Event Coverage Rolling Bones Open House '11 AFTER party pics

X2
that 34 is my all time favorite hot rod.

 

No doubt about that, I'm sure I saw you some time during the night though haha

 

Amazing work! Those guys are my heroes!

 

I'd like to get out there sometime too.

 

Those guys inspire me! Want to finish my 34 in a
similar fashion that those guy finish their cars...traditional to the bone! Awesome!

 

awesome pics - that Deluna coupe is sweeet -thanks for taking the time to share the pics !!!

 

Looks like a great time was had by all! I always figured a "****shutt" grille would look good on a "Hot Rod", and I'm not usually a fan of Tractor grilles at all. My grandfather worked in the ****shutt plant in Brantford Ont. for many years.

 

so slick

 

Excellents Pic's....

I never would have even considered yet imagined a tractor (****shot) grill would look great in a hot rod, however; the work the Rolling Bones did with the tractor grill turned out freakin' amazing.......

 

Love the "Bones" cars

 

So what does she have tattoed on her feet???

 

Good to meet you guys - well worth the trip all the way from England!

Three new builds made their public debut this year and an old favourite was also on display.

George Poteet's '34...





**** DeLuna's 5W with ****shutt tractor grille - an unbelievable amount of work has gone into making the grille shell fit...











Jorge Zaragosa's 3W with Jeff Norwell artwork...









Peter Guida's AV8...







I'll post some more photos later.

Regards

Jon, nice meeting you also...Jack

 

Here are the rest of the photos. First up is this SCOT-blown flattie built by Jim "Mr Nitty Notty" Fleming for Richie Whalen's 3W...





Billy O (centre) and Dennis Varni (right) giving it the 'once-over'...



Another close up on the test bed - sure sounded good when Jim fired it up...



Jim (left) and Richie (right)...



Another Nitty Notty flathead, this one for the '32 Bonneville roadster when it's to be driven from NY to Bonneville and back this August...



Artwork everywhere, this one by Jeff Norwell...



Here's Jeff...



There were many artists/photographers present, including Chuck Vranas...



Michael Allen Ross (right) shown here with Keith Cornell...



Scott Fisk...



...and I should include Larry O'Gorman (right below). Each of the cars built by the Bones now has a Certificate of Authenticity and a copper ID tag designed by Jeff Norwell and engraved by Larry, a master engraver who engraves the plates for the Canadian Mint. Larry is holding one of the tags although you can't really see it in the photo.



Here's Ken (another artist!) presenting his own LSR record certificate from Maxton to Donny of the High Speed Division (who we beat last year) as a consolation prize (that's Keith Cornell on the left, Mr Nitty Notty in the middle and Richie on the far right)...



Here's Billy O of the HSD with the loser's spoils...



Lastly, here's how the Bones decide whose round it is - funny how Billy O always loses...
