Okay.........the repair crews begin work tomorrow after kenny d, robot, and Ken Thurm came to town............good to see you guys again. Here are a few pics to give a flavor for what was at the show. Getting a clear shot isn't always easy, and a few times I beat the auto focus to the draw trying to avoid some bubble head walking through the shot.
This '32 is the handy work of Allan Johnson from Gadsden, AL..............this boy's got a load of talent. These pics only hint at the detail features on this car. I'm in love.................
And some more stuff........
This '55 is the demo vehicle for the new GMPP LS3 power package that's CARB certified...............a mixed blessing for the Cali guys.
And to wrap it up a shot of one of the cars that did the Posies "dirty" tour.
Uncle Bob,
Always a great lunch and conversation with you and Mike. Allen Johnson built roadster was the best car their, in my opinion. I went back again after we looked at it, It would of taken a few more hours to take it all in. That guy has some real talent. See you next year.
Ken
Man, the Rattler and Stone, Woods, and Cook in the same place!!!!! Good thing I couldn't get there (again)this year, I'd have probably died on the spot!!!!!! Life just don't get no better then that!!!!
Thanks a bunch Uncle Bob, hope you have more pics!!!!!
All very......toooo much for me,love that Stone Woods and Cook Willys,they should all look that good..Thanks for the pics Bob..:cool::cool:
Likewise Ken. I don't know if you remember the louvers on the hood top, but kenny was telling me he punched them in flat metal first, then formed the hood tops to get them to follow the curve. Of course each one needed to be metal shaped because they flattened out. Says he has 250-300 hrs in the tops alone!Quote:

Yeah lam, it was neat to see.
Hey Kenny!!!! How much did Bob pay you guys to hang out with him again this year at Sema????:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:
Sorry Bob, ya know I had to do it....;)
Actually Davey it's the other way round...................SEMA management won't let me on the show floor without adult supervision (somehow kenny's gotten them fooled into thinking he's an adult:D).
All those cars look great and bring back fond memories. BUT, I wish they would restore them the way they were, it's part of the Hot Rod heritage and, let's be honest, non of them looked that good when they were originally built.:eek:
That's why I stuck that '32 5 window in there. Look closely and you might be able to tell the paint is well worn.......might be the original, or at worst a very old repaint. The interior was a worn '50s style black and white vinyl. That thing looked like it had been stashed away for the last 40-50 years and recently revitalized for the trip to Vegas.Quote:
