My GOODGUYS INDY photos....better late than never!

Well I didn't get a ton from the show itself because I was on the Hot Rod Of The Year competition reliability run on Friday, then it rained Saturday and Sunday. The people out there rock, coming out in the rain anyway to see cars. Well here ya go...

Bitchin!




One of the guys on the 120-mile reliability run.


THE MAN...Rich Guasco flogging the 1961 AMBR winner on the reliability run.


The view from the back of the track '32.


Here's the view I had for about 3 hours...COOL!






This was badass!

 

Wicked inliner!

 

Who the hell are these guys?

...and these guys?


Guasco getting ready to beat the shit out of his roadster. Did I mention he also drove it from NorCal to Indy? That rules!


I WANT THIS!




High dollar, but right on!


Neat truck, but goofy overdone fake patina. Please stop the fake patina people.


This guy was hiding this beauty in the corner.

 

I loved this modified. Lots of nice details, as you can see.








Not super traditional but VERY cool! Does anyone know the owner?






Old school BLING!

 

The same car as earlier but with the hood closed. Hell yeah!


Yes, a Henry J that's not a gasser.


Hey, that car looks familiar. Dude, you were a trooper, sticking it out in the rain!!!






This car was built from SCRATCH. The guy started when he was 19 and it took him four years to do. By scratch, I mean SCRATCH! As in every bit of sheetmetal (except he grille shell) including the cowl, and the frame...everything. Watch for this kid in the future. Humble and talented guy.

 

Cool Pics!

 

Great pics, thanks.

On The Black Falcon Wagon, I Now The Guy Who Built It He Sold It For About 12k A Year Ago. Joey Johnson From Floyds Knob In. Hes A Mini Truck Guy

 

I was driving the Sharp Equipped A......it's owned by a friend of mine. Built flattie, war plane seats, ammo box console. Very, very cool. But at 6'2" I had to have the driver's door open in order to manage the clutch pedal.

 

Do you have contact info? I'd like to pick his brain about the suspension. I'd like to build one similar but with steelies and bias plys. Thanks.

 

Lucky bastard!

 

DAMN!!!

Any more pics of that killer little scratch-built silver modified???

That is the coolest thing I've seen a while!!!!

 

Awesome Kirk! That has got to be the best show so far this year. Either that or your just the best photog! Did you have to wear a bib to catch all the drool? Finally a show that's not all rusted ass draggers. Thanks for sharing.

 

A few more of the silver modified. We'll be doing a feature on him and the car.

 

What's this kids name. If he made that car as you say he did.....at 19.... I'm shit.

 

Thanks for the additional pics of the little Tinman Mod! If it were me, I'd lose the shift knob, but otherwise, it is PERFECT! That car deserves all the press it can get!

 

he's not 19, he's like 24. took him 4 years to build, so he started it when he was 20. he started doing metal work at 18 i think he said.

i'm 16 now and started metal work a year ago, so hopefully i'm in good shape for the future.

 

Thanks for including the Ram Rods in your cool photos. I can see photo HOG Bob in the back ground.

 

That silver mod is BADASS!! Hard to believe a kid his age,today would take the time necessary to build such a detailed car. Most guys his age today don't want to take the time to do anything. What magazine will it be featured in? Can't wait to see what he does next!

 

Thanks for the pics.....stan

 

Thanks for the pics Kirk. Once again I am impressed by your photo skills. I love the silver modified and the shift knob, it's a tinman!

 

Thanks Kirk. Great pics. The 1st 2 pics are of 29sedanman's Tudor. It is one really nice detailed piece...and thank you for the Hambster team pics, (coulda cut his assholiness Bob outta the Ramrods pic)... even tho it rained all day Sat/Sun, we still got 3 runs on Fri...we'll be back.

 

Goodguys Gazette

 

The green modified you liked belongs to a friend of mine here in Muskegon. While on the reliability did you get to meet and talk with Rich Gausco? He's a hell of a nice guy and a real rodder from the word go.

 

Actually Rich is a friend. I met him through Goodguys - he comes around a lot. And, yes, he's about the nicest guy you'll meet. A no bullshit kind of guy who's done it all.

I must have drooled over that modified a dozen times over the weekend. It's amazing.

 

I'LL GET HIS NUMBER FOR YA
​

 

Thanks Kirk, great pics as usual.

 

Yup, great pix...got any more of that green modified?
