It's not the procedure so much, it's the prep.

Sharp wit and play on wording on the orange coupe and this one.

Very cool stuff!

True story...

It's a Beautiful Day

Saturday dawned clear and warm. Enough breeze to take the heat away. How do you choose what to shoot when there are over 10,000 cars? Here's a few with an emphasis on traditional early Fords. First, a truck with a nail head and a half dozen leakers. John Milner where are you? The crowd was lighter than in the pre-Covid years. Here's 20 feet of Pontiac and a 347 stroker powered Falcon.
Next is an original phaeton, a roadster pick up with perfect paint and a pair of 3 window coupes parked near each other.

The last four in the previous group and all these were in the same small space. Could have been a show all by itself.

 

[earthman]

Aw that next to last bunch was killer.

 

[DozerII]

Some really nice cars, thanks for sharing them with us Bob.

 

[Old Iron]

Thanks Bob, really cool stuff

Sounds like my shop. Everybody has their head up their hind end.[ddd

Thanks Bob, I love the 50's especially the old school stuff, like the flatheads in the T's and steel bodies.

Heat?! Just exactly what kind of "heat" are you experiencing in MN?

Lots of 90's here this spring, maverick. We jackpine savages don't like the hot weather to come on so soon. Gotta wait for the blood to thin.

This weekend we are going to the Outa Sight Drags in Union Grove Wi. I don't want to be fighting the heat there.

It amazes me that I see so many hot rods I have never seen before. We tend to travel in small circles and might never see a car that lives 30 miles away.

As we get older, heavier, less flexible and wider there is a trend away from T's and A's toward the bigger cars of the 50's and later.

Around here, I might see a car once a year whose owner lives 1 mile from me. Unfortunately a lot of this stuff only gets out for the "special occasion" shows, which is a shame because there's a lot of really sweet hot rods around here.

Same situation here Sno. The only time i see them is if the garage door is open when i go by. They don't even come out for shows or weekend cruising.
I only learn about them when they are up for sale.

That's sad. There's a lot of that here too.
