Event Coverage "World Famous Swindler's" Poker Run Need Pix

I love that green '50........it's just perfect.

 

Bruce you should have sold it to me.Damn you know how to profile a car.

 

Thanks for the info Bruce. You made it good, dig the proportions.
Been into '50 Mercs lately. I'm pretty sure I need to get one some day.

This is the Merc I took all the measurements from, when I chopped my 49...........Thanks Bruce!!!!

 

I thought you took measurements from a Hudson?!?!

 

I designed that chop two years before I was born. You wouldn't believe how many people stole my prenatal ideas.............. I do love that Merc, not even a custom guy but respect the art.

 

They both even have gold engines, one flathead and one hemi. I wish they were both mine.

 

this is freakin cool!!!

 

I believe you also designed that pretty Pink tool kit you gave away!The Royalty money from that alone should finish your roadster!

 

This `T` touring belongs to my dad, He is 80 years old, built the car in a little over 3 months. V8 60 power, banjo rear, Chopped top with used top material. 20 inch plymouth rear wheels, 21 inch ford front wheels.

 

Hmm, all my favorite Northwest cars, really i think i have Photo's of all of them at different shows, If it wasnt for the detroit autorama i could say ATLEAST half of the photo's i took over the last 2 years have had these cars in them

 

sadayo,

The person who shot those video's must of had a six pack or two of beers, I was getting sea sick trying to watch them. This is one great run...............

CRUISER

 

Mercs are like the old saying about ***holes, now if you were a rich man of course you owned a Hudson, myself and keith are the only ones in the western United States with 'em. Only 3 Hudsons left in the U.S. and ones in a museum in New York. An interesting note, when I pulled the back seat in my Hudson there was a little br*** plaque that read: "To Elvis love Priscilla"

 

THAT is the coolest tattoo shop I've ever seen.

 

Time to finally get one *****, your up here anyway, stop in

 

So mean. I compliment your shop and you call Walter a *****...

 

I've read about you in the history books!

 

HEY HEY HEY

I'm not scared
I'm not
Really I'm not scared
No i'm not
no

no

 

Yawn........ we're Star belly Sneetches.....you boys ain't got a star

 

But Keith's is the only one allowed in Skagit county. Isn't there some kind of restraining order over your head like a dark cloud?

 

nah, not drunk, just young. She's 14.

 

I really like this sedan.....
Any details on it? Hamber's car?

 

Man all those cars are so lame. They dont have any cool skulls or spikes. I dont see a single tractor grill shell in the bunch. The PNW must really be full of lemmings that follow the traditional hod rod police? I find that style so confining and conformist. A working man surely can not afford to buy so much style and stance. Must be all checkbook rodders, hoarding parts so the little guy cant afford em.

 

I lived in arlington with my sister for four months and never seen any hot rods oh well I'm back in the Hot rod Kingdom again is there any more pictures of the green early 60's Poncho? or the gold 60' gm truck

 

We only bring our cars out when it rains or snows, the summer heat is too hot up here. The poker run is our season opener, end of season is the Ford picnic

 

So you've been here recently then?.......

 

No, not a HAMBer's car. That's Andre's ride. I believe it was a local hot rod in the Arlington area for years, but I could be wrong.

We called it the "dog pound" last weekend...Andre had like 6 dogs in there with him. ha ha.

 

MMMMM. How did I miss this post. SWEET, SWEET pics!!! Thanks for putting them up. Great cars and scenery.

 

No, Andre built that car from an old car he found in Seattle about four years ago. He drives that thing everywhere. It has a small block, automatic, and an eight inch posi.. He did a great job on that car but don't try to convince him because he's likely to kick your *** or at least yell at you. He found Al Capone's drivers license under the seat.

 

Damn Hillbillys anyway! We tend to keep the tractor grilles on the tractors , except for those of us with gennie mint Deuce grilles on our tractors of co****. And yes I'm a hoarder.
