Back to the 50s pics 08

Here are some pics I took on friday. Big show with a lot of cars. I looked for Jeff and Jenny and was not able to find them. Talked to Bob K for a lil bit. I was only there for one day so I was on a mission to see everything I could. I ended up taking 600 pics that day. Here are few.

 

More pics.

 

Some more.

 

There were a few HAMBers cars scattered through out these pics. Cliffy

 

THere were a lot of converts there. I took a lot of pics of converts. After talking with HRLC at the Rust Revival I want one now. lol

 

Last batch from me.

 

That woody gives me one. That 58 wagon would have given me one if I didnt already have one.

 

Here are three that hot rod roadster might be interested in. Right Gary?

 

I wanted to put these pics of this lil T up. It was cool. I got to hear it run too.

These are the only two I took. Yea I thought that was your old lincoln. Kool boat.

 

Nice pic's Scott, that show has gotten so huge you have to look at so many cars to see the handfull of really cool stuff. Gary

Thanks. That's some tasty stuff. I gotta go there some year.

 

Anyone know who's black 32 chevy that is???? I think i'm in love...

bttt for anyone who got home tonight;

I just got back home tonight about 8, left at 2 today (Saturday).
Was at the 50's from Thursday morning on, TONS of nice cars.
Record number of cars today (Sat.) around 12:30, Something like 11,700 some. Met a whole lot of nice people, and spotted a number of H.A.M.B. stickers. Took a load of pictures and will post sometime tomorrow when I've rejuvinated myself.

On a sidenote, I made it there and back in the falcon, But I think it's the last trip of the 260 until my dad and I do a little investigative surgery. Rods are knockin' like hell. It was a little knocky before we left...500 + miles later shes ready for a little refresher. I got a lead on a real strong 302 that'll be an easy drop in though while we work on her.

Take Care,
Gayl

 

Scott, nice pics; let's see the rest! (jus kiddin).
That 48 Chev Woody is one of my all-time favorites.
...all those pics are cool, thanks fer postin.

 

I missed the meet and greet today but I was wearing my HAMB shirt so I got noticed by a few HAMBers. It was cool meeting everyone that I did... it's nice to put faces to the names. Lot's of very cool cars. Here's some of the pics I took today.

 

more...

 

Really bitchin pics dude, thanks for sharing!

 

Hey! I just left Back to the Fifties and it was great! talked abit with fellow HAMB member Tom Huber of Bismarck, ND had alot of fun. that 34 ford with the Hemi was awesome! hopefully my 1925 dodge hotrod will be ready by next year. (Yeah Right!)

HEMI'S ARE BITCHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Even MORE Back to the Fifties Pictures!
What a trip, we started out Wednesday morning, because we were rather unsure of how far the 260 would go in that Falcon (rather mild rattling). We drove up through backcountry Wisconsin to La Crosse, where we fooled around, and eventually stopped at Dave's guitar shop. I played some blues on some really expensive 12 string guitars (I might buy one someday), and check out some old fender stratocasters from the late 50's and early 60's! VINTAGE. Of course they were like, $20,000 and completely unaffordable We continued on the Great River road where we passed back and forth and checked out both the Minnesota and the Wisconsin sides of Ol' Muddy. Camped in Hudson,WI that night at Willow River State Park where we saw a really cool waterfall. Thursday was registration, which is almost a pre-show. Dad and I ate at Red Robin, he was quite impressed, but even happier because I bought . Friday and Saturday were a blast. We left about 2 Saturday afternoon, made it home safely. Just need to find a donor engine for the falcon (I think I have a 302 locally) so she can make it to Iola, WI in a couple of weeks. Enough talk, here are some pics! Sorry about the Gigantic size, there are A LOT of pictures, and I have a lot more.








































Rather dissapointed about this one immediatley above. You may have noticed I have many many Sedan/Flathead pictures. Well, I REALLY want to build one. What makes me sad about this one is that at one point, it was probably a perfectly original tudor sedan. *tear*








This unlucky rodder got caught in the rain...Oh the Irony.


More to come,

Enjoy!

Hey Bob K., how did you get two of your cars there is that your trailer in the background?

The blue 41 Ford custom was excellently done, thanks all for the pics it was a great show.

Trailer????? Trailers are for Boats.

The guy that does my paint and body work drove the Vette to the event.
