[ QUOTE ] do you have any pics of the A with the blown hemi and metal flake paint. it was a killer looking car [/ QUOTE ] That car was killer! I have a picture of the mill, but I don't think it's in the stack of shots that I grabbed for some reason. The striping on the Barris car was awesome. I've seen Mack 00's work on here, but it was killer to see it in person. Thanks for the info on that - and sorry I didn't get to meet you guys. I think that Chevy was a Winfield car by the way. It looked very familiar, but I couldn't place it. Thanks for the compliments on the shots...I'll p*** them along to my wife - she was the shooter!
one of these days im going to remember to bring my camera instead of always thinking about making sure i have enough beer and ice
[ QUOTE ] Can you tell which coast we're on? [/ QUOTE ] Thankyou! Someone who still remembers there was a regional "look" difference.... Lot's of fine looking cars!!! There's hope for New Jersey after all!

That last post of an old photo looks like Lanny Erickson's car. Does it have a 50 Merc back gl***. If so... we helped Lanny find it in Canada a few years ago and he is now in Texas and planning on re-doing the car.
Yes, I'm pretty sure it is the Erickson car. It's one of those prints that Winfield sells at the shows. Now that I look at the two pictures, the Erickson car looks chopped more than the one at Gettysburg. Glad to hear the car is alive in Texas.
Yeh! Lanny retrieved it from British Columbia probably 12 to 13 years ago and then move to Louisiana and lately to Texas. Last I talked to him he had another body as the original was rusted up bad but had the intentions of doing it. Man! I was shocked to see the other one. Only 56 chopped Chevy I ever knew of with a 50 Merc back gl*** and yes! Lanyy worked for Windfield (I think it was Windy) and did the original car in that shop. Used to know whys and hows but my memberer quit memberin'
[ QUOTE ] Great Pics! Is 435821, the 56 Chev an old Winfield custom? It's been around a while. [/ QUOTE ] I saw that car at Lead East some years ago and if I remember correctly I talked with the owner and he said it wasn't the original car.It's a great copy though.
[ QUOTE ] the 56 Chev an old Winfield custom? It's been around a while. [/ QUOTE ] That car is sweet. I've seen that thing at many PA/local shows over the years.

Hey Curt- I missed Saturday, but I was there on Sunday. I was hanging out with Luke from Kustoms Illustrated. That Duece Three window belongs to Dave Leather. Its an old East Coast built rod from the fifties. Lots of history.. Can't believe my old C-Dan won a trophy for "Best Hot Rod"??? Next year I'll make it up for Saturday, Sunday was pretty much a wash out.. Spike
[ QUOTE ] That Duece Three window belongs to Dave Leather. Its an old East Coast built rod from the fifties. Lots of history.. [/ QUOTE ] It looked like an older (original) build. I've seen that car before - I love it. Hey, that should be in the magazines!
So many cool cars. I always forget about this show. Darn it! I would have liked to have seen that dark blue paint in person. I've been looking for late-model paints like that -- ones that appear black but light up in the sun.
That 56 has a 50 Merc rear window. That Barris car looks a lot like the Merle Berg buick, with a tailight treatment.
I went up Saturday, around 2:30, and was pretty dissapointed. First off who ever heard of having to pay $10 just to walk around for an hour, look at the same cars, and a half ***ed swap meet? I couldn't stay for the concert cuz I had other thing to do back home 1&1/2 hours away. But thats not worth *****in about... what IS, is the fact that I invited my Bro-in-law, Sister, and their 18 month old gearhead to come see the show with me. They asked me if it cost anything to get in. I told them as far as I know its a free show(I checked the KKOA site B-4 leaving, no mention of admission) We get there find out its $10 a person, They had a $20 on them and I didnt bring any money(didnt think I'd need to) My sis gave me the twenty told me to have fun and they'd meet me back at the playground. I went in mainly to see if it was possible to let them in w/o paying. I talked to 2 people and both of them were ol farts with something stuffed so far up there *** they forgot how to be polite. I'll spare you the details, but the one thing I understood about this "klub" is it felt like they do this for themselves and not for the people, which, without the people they wouldn't have a show! Now, I know I'm *****in about a $10 ticket, but look at it this way... York Streetrod Nats= $10 now thats worth it, and Carlise shows/swap meets usually less than $10. SO WHAT YOU HAD A LOCAL BAND! I was there for the cars! So next year... you can take your show and stuff it! I'll just be kickin back watchin the cars go by FOR FREE! KKOA=Kash Kollectors Of America If I offended anyone...........GOOD! <font color="red"> </font> <font color="red"> </font>
Granted the KKOA show is not as good as it was in previous years. However, they have always charged admission (hard to make money without it), and Blane (the guy who runs G-burg show) is a really nice guy. And the G-burg KKOA is by far the best custom show in that area. Oh yeah, how bout an intro and some pics of yer rides? -Duck
Haring - I got the paint code from the guy...let me know if you need it. olskool37 - blow it out your ***. If you walked around that show and didn't get your $10 worth you couldn't possibly have anything to add to this board.
Ol Skool.. Who are you again? Don't remember an intro... Do you always walk into a room of strangers and start *****ing? Not a good idea around here. Spike
for 1 how could anyone think to take kids for an 1 1/2 hour ride anywhere with less then $20 in your pocket. 2 YOU knew you where going to a show and swapmeet. 3 what would you do if you got hungry ?????? I know for one that im not rich , but if you have no cash stay the fuk home

