Asphalt Invitational photos!

[zonkola]

It was a great show with more cool cars than could fit in my digital camera, but here's a taste:

[zonkola]

Cool pickup

[zonkola]

Hey, is that a small block Ford?

[zonkola]

It is!

[zonkola]

I like the early Ford customs the best.

[zonkola]

...but my new favorite might be this Lincoln. The details on this car were way tastier than the photo shows.

[crewcutkid]

I like the Ford sb. I wish more people dropped those in in lieu of chebbies. Looks like it was a lot of fun!
-Crew

[zonkola]

Lincoln detail.

[zonkola]

Nifty coupe.

[zonkola]

Peekup.

[zonkola]

Influenced by Stroker McGurk?

[zonkola]

HAMBer car you've seen before. It's still cool.

[zonkola]

Loud pipes deserve loud upholstry.

[zonkola]

Three window. I've always wondered why the windshield doesn't rate a mention...

[zonkola]

Unchopped Mercs look cool, too...

[zonkola]

Jive Bomber Jay's ride. His club the Vultures put on the show.

[zonkola]

AARPU4U

[slammed]

Cool! Nice ride's, you got taste. Need lot's more of these kind's of post's. No whine and cheese party here. Great work guy!

[zonkola]

A Vulture engine.

[zonkola]

Shiny paint. No, rusty patina! Um, no, shiny paint. Oh hell, I can't decide. What's for lunch?

[zonkola]

Sometimes I wish I were a Chevy/GMC six-cylinder guy so I could have my name on all my valve covers. Rocky--you feel me on this one, dawg?

[zonkola]

A-faced & boat-tailed. I'm thinking it's not stock.

[zonkola]

I wonder if Rudy knew what he was starting?

[zonkola]

Found: A Milner-inspired coupe that isn't piss yellow!

[zonkola]

Vulture Chris's Chevy.

[zonkola]

If I absolutely must get pulled over for speeding, I'd like it to be this guy.

[zonkola]

This roadster just got freshened at Gordini's Garage, complete with nifty paint job.

[zonkola]

These guys pretty much defined the lower and upper limits of the show.

[zonkola]

A pickup very similar to my soon-to-be daily driver F1--I'm hoping mine will be finished this month...

[zonkola]

...and this probably sums up the prevailing attitude of the show. Over and out!

[SamIyam]

Much thanks to Jay Ward and the Vultures car club for putting this show on.

I was totally stoked to see that bass drove out from Texas to the show! Got to meet and hang with great people like Jimmy White and Preacher... and others from the HAMB.

Here's my sample of iron.

Sam.

[SamIyam]

More...

[SamIyam]

Even More...

[SamIyam]

More, more, more...

[bufordtjustice]

OMG i love that gray 46(?).....man there is something about it that it is just perrrrfect to me...and that Rivi..dont get me freakin started...more perfection...Thanks for the pics guys...damn good stuff

Greg

[SamIyam]

4Q... duh! I get it!!

[zonkola]

Yeah, the grey '46/'47/whatever was gorgeous in person. Awesome paint on that one.

[SamIyam]

I love this truck...

The young kid driving it was stoked about it... he fabbed up mounts to put a 383 Mopar in it that flat out rumbles... clean install, detailed... neat kid, neat truck.

Plans are to drop it with a Mustang II... I forgot to tell him about Industrial Chassis... next time I see him I'll send him Steve's way.

Sam.

[SamIyam]

This guys rear suspension had us all gawkin'

[SamIyam]

Mo'

[SamIyam]

There was so much to see... about half the iron was under the bowling alley in the parking garage... prolly won't see any pics 'cause it was dark under dere...

[SamIyam]

Last for now...

[zonkola]

Sam, it looks like you shot all the cars I didn't. I didn't get many in the enclosed garage area either, for the same reason. Anyway, another quality annual event to look forward to!

[mikes51]

Here are some shots from the garage area. Most came out dark but I got something out of them with Photoshop.

[mikes51]

.

[mikes51]

Some serious bug catching on this front end.

[mikes51]

nice ford outside

[mikes51]

olds grill and buick? lights

[mikes51]

Another look at those wild frame rails from another angle.

[mikes51]

last one

[LeadSledMerc]

Hey guys, thanks for all of the pictures. Nice coverage of a lot of differant stuff.
That looks like one hell of a day that was put on. How many cars were there?

[SamIyam]

I wouldn't wear a shirt like this, mainly because I have a lot of fun at Goodguys' shows and respect what they have done for the hobby... not to mention laugh at jokers who use the "Greedyguys" term... but it was kind of funny to see it, none the less.

And why didn't they call it the ROB and corruption association??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

['Flyin' Dutchman']

Is this Brett Reed's car?

I'm talking nomenclature. A three-window coupe actually has four windows--1 rear, 2 side, and 1 front. I guess you could say a windshield doesn't qualify as a window, but it feels like splitting hairs to me. Doesn't matter anyway--I don't expect the term to change anytime soon.

[Scrub]

It's called a three window yet there are four windows. Always kinda wondered that myself...and which window exactly is the one that isn't counted...

whoops...just a tad slow there...haha

ha ha i had problems with that when i was a kid but if you think about it the windshield is never refered to as a window you roll down you back window or your side window ...but never open your front window ...its alway open the windshield???? i guess its just a name game???

[SamIyam]

"The front glass is called a windshield... not a window" Was the explanation I got years ago.

That coupe sounded HEALTHY. Someone said the chassis was under his Bonneville car... he "detuned" the motor and then found the coupe body for it.

