Seattle and Portland Roadster show pics

Went to Seattle for the weekend to attend the Seattle Roadster show. For some reason the 50th Annv of the Portland Show was the same weekend so it was roadtrip time.

Sat morning found me, KustomBuick and a few friends south bound and down heading for Portland. Decent show, highlight was running into Chip and Heather and seeing their new toy.. WOW, what a ride.. (see Henry J below). Also ran into Adam of Hurst Tires.. it was nice seeing the tires in person..

Here is link to Portland pics (seattle show link below)

Sunday, we did a late breakfast and headed over to the Seattle show. spent a few hours running around and had to stay for teardown to help some friends. Marshall's 37 was finished and it was fun (kinda) watching them lower the car off the stands. (Marshall, i was the guy with Alan). The car was outstanding.. overall look is so much better in person then in the shots.

Have fun looking - Here is link to Seatle show:

kinda felt bad about not going but looks like a lot of the same stuff. Quality pics I must say!

 

what happened to ya friday?



Fred

 

Fred, When I got to town, my buddies had the night planned and since i was a guest with no car, I did not say anything (went to go see Fastest Indian) and we had to be up by 4am the next morning so being out real late was out of the question. I really wanted to come up and we will met up this year... I have a business meeting in April, will have a car and will make time to come by.. (I know I have said that before).

 

Nice pictures. How did you get all of those full car shots without anyone in them? I always had people walking in front of me, or there was a giant crowd.

This year was way cool. So many more cars than normal. I had no idea that room was even that big. They have always had it partitioned off. Was really neat to see the Orange Crate in person.

So which was better????

 

Hey Boones,

What is the story with this bad roadster???? I would love to see her setting
on the ground. Sorry, I think I'm in love....

I'm sure you get tired of hearing it, but I'll say it again Kool Pics!!!

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

that 37 was put together by our own HAMBer Marshall for a customer. Today as we speak it should be on its way to Spokane for one more Indoor show and then its done (according to the owner I talked with on Sunday Night). The car was displayed at the show to show its styling, not gather points (hood and trunk closed) which was nice for taking pics and to enjoy the flowing lines.

The car has some great style to it, the sunk E&J lights with matching custom made rear ones. A nice thin beltline trim piece. My buddies at Byers Custom and Restoration did the final body and paint work..

If Marshall has woke up from his sleep (he looked beat at the show) he could give more info..


How do I get those pic with no people. I stand and wait.. and wait.. its the only way..

 

I do believe that is a '36

Marshall does some amazing sheetmetal work for sure

 

I mentioned in another post about the Riddler being short of the "wow" factor.
This car has the WOW factor that I'm talking about. Hopefully Marshall can
post some build pics and more infor I'll just hang tight.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

WOW!!! Thanks for the great pics. -Strat.

 

Great pix, thanks for posting.

 

It could be a 36 but for some reason I was thinking 37

 

bttt, hoping Marshall sees this to give more details on the ride

 

Theres a couple of threads on the build of the car
It started as a 36 5 window

 

Marshall, that car turned out spectacular.

Here's a link to one of the previous posts..

Marshall, good to see you have awoke from your sleep... Did the car get safely put up on the stands in Spokane....(wasn't 'one-winger' going over also to help detail it...)


Always enjoy sharing my photography with the group

 

Great pics, thanks for posting!

So, how did you get all the idiots to stay out of the way while you took the pictures??

 

Hey Boones those are some great pics. The grey RPU belongs to a buddy of mine dave that is a fun little ride.

Amazing. Thanks for the pics

 

Thanks for posting the link to the previous post. How did I miss the build pics?
Go check out the post. These Pictures could be on a porn site, because I'm
lusting after this car. Two cars this year have stood out among the rest
Kauchers '54 Vicky and this '36.

Again great job guys!!

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

CG, its a cool truck.

Here is a secret to those taking pics in a crowded show. Dont shower for a week, its amazing how quick folks will step away.... LOL
