Woodie in Sacramento Autorama

I put my 51 Ford woodie in the Sacramento Autorama. The show runs today through Sunday.

 

I followed your build and I gotta say again,the 51 is one of the best,if not the best built cars from the 2012 Hamb season! HRP

 

Cool. Car looks great.

The Tiki babe looks like she could do some damage if she got ahold of you though. Those coconuts are barely contained.

Always have enjoyed that show, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to make it this year.

 

Very nice! Your display is cool too!

 

Sweet, I will check it out tomorrow!!

 

Beautiful build that shows your outstanding efforts. Hope that your show result meets with the success that you deserve.
All the best,

Good for you Gary--bout the best woodie I've ever seen--see ya there-will be in the old coupe outside.

Nice one Gary - what's next - a Hupp woodie???

 

Saw it yesterday - very nice.
Can I ask what the paint code/color is for the green?

 

WOW This is my kind of Woodie......................

 

Yep, Best Woodie and Display at the show that I have seen so far, Like it

 

Awesome green.

 

Neat car! Can't make the show because unfortunetly I'm leaving for the Islands tomorrow.

 

Thanks for all the nice comments. It was a lot of fun, but kind of glad it's over. Got a first in class and 2 outstanding awards for interior and display. The color is 1940 Dodge gray-olive green. I got it online from Restoration Shop - their code is UB-TCP40228(C).
I am doing another woodie, but sorry Guido it's not a Hupmobile. Just another Ford.

 

Congratulation, you really deserved this........

 

Hupster, Your woodie was awsome at the show, glad to finally see it in person. I really liked the colors and all the cool details; spare tire cover, taillights, visor. Congrats on the awards...Alan

 

Hupster, congatulations!!! Your Woodie is really great and you`ve done a great job! Love it, perfect colour!!!

 

Congrats, cool car, would love to own a woody some day.

 

Woodie 1, the green one is gone. We sold it at the Mecum auction in Monterey in August. Woodie 2 is coming along. A little more horsepower for #2. I'm using engine and trans from a 2011 Camaro SS. I also stepped up to an Art Morrison chassis.

 

Must've swapped out the '51 hood & grille for a '49/'50?

 

I'm still crazy over your Hupmobile!!

 

Hood was 50 grill and front fenders were 49. Dash was 48. Spare tire cover was 36 and tail lights were 38 Chrysler.

 

Thanks. The Hupp is still around. Did you know that some of the Hupmobiles were assembled in Canada?

 

Hey Gary--your woody was tops-can't wait to see your new one. Your builds are always the best. Still playing with 40's and gonna do a little work on a nice 37 woody for a friend. Tim

 

DAYUM !!!!!!!! They don't get any nicer than that!
