Ronnies ARDUN is the only one I've riden in "at speed" I know the spirit of Mike Hart was along for the ride. Wonder if that's the first coast to coast ride in an ARDUN powered car?
Yes, that was the plan. Scot ( blue tudor) was meant to take his RPU, but only finished it just before they left. Anyone know if Ron made it? I spoke to him just before he left, hope he hasnt had any trouble...
Bob, Ronny Roadster and Scott rode out together - did the desert and Las Vegas in the daytime and survived enough to make it to the LARS. Not a bad accomplishment for an Ardun and a blown flatty! Dennis
Wore my HAMB shirt Saturday and NOBODY said hi.........did get a dirty look from Boyd's kid though that made it all worth it. Saw some cool stuff......saw some overpriced stuff......saw some cheap stuff that sold on Friday before I got there......nearly had a heart attack when I was quoted $800 bucks for some '46 Canadian Merc hubcaps. Sunday morning I got to see some guy nearly get his face caved in for asking one of the Kennedy Brothers "Is the decimal point in the wrong place?" on one of their trucks that was for sale. Didnt buy much.......the new Hop Up still isnt out.
they were selling gold, did anyone see the chopped 3 window 33 ford body, it was 40K? there were a "barn fresh 32s" about 27-35k
Glad I missed it!!!!!!!!! I am getting too old for this shit. The heat is the main reason I don't go to these events anymore. Then I hear the price' of stuff that they were trying to sell there. Eveyone thinks their stuff is gold! The only show's that I will go to is the Primer Nats,(Oct) ,nice weather, MoonEyes Xmas show, (Dec), once again nice weather and just down the street from my new casa. The only show I haven't been to is the 'paso which I hear is not that hot as in temp! I did go to the L.A. Roadsters Show about like over 15 years ago and took pics of Billy G's (Rev) Cadzilla on it's 1st outing making the circuit. KNUX!
Anyone know what the price on the Retrotek green 3-Window was...nasty looking motor in it. The booth was swarmed every time I walked by so I just kept walking...
I looked around for some HAMB'ers but didnt see any , I think I did see Tetnus Shot's Hudsun...but no Tetnus. I did meet Link and Cherry out there; Its always good to see you both again. It was hot like hell...I felt like bacon in a frying pan.
I saw Boyd walking around by his booth. That dude is HUGE. They say the camera adds 10 lbs .. but in his case I think it subtracts at least 100 lbs. He was wearing a huge ORANGE hawaiian shirt so he can't be all that bad? I even got a picture of him and me. My life is now complete!
It's on my buddies camera. I'll post it as soon as I get it. I also got a picture with Lee the crazy dude that is always screwing around in the show. Be forewarned... I will not post the picture if it will be a source of mockery. Boyed and I are kindred spirits who's love of orange is like a castle wall that no HAMB'r shall destroy!!!!
was a fun show but way to hot i didnt even want to walk around beer in the shade was good though! was there with my wife in her 31 and my 50 shoebox
anybody by chance take any pics of a bad ass 57 pontiac chieftian or a red 40 ford truck "Zed" w/ a suicide front end in the swap meet area? its always cool seeing pics other people took of your car. oh yeah it was hot too... i've got raccoon eyes and a braclet for a week or so now.
thats rich... its guys like YOU that are jacking prices up... fuckin profiteers ie. the model A p/u you are pimping all over the place for $14.5k... the same exact truck that was sold as a hook up @ $7k due to a cute sob story. exactly what did you do to the truck to warrant an $8,000.00 increase??? rest assured anyone i know wont be floating anything your way, shame on YOU!
AMEN. please tell whats up with this? I thought I sold this to a friend who wanted something to enjoy, not for re-sale. and you ask whats up with the high prices?? I guess you got me good, to the tune of 8K !
had to throw some shots of the girlfriend in there, also my buddy got jimmy shine to sign the dash of his 40 ford.
