Great pics Povertyflats,You even made me and Bobk look young.
Enjoyed meeting you,Oh!I really wanted to run that chev truck but it just didn't work out.

 

Oklahoma farm truck is way cool.The utube video of him racing a camaro is awesome .After racing that truck I bet those guys want to go hide from there friends,LOL.

 

HA HA! If I could make people look young I would have a clinic in Beverly Hills.......

 

Thanks for all the pics everyone posted!

If anyone have more photos of the Bill Hines' chop, I'd be happy to see them too.

 

Great pictures. I will try to post some of mine later. It was my wife and I's first time at this show and it was awesome! We will be back again and hopefully bring a car next year.

 

what did he say when you called?

 

Xlnt Pictures...thanks for sharing!

 

xcellent coverage,watched the slideshow last night all 554 of em.

 

Thanks for the pics Paul and company. That show is such a great event, look forward to making it out next year.

 

As always...what a damn fine time! Awesome machines, fantastic people. I'll get some pics up too.

 

My first time also. My wife and I both agreed that it was the best show we have ever attended. Certainly motivating me to get that Model A done in time for next year.

Wife's favorite: The drags. She plans to race whatever we bring next year.

My favorite: The chop. How many masters can work on one car at the same time? Young and old...all worked in harmony together.

Looks like every one a had a fun time cheers!

 

#### Don't have a video but the pics prove that Plowboy will flogg the Punk !! Seems he made one run and the throttle gagged !! I think it's cause he had Both Feet On The Gas !! Any how a few quick repairs and he was back in action. Something about one little thottle cable running EIGHT CARBS >>>>.

 

Engine Pro 5x,

I am no computer genius but here is the video on YouTube of when Aaron and I ran down the old airstrip.

Well, I don't have a lot of pics so I might as well add them on here...

Mark Moriarity with his shoes on driving his Chevy on one of our dinner excursions. I think I am rubbing off on him. Before he would only drive it in his socks so he wouldn't scratch the chrome on the pedals. I was afraid to even SIT in it!

A HAMBer showing us how it should be done at 4 am in the host hotel parking lot. I think he was just warming up, if he keeps up the good work, he should be ready for the HAMB drags in a month.

If you didn't go to the model car tent you missed out on some REALLY cool stuff. This fella Danny made all of these models from Copper and Brass from scratch, really unbelievable! He only makes about one a year and has upwards of 300 hours in each of them. That is one of his motors in Johnny Sparkle's hand. There was over 80 parts to it. There were also a bunch of cool custom plastic models in there. A lot of people don't know, but there was a $500 prize for the best kustom model. Maybe next year some more people will enter and go for the money!

Yeah, I ran the punk a couple of times and the throttle kept slipping on the shaft so I gave it up.....

 

Hey Aaron,

On the way home we were laughing about ya taking a picture of him. I said don't be
surprised if it gets posted on the HAMB......

It was kool watching kruizng around in the bubble top....

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Thank you, beautiful pictures of beautiful people.

 

so that was YOU in that fast little hotrod. I was bummed that the Willys was a leaker. I had YOU, the 72 Chevy truck, the 52(?) Chevy truck and the Willys truck picked out as the ones to beat. I had the confidence to get it done, but the Willys coupe was a leaker. Damned Cornfed Elephant stepped on my foot too!

 

with pictures like this, the event sells itself!

 

great shots, Travis. Looking forward to the vids

 

31av8, what a cool picture of the combo work on the chop peeking thru the side window, Zowie!! Master Hines is my ultimate metal artist of all time. I loved the new new artists with the vets, incredible experience for all to enjoy. Monsterflake, he was just resting his eyes for a moment!! Thanx!! ~Sololobo~

 

Thanks Sololobo. I was cursing the old Fuji 3800 all day, but managed to get a few decent shots. The "shutter" is too slow and the apeture too small for a dark, shady park. Time for a SLR.

Meanwhile, here are two more:

Hines assessing progress...



Masterson adjusting the door post...

 

Looks like I need to do a better screening process before I invite buddies to go,he doesn't remember a thing
