Event Coverage Out for a ride in the Hot Rod....

Had the ply.out on thurs.Cold and windy.Tomorrow they want 3 ins. of snow.The heck with spring come on summer.

 

What is this snow stuff I keep reading about? It's 96 today and should be 101 degrees tomorrow here in Laredo, TX.

 

You do know most of the Hambers hate you! HRP

 

Roadster looks outstanding I'm envious for sure! Almost 70 here yesterday spent all day in the shop trying to clean it up. Today can't get out of the 30s didn't get out there to do anything!
Yeah COME ON SPRING!

 

HEHEHEHEHEHEHE! I wish we could have more of a typical winter down here. Down here our seasons run about like this: Summer typically runs from March/April to about mid November. Then we have a weird fall-spring mix from late November to March with maybe a week of a mild winter thrown in the mix. I guess how you guys think about winter cold I think about summer heat. It can get depressing when it's 10 o'clock at night and still 95 degrees.

 

Good for you and great looking hot rod! I like the roll bar.

 

I'll pass on the 96-101* stuff.... That's too Damn Hot, even for summer.

Thanks on the roadster, the weather here in Tennessee is a finicky bitch. Sometimes good, sometimes shitty.... Gotta pick your poison.

Thanks, we are in the 49 percentile on the Roll Bar. Either way, it's been there since '56 and it's staying. Here's a pic from '57 on the first drive. Roll Bar is there....

 

Love those old muffler/headers on the old picture.

 

Same pipes in 1977.... The "After Header" changed for the worse, but still mostly the same 20 years and thousands of miles later. Sans Roll Bar at this point tho.

 

Snowed here again today..No cruzin yet.

 

Same here. We just got 2 feet of snow!




I absolutely love your roadster Kevin. Looks like a lot of fun.

 

Two Feet..... That's crazy.

I flew into Chicago alot of years ago, to see Pantera in concert (in April). In the WalMart parking lot there was what I thought from the plane to be a HUGE white tent.... It was a snow pile.

Being from Tennessee it was an unbelievable sight. We have a couple months of cold weather, but usually none of that white stuff you call snow....

The concert was great, the weather was terrible.

We do get that white stuff, but it's RARE.

Thanks RickyBop..... I'm glad to be the custodian of this VERY historical car.

 

That roadster wants to be here in south Florida cool wheels!

 

Here in Denmark, we got a bad snowstorm coming in. So even the wikings leave the roadsters in the garage.
lars

 

The owner wants to be in South Florida too.....

The wheels are Henry Ford specials.....

 

Those are '40 Deluxe trim rings..... Right?

The boat is ready for our next adventure.

Glad you got out for a ride and the weather is good.

 

No pics but had the sedan out Saturday and went to a cruise in. Aside from being a bit windy the weather was great.

 

Looks like you guys had a nice time; been dyin to get one of my old rides out for a drive but this crummy weather won't cooperate;...only 24 degrees this AM and snowin again. Last year in March we were in the 70's-low 80's!...should be in mid-to-upper 40's by now.
...we probly won't get a Spring this year, it'll go rite into Summer.

 

Drove mine about 175 miles yesterday, Holland, MI to Chicago, IL. No heat either as my heater core is bad, but it was about 35 or so, and the sun was out, so worked out well! Still itching for some warmer days, which look like they're coming soon!

 

Without pictures, did it really happen??

 

Okay, okay

 

Seen your roarster in ck deluxe cool car! Its 28 n blizard warnings here so my roadster is in hiding n waiting for that global warming thing!

 

Hope you get it going soon, it's gonna be a cool ride.

Yes, '40 Deluxe.

Thanks. Global Warming my ass, it's been cold here this winter. Glad we are turning towards spring.

Im so glad i live in Texas!!!!

 

Been driver her daily for the past 2 weeks in Vegas. 85 or higher the last couple weeks

 

78° here today and most of the week. Already roadstered to the store and the bank. First day of Spring is here this week.

 

Cool roadster. Any pics?

 

wonder if I should insert.."i live in south florida, whats all this talk about bad weather about??" But i wont, since I've been riding the wheels off my rivi..

 

Jealous - my coupe is still stuck in the garage

 

We came to Austin for the HR Revolution and fell in love with Texas.

You should just bring that coupe down here for the winters.... I'd be glad to keep it exercised.
