Event Coverage Salt Flats Speed Shop 2nd anual Bonneville Open House

Ya, a couple. They are my idol shop, great guys!. I hope I can direct a portion of what I do to building Bonneville styled complete cars. Im hoping my sedan will show people that I can build a full car, as well as sheet metal work.

 

Well you can count me in for some work when I start my '32 dude if you don't mind being a part of drag inspired stuff too. You're work is top notch.

 

Todd Gribble and I are planning to leave Mesa EARLY thur, the 12 to beat the AZ heat. His flattie 34 5W and my 50s survivior Deuce 5w. Too late for us, see you at the salt!! We should be camping at the "Bend", where the ACTION is!!

 

Id love to work on a 32' 5 window whatever direction it goes. Its not that often I get the chance.

 

Defiantly see you guys on the salt. Your more than welcome to swing by later. Ill be on the salt Friday afternoon on to Saturday. So maybe the following week if you haven't already gone home.

 

Will see want we can do!!

 

Only 3 weeks from today. Im getting super excited!

 

And I'm getting super bummed. Wish I could be there and your open house.

 

Chris,
Can't wait, bringing my red hat buddy Dallas Volk, his family races a '29 Roadster, going after the B record this year, 230 something. His dad Larry (Pres of 2Club) is building this: '29 Traditional Rod in Progress story
I'd like to bring some kind of treat or something, I'll email you.
Chris

 

Bag of cash?

 

Only two more days till the event. Ive been doing more to the shop to get things ready (things I have put off till now). Been putting up signs, and lighting. Also got my 3 prints hung up of the photo-shoot on the sedan.

 

Shop looks good dude!

I should be there sometime after noon, barring any unforseen circumstances.

Chris, what time do you think things will get busy?

 

There should be a good group of hot rodders in the afternoon, and it will probably get really busy from 4:00 on. Especially when all the local people here get off work.

 

Nah, but these brownies are just as good as cash. haha

Can't wait for this Chris. Just saw a Facebook post by Nick Hoesing out in the midwest of the Rolling Bones crew at a gas station heading this way!

Salt Fever!!!

 

I won't be there til Friday,so I guess i'm gonna miss it...

 

You got anything going on there Thursday? I would be able to make that. Wed. is a little early for me. Would love to see your stuff. If not I think I'll head over to Austin to the Alviso Roadsters shindig. Will you be driving the 32 sedan out to B-ville?

 

Ill be here at the shop on Thursday, but there will be just my stuff here. Your more than welcome to come stop by if it works into your schedule.

Unfortunately the sedan isn't up and running yet. So I will be shooting for Bonneville next year.

 

I'll be there, along with my dad Mac. I think you've already met him. I can't say for sure, but I'm about 90% sure he and I built that Ford V8 neon sign hanging in your shop.

Looking forward to it!

 

No '32 running this year? Bummer man! There's always Sept or October events...

 

Im leaving tomorrow morning. Dont know if I will make it in time taking all the side ways and by-ways through Nevada and Utah. Will try.

 

Wish I could have made the trip this year! HOPEFULLY next year I'll be rolling out with the Bones guys in the roadster. Shop looks great Chris! Have a good time!

 

See you tonight.......

 

Here are some pics from the open house. Thanks to Chris for doing this. It was fun and there were some cool cars/people there.

 

Last two...

It was a good atmosphere and definitely a good primer to get people psyched for the salt.

 

Wow! Looks like fun. I wish I could have made it.

 

Thanks for putting this on Chris!

 

Good to meet you Chris. That was a cool little get together. There were some really cool cars there. I love the shop.

Brent- Is that your little RPU with the quick-change rear end? That's a cool little truck!

 

No, it's not mine... it is very cool though. When will you and your car be at the salt? I'd like to meet you and check that car out...

 

We're headed out early Friday morning, staying at the Nuggett Friday night and will be on the salt all day Saturday. I may go back out Sunday, still debating. We will have my dad's red/white '55 chevy, MAYBE my blue '40, and POSSIBLY my black '34 roadster. Still working on both my cars, so it's kinda a mad dash for the finish line! Let's
