Event Coverage Grand National Roadster Show Pics

Just gor back from more than a week on the road, spent the first part in So Cal attending the GNRS. What a great show as usually with some outstanding rides. Some great Customs and as usually incredible lowriders. There were a number of great contenders, 5 out of the 18 were true contenders I thought, but have to believe the picking of the AMBR has become who you know and not the best car. Alloyway built roadster was nice, but typical Alloyway look (it looks like most roadsters he has done) and in my opinion was a Top 6 or 7 ride (maybe being inducted into Hall of Fame helped him with the win).. I thought I had a good eye as my Top 3 guesses of the AMBR usually includes the actual AMBR winner, this year I was way off.

Took a ton of pics from the show and a few shop tours the day before.

Enjoy.......

 

Cool - Thanks for pics.

 

You're not kidding, that's a ton of photos! Thanks for posting. I'm sort of partial to this one.

 

Jez Louise, that's a lot of pix. I only made it half way thru... for now.
Any more info on the model cars? They appear to be a large scale - my favorite kind. Thanx, Gary

 

Great photos!
Thanks

@Boones - Great pics and event coverage! ... Thanks for the link!

 

Thanks, great coverage

 

Nice photos. Quite a bit to look through. I see you tried to get some spy shots of the frame on our Packard. Haha

 

Thanks for the great pictures.

 

Thanks for posting those.

 

Great pics....thanks,

Just went through your Barrett-Jackson photos.......where was their suede palace?

 

Ken,you never let us down when it comes to event coverage,the shop tour photos were a bonus.

Thanks for taking all the time to post them.

It took a while to go through all the photo but end the end this plain old simple roadster really gets in my eyes.HRP

 

Guys thanks for the compliments.. OK, just did not feel right only posting the link so now I will post of some of the pictures that I liked. I am sure others have posted pics from the event, not going to double check what has or has not been posted, just going to add what some of the HAMB friendly rides I liked.





This ride knocked our socks off, Hollywood Hotrods knows how to build a car, the detail was incredible...










have to congratulate our Sweden friends for living the dream..

 

this things had so many custom touchs, looks like it should have been a 60s Revel model.

 

The funniest cars to look over where from the Loco Banditos and Lowriders

 

Ken,I thought the exact same thing! HRP

 

still lookimg like a winner, a timeless roadster

For all those that couldn't get there, thanks for taking the time to post your pictures. Great selection.

 

Great pictures Boones, I think you got em all!

 

Great photography. Thanks for taking time to shoot and post these.

 

bttt

 

@Boones .
Thanks for sharing all these great photos the show was a blast and it really was like living the dream.
Back at home now in a very cold and snowy Sweden. I sure wish I was a Aussie right now, don't they have summer right now ?
Seriously were heading back to Ca next week to have the car at Sacramento Autorama before shipping it back to Sweden, I can't wait
Cheers Mate ! /Martin

 

Boones: You are one thorough @##$%^& when it comes to taking pics! I saw 752 in the Fotki group. My eyes are tired. Thanks....Tim

 

tmlcracing, sorry for the mistake, I was tired, I knew where you had shipped it from but my fingers typed the wrong thing. We spoke for a very short time on Saturday, I think it is great what you have done....

 

Killer photo's Ken. HRP

 

timwhit, thanks.. I try to document the shows now more than just shoot what I like. I hope in 20, 30, or 50 yrs from now it will allow folks to see what was there, not just the top show cars.. I know I am not a top class builder or even mediocre, so this is how I contribute to this thing we call hotrodding. I realized there was one car I did not share and I believe might be a contender for next yr if completed...
