Too many street machines and bikes on Friday nite.

 

i'll see if i got a pic of that

 

Just when you think you've seen it all......theater seats in a hot rod, and it actually works. Bitchin' !

 

You forgot a 1 . . . 11,556. I believe it set a new record for the show.

 

Isn't the front clip 55 Chevy with 56 bumper?

DD

 

MSRA site says11,532 registered vehicles. Which supposedly makes it the largest car show in the WORLD.

Last year, the only bigger show was the NSRA Street Rod Nationals.

 

I'll add my vote for the theater seats - sure makes it easy to get things from underneath! The roof - eggplant color - is amazing! What is that kind of paint technique called? I love that look.

BTW-I admit, I have radials and an alternator on my Flathead powered 47 Mercury.

Man, it felt good to purge that...

 

I think you're right. I didn't pay attention to the fenders at all...

 

cool pix. there was some sweet cars from the frankensteiner's car club there too. did you so those?

 

heres a few of the pics i have so far

Yes, by all means, I should expect when passing a car like this that he will do a lane change right over the top of the fork on my motorcycle. What the hell was I thinking, expecting someone to actually look over their shoulder before switching lanes when they have no mirrors or signals? A lane change to the left is really easy to hand signal.

I made no comment on the workmanship or price tag, so I don't understand your second comment. The only close look I had at this car was in traffic, while I was grabbing brake levers and cursing.

 

way too cool. great pics. thanks

 

Thanks for the compliments. I like it pretty well myself.

I like the 3-window with the Hemi!! How did I miss that...



We should have been parked side-by-side...

 

Theres one of those pics you were telling me about...... Post up the whole photo shoot. Lets see em all.

Your friend chopped the top of a fiberglass 3 window?

Guess it follows that he'd nearly run someone over.

 

i'll ask one more time ... i have a file o pics from the show but would like to have them show big soo if some one would pm me i'll send ya the file so they would be posted correctly...
thanks paperdog

 

my favorite at the 50's

 

does any body have more pics or info on this T?

 

Lot of great cars on this thread - thanks all!

 

I saw that one too, I was wondering about it. If you look at it up close in person, it looked almost like those ardun heads are fake, with some screwed on covers to adapt them to the block? Unless someone has some more info, maybe I was just seeing things.

 

^ I'd be happy seeing some more angles of this car at least.^
Is the owner of this car on hear?

 

i saw it , i believe the engine is a sbc with aurdun covers

do you see the spark plug wires going to the back?

 

No, I guess I didn't notice that, but now I do. I wasn't sure what it was, all I knew is that it just looked really funny for some reason.

I do have to say that the rest of the car is very well put together, though.

 

Very nice workmanship all the way around.

Pretty sure it's not an Ardun flatty, but I don't know what is actually is. Exhaust ports say not-SBC, distributor says not-SBF.

A couple more pics:

i believe it was actually BBC....

 

Once agian, Ill say, when I lived in MN, most of these cars would NOT have been on the street. The Cops would have had they impounded for not having, fenders, mufflers, proper lights, being too low and paint.
