L.A. Roadster show 2008 pictures

Some of mine.



Swap meet goodies

 

Jack Carrol's 32

 

The highlight for me was meeting Vern Tardel. Nicest guy. He showed me all about the French Flathead, excellent stuff.
Of course here is the Tardel/Bishop roadster.

 

Really cool pics dude, thanks for sharing!

 

Dreadman, what are you shooting with (camera and lens)? Nice photos.

good seein you man! there was too much shit in the swap meet, i didnt even get to see any cars!!!! thanks for the pics homie!

 

Haha, don't laugh, a point and shoot, Canon Powershot SD 870 IS.
I used to use a "big" Canon 10d and 20d, but the little Powershot gets me into tight spots.

 

i love jack carrols coupe, prolly my favorite 32

Ty for the great pics.

 

Hey Dreadman,

Do you remember the name of those rare drums you got a foto of?? I walked up to them and ask the guy how much? he said he just sold them for $700. Those drums are bitchin!

Then you and Sandy drank all our beer!!! we shoulda brought more. Beers were $10 for a 16 oz.!!

So I noticed Sandy jumping into your fotos again. Just 2 this time.

Great fotos!!

Excellent pics, always a pleasure! Again, the Carrol coupe is so right...

 

Those were Kinmount's, very rare and when I asked the guy how much he wanted, he answered $3500 for the pair. I also later saw a set of 4 and they went for $5000.

 

They are called KINMONT brakes, and they are not drums, they are discs.

AND none of the sets at the show were complete, they were all missing parts (good luck finding the parts).... I looked through all of the KINMONTS at the show and they were all missing a lot of parts.

A complete set will cost $15K or more..... that's why the prices were so low.


How many of you guys noticed the FAKE Stewart Warner 5" guages in the swap section selling for $1200 ??.. that's right, silkscreened over a face and then used '36 for needles....

 

Very nice photos. The quad intake would be great to own since it was made in Burbank your hometown. Not cheap though.

 

Great pics Dreadman. I was there 2 years ago, my favorite weekend EVER. I got to meet a ton of hot rod "superstars".

 

Great Pics! It was good to hang out with you.
