Event Coverage [[[STRIPER vs BAD BOB - B'ville pics]]]

OK. I'm going up against Bad Bob. I have my own Bonneville pics and while I'm a bit late to start posting... here they are.

In fact, I just didn't want to barge in on someone elses thread so I thought I'd start my own. I don't have as many as Bob (maybe a couple hundred) but I'll see how we fare. I'll put a few up and guage the interest. Sorry for the late entry

Pete



This Chev was one of only about 3 that if it was mine I couldn't put it on the salt. Beautiful







This T was magic. We hung out with these guys for the first few days. It belongs to a guy called Steve who was around when it all began. He bought it a few years back from a friend who built it in the 60s. Just did some minor finishing and drove it. You need to spend time looking at it. All steel body, 364 nailhead with 6 x 97s, 4 speed, Old Halibrands with spindle mounts on front, cheater slicks and quickchange and original diamond tuft upholstery. Man it's all real hot rod.







Anyone that knows me knows I like a nailhead

 

For Bad Bob











Irene from So What speed shop blew the Bejeepers out of her poor little 4 banger







This guy's grandad started building this car in the '20s. He had cool pics of his grandad with his mates standing around it back then. He's slowly finishing it. unbelievable workmanship

 

Did I mention I like nailheads?





Can't take too many pics of this car





We sold our bikes before we left. Never go to Bonneville without a bike, or something with wheels

Someone somewhere must have more on this.

 

That's a nice batch of interesting photos. A guy (or gal) who likes Bonneville can never get their fill of photos from there.
