    The wife and I got out for lunch and decided to take the the Hot Rod. Nothing special, just a great afternoon to feel some wind in your face and smell some gas fumes. Even got a bite to eat along the way. These pics were taken in front of the old Couch's Barbeque in Ooltewah. Est. 1949.

    This was our first ride of the year, so figured I'd post a few pics. Feel free to post your Hot Rod pictures from along the road.

    Later,
    Kevin

    Since I don't have a street rod right now , I can't really imagine the feeling ...but I'm envious as hell . I'm sure you can't wipe the smile off your face . Good start to spring !

    Were you making engine sounds....? ;)

    Hope you're able to get out soon, the weather has been great this week. I'm ready for warm weather.
     
  9. Just hobbling around on the cane and using a lot of 4 letter words but really enjoying the nice weather!:D HRP
     
  10. 10° above the donut. Last year it was 75° here & I had the mod out, but a month later & I still had it out but was driving in the freezing rain to a in-door show.
     
  11. Roadster looks awesome out on the road.....not to hijack your post but do you pack those headers with something? Mine are wayyy too loud.

    Took the coupe out for breakfast last Saturday.
    Would have taken it for green beer, St Patty's day,this afternoon but it's back up on jack stands to adjust the shifter and re-do fender welting.
     
  13. Lucky you! I have mine inna million pieces yet!
     
  14. 87* here in Kingman. Should have mine on the road in about 60 days or less.

    Thanks. Mine have 4" Schoenfeld dirt track style mufflers in the collectors, it's still WAY loud. Probly wouldn't be to bad with a stock engine, but the Nailhead is far from stock.

    You can see where the coating changes colors.

  16. Got mine out last night for a couple cruise ins. Hasn't been out since November. Took the long way home and had a great time. I even got to drive my off topic classic truck to hot rod lunch. Pretty good day now that I think about it!

    Yep, I had the coupe out yesterday, it was sunny and 70. Today we got 2" of snow and in the low 30's........ Come on springtime!
     
  18. Took the F-100 to work on Wednesday, brought the Bird to work on Friday...was a bit chilly at 5 a.m. but the afternoon was perfect, and a great opportunity to check on the Cadillac at the paint shop!

    Wow! That's great! It was 11 below zero this morning here! It will be at least another month before we get out:( I hope to have my 37 out and running by June so I've been out in the garage putting the floor back in it. Got a long way to go though............

    Had my car out this morning. Ran it up I-state to August and back. It was great ....but cold enough that I could see my breath ...in the car.
