The Vendettas pulled off another great car show featuring traditional rides. I'm too spent to give much commentary, so I'll let the pics do the talking. To summarize: great cars, awesome people, cool town, ice-cold beer, 70 bands, and hot chicks mud-wrestling in 90+ degree weather. I probably left a few highlights off the list, but as long as we covered the hot chicks mud-wrestling, does it really matter?
I just LOVE this 40 Ford business man's coupe..... His name was LUKE...........when I owned him..... Glad to see he is in GOOD hands..... Way to go Vic ( the new caretaker ) ........take Luke out and show him a good time...........BUT he really loves curves, back roads and moonlight............with a police car chasing him like in the 50's
Wish I was not feeling under the weather as I really wanted to make the show. Murph, the truck is looking good
Looks like a good time do you have any more pictures of that silver and cream chevy pickup with the maroon scallops?
Heres one more pic of that truck I'm sure he can get you all the pics you want since he owns it, it looks great. Murph great job on the pics, hopefully soon I will have some new tires on my ride so I can get to some out of town shows, being broke ****s. You will probaly see me around town though.
I put the wife in charge of pics and didn't get very many. SHe took a bunch of my car and only a couple of others cos she was too busy checking out the stores and talking. Heres what I've got, I'm not gonna post up all the pics of my car though! Murph's truck and the 60 desoto were probaly my two favorites. Wife didn't get any pics of the desoto though! But at least she got one of the cool Merc truck. I got just drunk enough during the car show to forget about sunscreen, and went on to thoroughly cook myself. When I got back to the room and took my wifebeater off, it looked like I still had it on! Anyway, heres the pics. The toothpick next to my car is me.... Guess next time I'll have to take pictures myself!
Man, glad you got some pics of yer car in the sun... it looked killer! I ****ed around waiting for the light to get better, but it was as good as it was gonna get, right around the time your wife snapped her pics. Of course, you can still get burned on an overcast day... esp if you're a lilly-white Scotch/Irish boy. LOL Hopefully you've got more pain from the sunburn than the drinkin'. Speaking of pain, I hope you didn't get so drunk that you dropped that heavy-*** trophy on your foot. Your body and paint work came out so frickin' sweet... no amount of pics, in any amount of light do it justice. Really glad you guys made it up from Monroe. I think the Merc truck already took off by the time I put my beer down long enough to take some pictures, and I realized the clouds weren't going anywhere. Hopefully there will be some more shots of it, along with the Desoto (my one shot came out blurry). Next time you're in Raleigh visiting the in-laws, be sure to give a hollar. -murph
It's hard as hell to get a good pic of the paint even when the sun is out in full force. She got lucky with that one trunk shot! The sunburn made me feel like **** so i slowed down the drinking the rest of the day. My buddy was pissed cos all the "weird broads" had no interest in him and drank himself into an ***hole and we had to quaratine him to the motel room.....he will not be attending anymore events of this nature with us in the future! If you decide you wanna have some more metalflake for yer truck lemme know. I think the roof would look good matching the dash!
If you're talking about the gray Chevy coupe, that's Igor's (also a HAMBer). Very cool ride... but it had to be, cuz the wagon he sold last year was way *****en. Them artist-types sure know how to pick and style em. -murph
don't know if you've seen it or not murph but, he also has a nice econoline in the works to. his chevy is cool and his overall plan for it is perfect. i tried to instil in him when he was here that he needs to get on it and get it there. thats been a car i've wanted to see in paint for a long time. still amazed at how good greg's caddy chop came out. anyhow it was good to meet you murph. and i gotta say again i think you scored one damned cool truck. like i said i liked it from the get go. only pics i took were film. i ruined myself by starting drinking sat night by entering the most beer in 60 seconds contest. i was happy with getting 3 down in a minute esp with getting mased with pbr at the start. still can't believe that big guy drank 5 1/2 in a minute and took time to burp. the night just went downhill from there. i was buying everyone in sight beers when The Rounders hit the stage. started poundin 'em hard myself next thing i knew i was gone. puked for the first time from drinking in 5 or 6 years. damned good time was had none the less. even if i had to leave all the cars and the bike home. finally finished painting the new house. man painting with a bad bad hangover yesterday really ****ed. again good to meet you murph and i believe it was reece i met also. and good to see the regulars to. sorry if i wandered off on anyone. trying to get up with everyone get into a whirlwind sometimes...ken....
Hey Murph, nice meetin' ya at Heavy Rebel. Glad to see some pics on here. 00Mack, thanks for the compliment on the car!
HAHA, ken you threw up! you little girl! Thanks for buying me the beer during the rounders set though! Igor, we need to get in touch again sometime when you can stripe my car!
