I spent the weekend in a desperate struggle with my own imagination. There was a lot to dream about. It seemed like every few minutes I was getting a text from a buddy at the Detroit Autorama or the Texas Thaw. It was as if each of them had a knife i... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.
Well I'm sorry you missed it. No more sorry than I am that I missed it I'm afraid. but to quote a famouse politician, "I feel your pain." No time now to look but I don't have to, you got good taste and I really like that little roadster as well.
Well damn... I'm stumbling and tripping around this morning like a drunken platypus. I'm not sure what the issue is and am not in a place to fix it. Just do a search in the main forum and have at it.
one choice....god damn thats a hard task, I narrowed it down to a coin toss between 2. Either Cory's all black 32 roadster or Jimmy's handbuilt Emerald Tide model A pick up. I stared at both of those for a very long time, in absolute awe.
thanks alot Ryan, You made my day. Just FYI the hilborn and blower set up with the 2' cragar drive and the headers are from Ohio George Montgomery's 1961 NHRA national winning willys before he switched to the Ford motor. goal is to drive it to Sins of steel in bare metal and have it fully painted and finished for next years autorama. the all black roadster upstairs has me wanting full hood and sides and everything black... my pick would be Jo Kerr's black 5 window
Oh Christ... If you paint that thing black, you'll have me to deal with forever. Black. Black. Black. Do it.
Jeo Kerr is a hero to me... hard working man who quietly sits in his shop fabbing creations..... drives that A coupe everywhere... a very modest fella with uber talent that courses thru his veins.... a true unsung hero.
Hard to choose just one. I love this model A roadster... But I saw this 36 at Indy and fell in love with it as well....
I must have driven past this lil' Deuce a thousand times,... and always stopped,.. or just gave it a long look,...... Dang ! this thing talked to me.......
Here you are Ryan,... these were taken by our very own 16 year old "Mattbee",.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=674928
I drove up to Detroit last minute on Thursday evening and as usual I'm sick when I get back. F Detroit....until next year! My heart wants the So-Cal Streamliner even though it's impractical... My head says go for the perfect '32 Sedan down in the basement so I can scoot the family around in. I'd also be able to sell the winter front grille insert off of it and but a roadster project which would be a toofer! This thing was perfect!
"Mine would be the 28/29 pictured above. It’s still under construction, obviously, but I can already hear that blower screaming in pain and the tires ripping up a backroad somewhere far out in the country. It’s an evil bastard and I love that about it. It just fits my present mood." I can imagine it fighting for traction on the salt.....Just has the look of a battle ready monster ready to leave its mark. Hope to see many like it at Speedweek. Thanks for the great image.
I really dig those pipe on the blown roadster. The black paint on the other is f-ing amazing too. DAMN!
I love that '28-'29 roadster as well. Killer car. Killer motor. Killer stance. What more does it need? (aside from finishing it..) But I really like this chopped Chevy too. At first, I looked at it and thought "Nice Ford" then I read a couple comments on that it was a Chevy and went back and noticed the belt lines weren't Ford. I'd have to flip a coin between the two.
Yeah, I agree with Jeffrey on the streamliner... it was amazing! I also loved the Jo Kerr built roadster which was sitting right next to his coupe.
Jeff, I agree with you totally on Jo Kerr! I went to his shop last year and he is a great craftsman with attention to detail. He will go far in this industry!! I love both of his builds that were there. One of my favorite cars there was Andersons 36. Just awesome!!
Yes Nate..... Kevin Andersons 36 was indeed a beauty,...never got a shot....but man it had the look and the vibe!
