Zipper-Z
Back in novmember the same week I titled mine ,a friend from another part of the State bought a 57 Caddy for $5 K or $6 K and was charged Sales tax on $9K .
I'd like to go by their Blue book when I go to sell something. $22 K for a model A when you can buy nice examples all day for $11 K. I'll contact Joan M also. LOL

 

hell yeah, cant believe this thread is about 2 years old, and still going, how about you folks post pics of what you'll be cruising this year? i'll start off with my 2, the 55 will be mostly cruised, occasionally i'll take my pickup




for the record, the '55 was only on the trailer because the engine was stuck

I was surprised to see a MA thread in here and as I started reading I realized just how old it was.

Well, new guy checking in. Went to school in Newton, MA, then CT, then Boston College. I worked in NYC/Miami Beach, San Francisco, retired and came back to Boston to be close to the in-laws (free nanny/babysitter ). Now I'm raising my 2 little girls and having my third midlife crisis at 32 after selling all my cars when I left CA. Hopefully I'll be getting a mid to early 30s Buick and/or Cadillac to take care of that.

I live in the Back Bay right next to Boston Common so I have no garage to speak of and will probably have to shamelessly steal my in-laws' garage when the time comes.

I have 0 experience with rods/customs other than wanting one so badly it keeps me up at night. Would love to hear of any good shops in the area so I can hire someone for a pre-purchase inspection etc. and eventually do work that I won't be able to do.

Also, do you guys have get togethers of any kind? The car guys I knew back in the SF Bay Area used to go for drives and/or breakfast or brunch sometimes dinner.

 

I would say you should contact hiboyroadsterboy ask him to put you in contact with his farther.

 

hey, you were parked next to my truck at the rochester fair car show last year with the 4 door A sedan right? i was there with my dad in the primered truck posted above. never got a chance to talk to you, that sedan is very cool!

 

does anyone know when the cruise nights start back up this year? particularly the one at the star drive in in taunton, and the one at plumb corner in rochester, if anyone knows if there are any changes and when they start again. let me know, because i wanna try to make it to them with the 55

 

Im only 11 miles from where you are in Woburn. Be happy to help in any way I can with looking at a car and doing the work. Got afew HAMBERS who can provide refernces too if you ever get a car to work on.Stop by my open house in April- see some rides and chat- at least if nothing else , youll get a chance to see some rides and free pizza. LOL

 

Yes please contact me,My dad could use some work.

 

I will see you at both more than likely. I go to star drive in a lot. It is usually May - Sept.

 

The Maynard Area Auto Club have a great online list of shows and thier updated printed one will be out April 1st.

 

looking forward to it!

 

Anybody know how Lars Anderson feels about rods at their non hot rod shows?

 

Chopshop, Highboyroadsterboy,

just a heads up, i sent you guys a pm.

 

Well I went to their ford show last year with my Hot Rod,and there were a few others there,so I dont think they mind for that show.

 

They are a bit more classic based AND there is a new person there running the shows this year (yes everyone -Ellyn left after 6 years!) so this year we may see a chance from previous years.
I know Dana has spoken with Todd ( I think that was his name) and he seems very eager to have larger events, so maybe they are opening their eyes to everything now(Not that they didnt before, but a hot rod anything usually was a big out of place) Take a look at their most recent losting of events- there is a hot rod & gasser show this year- which Ive been told is a lot of fun( Havent been n past years because I was in Syracuse)PLanning to attend THIS year.

 

Let me know if you didnt get my reply- have a great day!

 

I'm in Northboro, trying to get through this damn winter.

My cars are a 30 A coupe, and a 70 Etype, with a few Jeeps thrown in.

Currently need a passenger door and a trunk lid for the coupe. Rough condition is preferred. Hope to meet more of you guys at Lenny's open house.

Pete

 

John I will get back toyou on the date of our nsra inspection. We have a meeting tonight, this time I will wright down the inspection date and the date of the handy kids camp rod run.

 

Two killer cars there Pete. I am looking to find the right model a for a future project. I have a friend in the process now of restoring a 69 jag. He has two of them.
