I love the paint job on the woody you don't see that style any more. dont even see fadded paint jobs like that where are they all at ?

 

This thread prompted me to dig out my old pics of the 1977 Street Rod Nats in St. Paul. (Yeah, that's me in the photo below.)

I put 'em all up here, if you're interested:

Thanks for the memories. I remember going to car shows when I was a little boy w/my old man & seeing cars like that.

 

Here is some that is a little wild. Dusty

 

All right!, I saw this truck in Winston Salem at the Nats South. It blew my mind. I like fifties style trucks, but this one I still think about from time to time. I have the Street Rodder book it was in. It had California plates on it then, nailhead, those pulled in fenders, then a hell of a set of big and littles on halibrands. This has to be my favorite F-100! If you saw it back then i bet you would agree.That woman walking around it , owned it I believe.

 

Here are some more. That truck is nice love the front. The IH pickup looked like it was velvet. I like all the panel paint jobs. Dusty

 

Originally built in '71. Pictures were taken the day after i brought it home last September. 327, powerglide, '65 Corvette rear end.

 

Yep , that red and black International pickup had fuzzy paint or velvet glued on it, saw it in Winston-Salem Nats South one year, can't remember when.

 

you got that right 63dan63. lotsa cool stuff in the 60s n 70s.

 

Very cool pics

 

That fuzz paint would be a hit today

 

This car is still around and owned by the guy that built it in 1972-still has the wheels and tires (original Ansen Sprints)on it that are in this pic. Other than the color-it has not been changed (has also not been driven in a few years)

 

An old thread, but I like!

 

This is my favorite pic on this thread. A true 70's styled hot rod...gotta love that paint job... maybe you had to be a teenager during that era...

Let's keep it going with more pics of 70's styled hot rods/customs...

 

Awsome pictures ! thanks