Sam.

[Preacher]

big thanks to the vultures for hosting this event... we loved getting to hang with you all, it was worth every mile of the 1300 we drove this weekend to be there... awesome cars, really encouraging ideas and the quintessential types of people that make car culture fun.

thanks jay and the rest of the vultures for putting this together... it was amazing, and we'll be there next year

[lownrusty]

Yeah Bass was up here for the show, got to do some drinking with him , and I'm sure he's got some stories to tell about fridays trip to the bars.

That thing sounds healthy indeed!! I've seen the car in Paso and at B'ville 2 years ago...

It's an awesome piece of machinery!

[Baron Von Mike]

I had fun at this non-Carnival car show. Many thanks to The Vultures for a great time.

Here are a few random pics, first my old shoebox. Used to be white. Ferby Miguel of the BASHR's model car club now owns it and has done a swell job.

[Baron Von Mike]

Nice flames

[Baron Von Mike]

What can I say, I like trucks. This is Wes' 40, of the Retarded Sparks.

[Baron Von Mike]

...

[Baron Von Mike]

Vinnie of the Retarded Sparks has a nice 38.

[Baron Von Mike]

I like mills. I always seem to forget to take pics of the rest of the car!

[Baron Von Mike]

Couple of rods in the "garage" area.

[Baron Von Mike]

[Baron Von Mike]

The other one. Boat rear end. I really dug this ride.

[Baron Von Mike]

again

[Baron Von Mike]

Took pics of this for truck ideas. He had an exposed Mustang II front clip. Looked a little too biggish for me.

[Baron Von Mike]

more good stuff

[Baron Von Mike]

Like the pipes, but I'd end up burning myself.

[Baron Von Mike]

Now if this thing lit up too....

[Baron Von Mike]

Beautiful ride from The Swanx.

[Baron Von Mike]

Love '59s. Took this pic for the sparkly bed cover.

[Baron Von Mike]

I assume this is a Vultures truck.

[Baron Von Mike]

More mills, good stuff. Nice to see rodded inline 6's represent too. Unfortunately I don't have a pic of Chris' winning flathead mill!

[Baron Von Mike]

Best of show. Aw man, those pipes. Notice the Eddie Meyer fuel block.

[Baron Von Mike]

Rodded early flathead. Bohnalite heads.

[Baron Von Mike]

From the other side.

[Baron Von Mike]

Simple.

[Baron Von Mike]

When mounting a later flathead in an old ride use the truck water pumps for a cleaner look in my opinion. Or maybe this was a truck motor.

[RF]

Enough Flatheads...Sam, whose Kuncklehead is that? Had thoughts of "twisting" my tips like that, but didn't think it would come off right--just got proved wrong!

[SamIyam]

Don't know... they guy duck walked it in about mid-day.

It looked like he was wearing an old football helmet. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Anyway, it was a bitchen bobber, a crowd formed around it almost emediately.

Sam.

[Big Dirty]

Sam, Guys name is Max and this is only one of three truely amazing choppers he has in his collection. I've known Max almost all my life, first he started building 49-54 Chevy trucks, then he found his real talent bulding bikes like these.....really a good guy!!!!!

[KIRK!]

I'm sure this will get lost in the mix here but...way to guys! Looks like it was a BIG success. If I hadn't been in Columbus I'd have been able to see it in person. I'm sure it will only get bigger and better. Congratulations!

[Chuck R]

Jay and the Vultures did a great job. Lots of great cars, people and fun. The bowling alley is the perfect back drop for the event.
Thanks for the invitation, my son and I had a blast.

Chuck

lownrusty = Max Schaff (sp?)? Paul, you fucker, I looked at your profile after I posted! Sorry...

[Detonator]

Does that very first r-p/u at the top of the post belong to a HAMBer? I've seen it in a lot of Nor Cal event photos lately. I'd like to talk to the guy about his top, I really like the profile. Anyone know who it is?

[primered54]

Damn... I wish I could've been there! It's times like these that I kick myself for relocating out of Oakland! Next year I gotta make it... I'm proud of them all for putting on an enjoyable show and adding to a great weekend for car fans in the Bay. The Strangers show should not be missed either!

So Jay, you gonna give us a promoters perspective on the show?

How did it go?

On our end, it was a HUGE success.

Sam.

[Jim]

Sam, I see that Jay had posted this.
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=471402&page=3&view=collap sed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1

Everyone that I know had a good time, unfortunatly my sons appendix decided that it wanted out Friday night and I had to add this to the list of missed events this year!!

[redpunk]

Hot Damn, what a awesome bunch of cars. Looks like a great time. Thanks for posting pix..

[Jeem]

I can hardly breathe when I see that '46-7-8 grey Ford.

We pretty much broke even- So thats good. As long as we don't loose a bunch of money,I'm happy. Nobody got killed, hurt, no fighting...I'm happy. We'll do it again next year, and try to keep it just as cool and small.

Thanks for all the kind words Sam... It was nice seeing our friends at the show.

PS- Anybody wanna buy a T-shirt? we got a few left! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[thatredcaroutside]

Great coverage of the show.
When I saw the gray 46 I did a double take and thought
someone had shot a picture of my 46 in black and white. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/archive/TJJ/SnapShots/ReadersRides/4646.jpg
This was 5 years ago in Louisville, I wish I would have peeled the lid back in Austin at the roundup on Saturday morning and put it on the bed at the Austin Hotel while I was at the show.
