Here's a few pics from the show this past weekend. If ya like old skool cars this is the show of the year locally at least!

And a few more pics!

Pretty cool. I saw a bunch of them around town last week and was wondering if there was a show or something going on.

I think I should bring a buffer and some wax, Id make a killing there...

I think they like the "rat rod" look....

They would kick your arse if you showed up with wax and a buffer.......

Ya hit it right on the head there Tex! They'd be buffin Kev with the buffer!mash: That'd be like goin to the Primer Nationals with a buffer! Nothing but rat rods there this past weekend, great time!

LOL :o:

So they strive for a shitty paint Job...OK, I see another business venture. Show up with some rust colored paint and a brush??? I can do shitty paint jobs. :p:

love the old cars, but i just dont get that flat black, primer look?

Yeah it's a old skool thing. Ya should see some of the people drivin them!! lol

if you slap new, nice paint on those things none of the other parts of the car will match. Can't have fresh paint and leave everything else looking like chit.
Once you upgrade something like paint you might as well redo the entire car.

I think these guys keep their hobby somewhat "cheap" by leaving the cars like that. They still get to have hot rods but it doesn't cost them $100,000

If I stuck a loud exhaust on my Dad's or Sister's XJ's and/or did someuing to make our long dead FS van run again, would those be allowed? They're nearly as patinaed and it's all well earned too!

Sorry Bjoe only 1965 and earlier cars/trucks. They got their own set of standards for what they let into the show and not. Greasers and stuff like that!
