Event Coverage alter boys show

JimV is the burn out king! You guys rule and certainly bring another level of excitement to the show.

Also....The Sin Alley Saints...those guys are a great bunch and really build some neat rides! The show wouldn't be the same without them.

We had a great turn out this year with perfect weather all day. We tried a different approach to the parking layout this year and got mixed results. We really do try and keep the real hot rods together. It's not that we hate billet or radials we just really like traditional hot rods. We basically want to park similar style cars together and this year we relaxed a bit to try the new arrangement....but next year.......we will have our hawk eyes on again.

What great time! All of the vendors did well and the pig roast kicked ass.

Thanks to all the guys in the Alter Boys Club for putting on a great show. We brought our Fiat altered and Brad Studley brought his new dragster, plus a bare frame. We met a few guys from Maine out in parking lot, they had a T bodied altered and a dragster. They joined us for a nice display of vintage drag cars. We had such a great time and were treated so well, we will be back next year. Word is... there are going to be more drag cars there next year. Thanks again guys.

 

I liked the new parking arrangement. From the perspective of taking pictures I liked it too. I also thought it was a good ideal to scatter the vendors along the entire area.

Thanks all for posting , I always look forward to seeing pictures from this event. looks like a few nailhead powered cars there.

I hate to say it but i have to back off on the burn outs!! I think that was my last.I keep ripping the batwind for my hairpin off the rear end.Got home & saw a small puddle of oil on the floor, I'll have to reweld it again.
JimV
PS well maybe one more next year!!lol

 

Rebbecca,
I spoke to most of the vendors from last year, took the feedback and changed the layout. I spoke to most of them yesterday again and they were much happier.


Church....

Love those rails and all the noise they made driving in, thanks for bringing them for everyone to see. I am seriously thinking of buying a frame from Brad and building a rail.....

Pete-

 

HAha, I had my red flannel on later too!

 

Had Don Fearon do some lettering on the coupe. He spent most of the day doing it.......I dig it!

Pete-

 

Yup, it looks really good on there!

I am so pissed .Ive been searching for bigfoot for years in the woods around where I live , Im always just a little to late, and here he is at the meet and greet. while I'm locked in the damn porta potty, [ go figure]

Jim looks like that 80 year old guy that came out of the Amvets Post...

Hey! That's my noggin stickin' up over the roof of that coupe. Under the tent, peddling my wares. Thanks to everyone that bought somethin' & screw the rest of ya!

 

Outstanding pictures.. Thanks again Alter Boys for damn good show!! Never a let down waiting a whole year for the day to come.. .. and thanks Pete for the kind words.. We should have a couple more builds done for next year too.. For some reason We all get hit with the drunk bat anywhere between 8 and 9pm... I think I owe Hampton Inn a new coffee maker, maybe a new chair..

 

A totally excellent show folks.
Had a great time,hated to leave early but I had the baby sitting drill to do.
Thank you Alter Boys (and girls) for a great time.

I think I owe Hampton Inn a new parking lot. My car leaked so much gas oil and 600W gear oil I'm just waitin for fuckin Green Peace to start a picket line in front of my house

 

Oh my God that's hilarious!
Where'd my coffee go?
I've never been in a HAMB group photo without a coffee.

 

There was some funky shit happnin' in the Hampton Inn lot.....freaks come out at night!

What the hell was the story with "hit me in the balls" game at the bar?????


Pete-
