So, what did you like @ the roadster show?

Once again the LA Roadster show was great. Here is my list of the good and bad from my view.

Meeting some new hambers, bobby's crew with the belly tanker racer, seeing Evil again, meeting and have a really nice talked about family and hot rods with little man, hanging with ElP and the crew while selling parts. Talkes with Billy Gibbons for a little as well, meeting Pat Ganeill, and talking with Jimmy Vaughn. Going out to dinner with most of AZ crew and all most getting thrown out of the place for being to rowdy and pops was even there.

What I scored in swap= nice B1 vice mounted Beverly shear and complete gauge cluster for the 40 merc project and some little stuff from the vendor area.

Cars= the Cloria 3 window coupe was unreal in person, the cars that jimmy white's crew built were unreal as well. seeing the foose P32 was really neat and alot of good ideas.

The Bad= missing the HAMB greet since I was selling parts all day, dealing with assholes in the swap like selling a 5.00 dollar part and then the guy asking to break a 100.00. or how about the guys who says I will take that body for 300.00 never comes back till the end of the day after its loaded in the truck to go home and says I will give you 250.00 when I was already giving the body away at 400.00 compared to outragous prices on some of the sheet metal that was out there. or just plain cheap ass people in general.

Overall it was was great trip and taking desertdroog to his first LA Roadster show was cool. he was like a kid in a candy store. Nest year I taking the coupe and enjoying the show and not talking parts to sell. See some of you at the Moon X-mas show in Dec

 

anyone get a pic of the green 36 ford that was for sale for 95k

that car was soooooo damn nice

it was in the show and shine area near the entrance to the main show area

 

HAHAHAHAHAAHA I walked for 45 minutes talking to people with a pile of curly frys and sandwitch that cost 20 bucks...I saved the ketchup knuckle
for dinner.

Good to meet you and nice to see Ron again..

 

What did I like best? Sold my 29 roadster Sunday..........didn't get to do the meet and greet stuff, cuz I was tryin' to stay by the car. I had my cooler full of beer, and my HAMB Alliance tag, but drank by myself. Delivered the car yesterday afternoon to Palmdale, CA and then proceeded home..........made for a long day.

 

Jimmy, that A looks bitchin. Nice job.

 

Thanks, I have a new addition to my "wish list"...

 

Man, i wish i had the self control to build something this mellow. YUMMY!

 

yeah, beautiful car! pretty sure it's a car SoCal just recently finished...

 

no one else liked that gilmore #11 road race ford?

 

Thanks Dude, I really appreciate it. We just got done hot lapping that thing, by my shop. It was alot of fun!!

Hi Jimmy....

how's it!

Good job on that coupe mate!!


Elmo and Evel.... How are al you guys doin'!


I just spent ten days in Cali.. I fuckin' got to know too many people there so I can't even visit all of 'em anymore when I'm over there.... I did 14 photoshoots (choppers) in 9 days, in SF and LA.... Crazy.

 

Here is that Hollywood Hotrods right hand drive 32 that I was talking about.

Stolen from DRD57.

 

I finally put up my pics from the LA Roadster show. I was focusing on 28-29 A's to get ideas for my new project. Here are a few that I really liked:

The best part? Hangin' out with Dad




The roadster I would most like to own and drive the shit outa..

 

i want the wheels off of LB's 32 but on augy's kellison
.................................................
..................................i will own a kellison coupe before i die.

 

Our swap space was one slot over and behind Circle City. I found myself eyeballin' that machine all weekend, and yes, that thing sounds plain bad ass. Bitchin' car for sure, as one would expect from Jimmy and the boys.

 

This car was the shit!

 

some TOTALY badass rides. SOOO wish i coulda made it out.

 

Thanks for the kind words dude!! Were you the guys I was talking to about the Olds engine in the 32?
Jimmy White

 

Probably so, we had about 12 folks from Phoenix using our space as base camp, we had a bunch of Olds freaks in our group.

We were the guys with the flatty powered '31 Model A highboy roadster parked at one end of our space and the early Caddy powered Deuce highboy roadster and the black, fendered Deuce Tudor parked at the other end.

 

I'LL TELL YA WHAT I DIDNT LIKE !!!!!!!

THE FUCK'IN ASS JACKS THAT STOLE THE '40 WIRELOOM & '35 TRUCK HOOD TRIM FROM MY SWAP SPOT

IF YOU JACK OFFS ARE READING THIS,

FUCK OFF CHEAP BASTARDS!!

 

I hate fucking thieves. Crappy deal.

 

Man, that's total BS! I was selling some stuff too. Early 50's wheel covers and early Ford stuff and manage to sell most of the Hot Items before taking a walk thru the swap meet. Nothing came up missing though. I hope that person(s) gets what coming.

Ken

 

You guys had some pretty neat hot rods in your spot!! I really like the caddy powered 32, that was really cool.
Take care dude..
Jimmy White
P.s. Desoto that sucks your shit got stolen, I hate thieves!!

 

Best things:
Meeting west coast rodders and listening to their stories.
Seeing the difference in west coast versus east coast cars.
Looking at plenty of rare old speed equipment in the swap meet.

Worst things:
Hot sun!!!
Little shade.
$2.50 for bottled water.
High prices for stuff that didn't look like gold to me but did to the owner.
That the show was only two days!
