First show of the season 'round these parts.

Here is a Barris survivor. Owner tells me it was in a museum in North Dakota for 49 years. He has owned it for ten or so years. Says it was built in 1952. He was old there was a Rockabilly band playing and I had a hard time hearing him.
I found out that my friends Pete and Corey helped him rewire and get it running. I will have to ask them about it.

This Stealthmobile was kinda cool. Custom tube frame. Powered by turbo charged GM V6.

Owner say it will pobably do 150. I presume he meant miles per hour:rolleyes:

Here is a Stang from British Columbia for Bonehead.

Think I liked this van....I think.

Thanks for the pics. Lots of nice cars but I find myself skipping thru some with questionable taste. I dont understand the huge wheels and some that are just way overdone. I guess I'm just a ratter at heart.;)
 
There was not much to choose from to photograph so I through up most of what I had.........We are lucky to have a trailer queen indoor show around here this time of year much less a full on rat show
 
I definitely appreciate the pics, you did a really good job ronnysplymouth. I guess I skip over certain vehicles at shows and cruise ins. I dont understand the trailer-queen concept with all the money dumped into them and then being afraid to drive them. To me, minimum investment and maximum use is what I appreciate. That's why most of us ratters have a common bond when it comes to hot-rods. Keep up the the good work and keep bringing us more pics!!
