Love the Pic treatment Bonehead-thanks,Ohio is so cold right now I needed to find a way to get out of the garage for a bit. The 55 Buick is my Brother-in-laws. He got it with 22,000 og miles on it,one of those old lady car in the garage stories.

Welcome to RRR RatRodbiz.

Cool photo work Bonehead.

 

[RatRodbiz]

If you don't mind Bones it put it up here

 

[Bonehead]

No I don't mind a bit. It is rare these days that a background does not have a satellite dish, or new car, or something that gives the date away. I saw that picture and realized it could have been taken at my grandparents house.... In 1962.

Hey RatRodBiz, the In and Out pic on your MySpace is from Reno, Nv. right? I've been there a couple times when it first opened.

 

[hotrodron]

I see you graduated from Lakewood. Do you go down to the Lakewood Kustom Kulture Show? Its a really great show with lots of support from the community. Last year, the mayor even showed up to check things out.

Your right Ronnie it's from Vegas "They have good burgers there Walter"-(Big Lobowski). I've made it to Vegas about 7 times before with In-Out being 6 of the 7. Yeah I caught the Lakewood show this year,got their nice and early to reg. Had to be the best show I've been to,with so much going on and the bars so close. Did you catch the first band? That was some different stuff but good.

Yeah, always great bands. Last year there were almost 300 cars and 15000 spectators and should be almost twice that this year. Its nice to see a town like that really get behind the show and realize how it benefits the community. The local art galleries planned car related art shows for the week, the local bars and restaurants are rolling out the red carpets, hotels are giving discounts, just a great show and a great place to have it. Hope to see you there this year.

It falls on the same weekend as a in-law family trip to a cabin at Salt Fork State Park for a week. Last year we got married so the wife didn't have the vacation time to go done there. So I got to go to the show. This year were playing it by ear if we go down there. I'm kinda hoping not so I can catch the show again. If they keep expanding their going to have to block off more streets,things got tight last year. I checked the magazines website for photos of my car,but I guess their not into big white Mopars oh well.

If you can't make the show, I can't think of a better place to be then Salt Fork. We went down there and stayed at the Salt Fork Lodge a couple of years ago. What a beautiful place. I'm not sure of the exact date of the show this year, but I'm pretty sure its the end of August. Here's a video of the show so everyone can have a look at what we're talkin about.....

Great Vid,takes me back that was 06' right? I saw the spot I was parked at but no Dodge. It's funny I grew up in Lakewood so it's real cool they do this show. I used to hang out on that strip of Madison,at the local stores chainlink addiction,chris's warped records and a few more that have been forgotten through the years.

[RatRodbiz]

Any of you guys from OH ever check out the fathers day show at The German American Center in North Olmsted? Last year it had over 500 cars. The food is so good you don't want to stop eating.

 

[hotrodron]

Never heard of it. I'll have to check it out.