For the time it took you to type all those words, you coulda been working and made the extra doe back... As that guy from Happy Gilmore says..." JACK ***SSS.."
HeeHee ... I love you guys. Curt, yeah, shoot that code my way. Maybe I can take a look in a paint book. I eventually want to do the Falcon with something that looks like kandy pearl, but without the h***le.
HaHAHA Good it seems as though I ruffled a few feathers. Quick to snap boys, arent we? You know what, if your too ****ing lazy to hit my profile then screw you, your not worth my time either! I'm on OSR forum 90% of the time and just stop in now and then to see if anything interests me. I coulda swore I put an intro up a WHILE back but I could be mistaken. JUST BECAUSE I PUT UP 1 FREAKIN POST DOESN'T MEAN THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN HERE! DUCK? Look man, I kinda wish I spoke to Blane, cuz the guy I spoke to wasnt nice nor hospitable. As far as the "best" kustom scene,... you need to get out more. CURTSIX I'll blow it out my *** once you stick it up yours! No!, I didnt get my ten bucks worth and who the hell are you to know weather I have anything to contribute. SPIKE Again with the intro,... curious bunch arent we? Was I *****in at you? NO! then keep your nose up your own ***! Speakin of "not a good idea" its not a good idea to show how much of an ***hole you are to "newbies" although you probably dont even give two ****s but that just speaks more of who you are! SLAG Look I just got done having lunch at Hoss's and didnt want to waste time pickin up money I didnt think I need. If I saw something I wanted I would have gone to the local ATM and pulled some cash out. Most of the time I have cash on me but I always got plastic! Unlike you, I dont like "pissin" my money away I like putting it toward my car. RATRODDER Lets see it took me no more than a half hour to type all that up. If I earn $20/half hour I wouldn't be wasting my time *****in to you guys, I'd be out there cruising in my $50,000 ride. Now if anyone else has something intelligent to add you know where to reach me. Oh and just for you lazy ***es who dont want to, or know how to, check my profile I'll be adding an intro to make it official Ok?
I'm gonna say this now before things get outta hand and people get the wrong idea. I came to gripe about KKOA and nothing more, I thought that was allowed. You know, speaking your mind. I get all this negative B.S. back because I spoke my mind and what am I supposed to do?, back down? The hell with that! Yea I got a "tude" but its only cuz it was shoveled on me first. The way I look at it is, if you can fling **it, you better as well be able to catch **it. To all the kool/mellow guys out there I'm sorry if this interupts your normal way of HAMB life. If its wrong to get things of my chest tell me now.
OSR? is that `ol skool rodZ? must be...you even sound like that magazine. go ahead and get all of your misplaced agression out..go ahead.no really...and then come back and act like an adult.thanks. curt, how in the hell are you? pictures were great man, thanks for posting them.you still playing?
I ams what I ams. I sound like OSR? Thanks I take that as a compliment, I'll have to go back and tell the rest of the gang. Oh and tell ya what, I'll act like an adult when I'm damned good an' ready, like maybe when I'm 50ish
OK ***got.. Its a small pool we all swim in here and you just **** in the water. I'll see you around, I'm sure. Spike
