i wish i could a went. noww im a lil slow today so any one know what motoe is in that rpu

 

Here's a few I took.

 

a few more

 

One more batch for now.

 

I think that is the same RPU that I have seen in North St Paul a couple of times, if so its a flathead 60

 

Other than being a Ford Flat head? I talked to the guy one time but don't know what year flattie it is. Cool truck

 

Had a great time also, and managed not to buy a car this year. The Meet and Greet was cool. Can't wait to see the group photo. It was great to put some faces with the names.

 

its a 1940 v8 60, the owner is gary anderson.

Went today. Best BTT50's I've been to in several years. I saw a lot of really great hot rods and customs and ate way too much good food. Three areas that I might have been a little disappointed with was the amount of flea market crap that's being allowed on the swap meet grounds, the amount of billet vendors selling polished shit that's got nothing to do with traditional '50's hot rods, and the number of $50,000.00 professional built bling machines. God help me if I have to look at one more set of 20" Billets with shitty looking skinny tires on them. Hot Rodding should not have become a competition to see who can spend the most at their favorite builders and should have stayed at home in the garages of true hot-rodders. JMHO

 

This one's my favorite. I love it. All of your pictures are great. Thanks for sharing.

 

Had a great time! Took my 9yo. son. He's hooked big time. It was cool to meet some of you guys at the meet and greet. All and all a great weekend.

NOTE. 38 BUICK/SEAGRAVE-V12.... I sold him the engine last year

 

Speaking of '38 Buicks, there was a sweet Buick business coupe in the swap meet this morning. It appeared to be totally original and was in great condition.

 

Here's Bobwop's Willys and underneath is my Model A.

 

what is a Buick/Seagrave V-12? I saw two of them this weekend, the one pictured and another in very much smaller car, can't remember what it was and forgot to bring the camera that day. Looked way cool with two dizzys and four coils. What are they out of?

 

Hey Titus, did you sell the car this weekend?

 

my camera sucks so I only took a couple....




















The group of guys I was with....

 

Here is a ride around the block.

Someone tell me if I am wrong, but I think they are out of old fire trucks.

 

I see seesko has a picture of it, I think this is the one you mean.



I was in town by accident and was able to spend the day there on Friday. Did find an NOS set of chrome ford rims for a Torino project, so that was cool. Awesome show, can't wait to come back, next time with a car hopefully.

 

correct

 

that willys was the most bad ass car at the show, it was my favorite, im assuming you know the dude that owns it, tell him it was the highlight of the weekend for me to see it, bad ass!

Nope, i had a guy really interested, and a couple of lookers, but no takers yet, well see, i still have some things to finish up on it, i may have to put it on ebay, i really like it, dont want to sell it but need to get some money to pay off some bills and pay for parts for my other toys!

nice shots man i dig that red chevy

 

This car belongs to a local guy by me. I know a previous owner that raced it in the 50's and he told me it ran a 15.8 with a flattie.

 

thats the one i was thinkin of ! gorgeous car , not real wild about the tire setup though !
