Event Coverage The 2014 Portland Roadster show photos

I should say my photos as there may be more threads by now.

I didn't go down until Sunday and the 332.2 mile round trip was worth it. Probably not the absolute best Portland Roadster show but a good one none the less. While there were indeed a number of cars that had been in the show year in and year out there seemed to be a lot less "filler" cars filling up the back rooms and the two main rooms seemed to have a bit more room as the cars weren't jammed in quite as tight as in past years.

Here goes.

You going on a "road trip and leaving me home?




Lots of fine wood.










Yuppers, that is where the good ones come from.

 

Ot but it kept the kids young and a bit older entertained by sitting inside and listening to the blown hemi sounds. The little farts were grinning ear to ear when they got out.


Inlaid bed done by the trucks owner.














Ain't easy being grunt green and looking good at the same time

 

Another look at the green truck.

Lots of green trucks there though.

 

Nicely done clone




















Nova gasser


Stone stock




That's it for tonight, There's lots more but it's past my bedtime.

The album is here http://s173.photobucket.com/user/mr48chev/library/2014 Portland Roadster?sort=2&page=1
Don't look if you are afraid to see OT rigs as I got most of the cars, trucks and bikes in the show but still have about 50 to put in the album.

 

Thanks for the pictures. I've got some I may add if it's ok and I can find the time.

 

great pics! thanks

 

Nice lead photo of my '36 Roadster

Thanks

Da Flash

 

thanks for posting.

 

Not a lot of primer there!

Thanks Mister.

 

That will work. That green AD truck looked great. IVe got a number of photos in the album with the link in the bottom frame of post #4

 

Outside of the display cars in vendors displays the primer cars were over in the third room which starts about page 15 in my album

Over where the Emperors were hiding in the dark close to the Orca Betties.

 

Thanks again.

 

A few more now that the airport wifi is up and running.










Where's April May?

 

The pinstripers corner was going strong




The 54 Buick that Bill Ross built a number of years ago still looking great. The current owners had it on their showboard that Bill had built the car, not something you always see with a car that has been around a while.







I watched this car race when I was 13

Off into the Culture hall

The Emperors showed up with a batch of cars

 

Mr Model T and his fearless sidekick were there with their T's Many of us followed the build on the green one and it now has a fresh banger all set to terrorize owners of new super cars when they get a "ride".




You gotta have a pair of big ones to drive this thing down the freeway at 65.



Nice Ranchero back in the corner by the model cars.

















This truck changes every time I see it.

Back in the other room headed to the door


For five bucks extra you could get a ticket to the gun show.


Watched him arm strong it out of the parking space in the rain on my way back to the car.



That's it, click on any photo and check the album if you want to see the rest of it.

 

Anyone see a Rat Rod called
"The Beast" there?

 

Excellent pics, thanks for sharing.

 

There were only a couple those things there and I think that was one of them but I didn't take a photo of it.

 

Thanks For Sharing ! That must have been one hell of a show the quality was fantastic . once again Thanks !!

 

I was there Sunday as well and took nearly the same pics. Pretty good show. The first hall was impressive in terms of workmanship but I think the 3rd hall was the best; real hot rods. The orange '32 5W in the 3rd hall is almost exactly how I was going to build mine. I love orange but I may re-think my colour choice now. Damn! In the 2nd hall the "Deuce for the Road" car does anyone recognize the wheel covers it was wearing? I'm thinking '56 Dodge Lancer.

 

Thanks for taking the time to post. The quality of the builds out there in the PNW is pretty high.

 

Thanks , great pics, looks like it was a good show.

 

Thank you for posting... good job

Nice shot of Russ Meeks '55 Crown in the parking lot, that is quite a car !!! Thanks for posting those great photos.
