Event Coverage Boones does 2013 GNRS

This year was a hurried event for me as work required I hope a plane to France on Sat afternoon. I headed down on Thursday morning with Kustombuick and another friend to help with the set up of a blue 39 chevy hardtop his shop painted and A&M outside of Portland Or built. The car did well winning its class, best display, best rod and the Al Sloanker memorial award.

I missed alot of the outside rides but did capture most of the stuff inside, with over 1500 pictures this year..

I have to congratulate the boys from Spokane and specially John (Jadeidol) for his attempt to win the AMBR award with his Model A PU, "Woodward". His team of cleaners were the best looking and I have to say his car has some outstanding detail. This car is black. If it had to get beat, it got beat by another traditional styled car. (Hey John, I wore the support shirt while in Paris, so I was spreading the love worldwide...).

I will say this year, my favorite rides were once again the lowriders on display. the paint on some of these cars is beyond imagine.

Here is a link to all my pictures.

Here are my favorites contenders from the event







Now my favorite other rides

My Top 20 cars of the show I think have to be these

I just dug this wagon by Noteboom but wish she had kept the caddy front grill

 

those were my top 20 HAMB friendly rides. I would have inclued a red 48 woodie but the large billet hoops forced me to toss it out. (it was in my was top 5)


Now lets look at some other outstanding rides..

 

Thanks for sharing your photos with us. Great shots.
Later,
Dick

Great photo's Boones...........thanks for sharing them.

 

Thanks everyone. I get enjoyment out of sharing them. it is about time for me to replace the camera, I am finding the shots are getting darker, even with the new batteries but after 30,000 + shots, I guess it might be wearing out. anyone know the life of digital camera. (light metering seems to be off).

 

Thanks Boones for shooting the GNRS. Love all the detail shots, makes me feel like I was
there. Maybe someday.

 

Great shots Ken.

Thanks for sharing!
