Have to agree the extended rear fenders do tend to push it out of the Traditional Custom Car Corral. But the White grille is still a creative...
He was the "Ansel Adams" of all things automotive. Always admired his eye for natural light!
Is it going to be held at the event center (fairgrounds)?
I was going to meet a friend at the Riverdale track Saturday. He had left earlier, Friday morning, to set up his parts booth and watch some time...
I ran into his son way back in '65 at a popular American surf spot in Baja. When we introduced ourselves around a campfire on the beach one...
They certainly nailed it; period perfect! Is the top mechanism the original factory pieces (chopped), or made from scratch?
Just went through this thread and found a couple more "missing pieces of the puzzle", trying to recall when I first saw Taboo (other than the '62...
Couldn't agree more; amazing talent! Thx for bringing this back up, guys; I had forgotten about it. Best, and most complicated chop, I've seen...
Have to join the chorus, and chime in again. Exceptional work, but damn, what a challenge! Refresh our memories again; how long have you had the...
Thanks, J. Wagon, for these great vintage photos of Mt. Hood, Timberline Lodge, and the St. Bernard dogs!!
One of the "tougher" decisions, ain't it? Suggestion: Make up two very different sets of caps, etc. I have a set of rough, original '50 Merc....
Really dig the front end treatment on this roadster! ^^^^ Reminds me of the LaSalle grille and 40 Chev headlights combo. that was so popular in...
Thanks, Ron, for these great photos from the 1950 Roadster Show (and others, too!!)
Thanks for digging out all the Ptld. pics, Witchhammer! (And another thanks to Maggie..)
Kudos for your courage, man. Not many of us would have attempted the "learning as I go" route! Coming along nicely.
Had one, too; IDENTICAL to ...Bob's, back in '64. (Made my ticker skip a beat when I saw it here!) Actually, we had 3 during that period; folks...
Nice design; you have some hours wrapped in that! Spring is just around the corner!
Very Clever, D.D.; Well done!
In the late 50s, they were even used in "diggers", or "rail jobs" behind Olds, Caddys and Hemis, starting off in 2nd gear!
ALL great examples!!
Looks like you're off to a great start; will be true to the decade! Nice pair of deuces. Good luck with the project!
Looks like you boys are meeting the challenge with that rough/rusty body. Newly acquired skills are paying dividends; nice work. Same goes for...
I have a copy of it too; came by it similar to StudeJoe when my Golden Retriever "dog-eared" the cover when it was almost new in '59. Librarian...
Yowza; tripped over this thread whilst looking for another one. Good to see you back on new project; really enjoyed the thread on your coupe a...
Have been looking for some vintage surfing shots for my file. Thanks! Jnaki ought to be chiming in any time now......
Ouch; there goes the budget!
Yep, time is getting short. We had better get our long term projects finished up while we are still able to crawl back out and get to a vertical...
Don't believe so; perhaps someone can verify? ^^^^
Time to give thanks, again, to all the contributors who keep this thread humming. (And a special thanks to WQ59B for also including the date and...
Any idea if the buyer would continue with the same theme?
