! I wish I were closer, I’d be over in a heartbeat to help you fix Ruckus!

 

What is it you're running for ignition?

 

Speedway billet distributor and a pertronix coil.

 

Think maybe the coil shit it britches?

 

I'd put my money on the distributor, first...
You got a cast iron Delco point's distributor laying around you could use?

 

It was rocking and rolling down the interstate just fine. 3300rpm, not a hiccup. Hit the exit and took my foot off and it bit the dust lol. Ah I still made it home without walking. I'll switch the distributor and see what happens.

 

Damnit i could've used your help! Some crazy looking woman stopped and asked if I ran out of gas, then she started telling me about her grand kids and her husband's Chevy pickup. You could've been my wing man

 

At least the door prize wasn't a door!

 

Thanks for the pictures.

 

No I've got an aluminum point distributor though. I had a cast iron in the shop, looked for that bitch q few weeks back and it's mia

 

As long as it's point's...
