B-ville pics

Thus concludes the Bonneville coverage, more pics in the morning.

 

This thing is incredible. FIrst time seeing it.

 

Thanks for all the great pics Jimmy!

 

Looks like you had an awesome time!

 

Great pictures, I need to visit the old air base next time! Thanks for posting.

 

Dream trip, great post.

 

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing 'em

 

Hey Jimmy B great pix,those shot at Yosemite National Park are postcard pix..looks like ya had a great time, next week Iam heading over can't wait..More please...Rod.

 

On Friday we headed east for the return trip I didn't take as many pics as I did most of the driving. While I was driving Curt started to doze then woke up and said turn here, I did, this looks a bit different than what I remember 25 miles in we thought this isn't right we ended up in a small mining town called Silver Peak. We then realize we turned too early so we turned about after trying to find the other road out (no signs telling you where the fuck the out road is). Nice little detour, haha at least I got to see a Barrel nose '39 Ford C.O.E. a '50? Chev coupe and a few early 60s Chev 2 doors, plus some old mine sites

Wednesday we headed over to Terry Baldwin's as I had organized to stay with Terry and his family. Curt, Terry and me talked for a while, about midday Curt had to head for home as he had to be back to work Thursday. I thanked Curt for the awesome time and incredible adventure I really can't thank him enough.

Jamie, awesome pics.
I'm bummed we didn't get to hang out on the salt, ...but I'm happy you found your quarter panels. The boot hinges and bracket pieces were probably more useful than that rusty sheetmetal

 

That was one hellofatravelog...........some of the best that I have ever seen...sometimes it takes a "visitor" to get the best out of the USA...........

Thanks

Mark

 

amazing trip Jimmy.

 

Mike, I too was bummed we couldn't meet, I would of liked to have shouted you a few beers. I am heading back over next year for Bonneville, damn SALT fever! You heading back next year?
Yeah the boot hinges and brackets are kinda the only usable parts, everyone joked they were fine when they arrived and the salt did a number on them. But at least they will be good for patterns so I can make a new pair and then they can retire to the shed wall.
Cheers
Jamie

 

So Saturday Terry and me went over to Kiwi Kev's. Kev has some wicked stuff hot rod Heaven

Thus concludes Jimmy's World Tour of the USA. Thanks for looking, See ya next year!!!!

 

Jimmy B. KILLER. Get home safe. Slim

 

Jimmy B -

Been waiting for you to finish up posting all of your pics before I replied ... now that your "done", all I can say is ...

This is one awesome "Adventure thread" (right up there with hotrodladycrusr, ChevyGirlRox, 390cad, & Bass) ... well done mate!

Love all the pics (well, except one from PB that you can go ahead and delete).

Glad you made it to Yosemite.

Looks like there were still quite a few cars running at B'ville (on Wednesday & Thursday) ... You got some great shots of the two cars my friend Justin Walsh piloted this year (the Mariani Farms #346 A/FR and George Poteet's "Blowfish" #282 B/FCC & #2821 B/GCC).

Again, it was great meeting you at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance ... just wish we could have talked a little longer (I meant to ask you about George Zaft) ... but like you said (in your "PB Pics" thread), you were still a bit jet-lagged ... and PB was pure sensory overload!
