That was a great show, big turnout, met a lot of hambers , traffic was a bitch thru L A to and from San Diego. The next one should be huge. Groucho do you have a metal flake top?

Anybody else notice that the "Jalepeno" needs a panhard bar? The rear axle was offset about 4-5 inches to the driver's side when I saw it. Definitely a high-impact super-lowboy!
FONZI

Jalepeno has a panhard bar, the bracket bent. He straigtened it out pretty good with my channel locks, but looks like more gusseting is needed. Bitchin car, and a cool guy.

It was a great time!

Zibo's Shop is probably the most unique I have ever seen (very cool).

I am sorry had to leave as well...

The Bus Strike (I guess) made the ride home a real bitch...

I'm in for next year (no stocker next time)!

I have pics on starphoto. Took 70 pics but only 58 came out.Two things I learned, My camera sucks and my picture taking abillites also suck. The pics are on pages 2-4. Let my know if we should start a second thread for Primer Nats pics only. Here is the link.

59Ford, nice pix. My buddy told me that there were 2 clean 1955 Pontiacs. Did you happen to get any pix of them?

I really liked that Blue '36 on page 2... One of the lowest non-bagged cars I have seen in years.

Pics are cool enough! Look slike you had most of my favorites in there. As far as the choppers went, it seemed like every time one really grabbed my attention, 4 out of 5 times it was powered by a Triumph Twin. I must be going British-queer or something.

Don't tell my wife.

I think I had a pic of one , but I found out that you can't take a pic looking towards the sun( yes I'm retarded). So I deleted them because they were way to dark.
I didn't relize that Watson's Grapevine still existed until saturday. http://photo.starblvd.net/~59ford/2-5-3.jpg

That's what i thought, but this looked spot on. If this was the clone then it must have been done awhile ago(body was cracking,). The dude had a photo album showing the history of it. It was kind of beat.

the marroon 47 ford was built by sam foose years ago. its pretty rad. havent seen it out in awhile.
Kilroy
10-20-2003, 06:32 PM
Ohhhhh!! That's the same car?

The color looks different. I saw it in person at Be-Bop Burgers years ago. It's the one with the checkered firewall right?

That car was parked right behind us at Bonniville I never did find out who's it was.

I believe that two clones of the Grapevine have been built, and both were at Paso around 1999. As I recall, this (lighter) car replicates the earlier version of Grapevine, and the other (darker purple) car was built by the late upholsterer Manuel Arteche to look like the later Grapevine. Both were way cool.

OK. It has the original license plate on it. I even whipped out my old mags that have it in it and that is the same plate. At the show I looked at both front and back plates to make sure they are the same #'s and they were. I really think this might be orginal. We might have to start another thread to get to the bottom of this.
59FORD
10-20-2003, 07:43 PM
If you look at the plate it is FNN 551. Same #'s front and rear. Find an old picture and the plates match the orginal car.

I'm dropping the subject now. Here it says that it is a clone. http://www.customrodderweb.com/events/0311cr_paso/
Some how he scored on the plates.
FONZI
10-20-2003, 07:59 PM
Yep it is a clone. I have met the owner. Real nice guy from Oregon. The original car was ditched into a ditch in Oregon may years ago. The guy who built this car is a hobbiest. It is a home built car. He and Larry are friends. I spoke to him quite a bit about the Olds fenders as I have them on my car now (thanks to Radshit).
