WOW busy weekend. BTW did you hear how it went keeping the shock rods out?


We only turned away one what I would call a shock rod.  Somehow I don't think he was really surprised.  Word was spread around town before the show that we were going to be more strict on what got in.  Funny thing was that we had to reject the very first car that tried to get in!  That guy was pissed but honestly it was an abortion.  We should have got a picture of it for exactly what we don't want... Ryan did you happen to get a picture of it right outside the gate?

I was there. I wanted to stay and drink some beers, but I was there alone and drove from Saint Cloud. I did end up boozin with some friends that live in Minneapolis though.
Next year I plan to take my Hudson, and it'd be cool to maybe meet up with some of you guys that made the long haul. I drove my dodge, and if you saw a baby blue 66 Coronet lay down a patch as it left, well that was me.
Also I lived in Minneapolis for 2 years, and love going down there for any reason, like car shows. Alot of cool bars, music and shit. I can't remember if I ever intoduced myself, so let me know if I need to.

later

Well, I guess by the number of posts I have I never did an intro. I was born in 1976. I like old cars, Mopars are my favorite. Have a few. Currently working on a 49 Hudson 2 door sedan. Nice rust free body I'm sticking a 318 Poly in (the car was gutted when I got it). Also dig motocycles. Have an old Shovelhead I did alot of work on, stripped down bobber style. Also an artist, have a bachelors degree in graphic design. Currenly live in St. Cloud MN. Work at a shop that we restore vettes, fix and tune old cars, and do performance engine building. My other never ending project is a 66 Coronet with a built 440, the one I drove to the Messaround.  Here da pics.

I bet I know what car it was. More shit hanging on that has nothing to do with cars. There are about 3 cars that I have seen several times, that are gay as hell. Had to be one of em.

A barely driveable car, typically built with tradition in mind, but thrown out the window in the quest to shock people.

like a huge spider web roof on a tudor sedan and crap like that all over the place, more of a 3D sculpture or mural than a traditional rod?

This guy:


I'm speechless. Thats something I'd say in a coversation over beer, etc.  that would go  something like this:

Pete: "Dude, what if we built a stretched out totally chopped to the bone tudor with a Caterpillar theme, smoke stack, radiator and all?"
   
          Joel: "That'd be pretty gay."

Pete: "Yeah, your right, pass one  my way."

But obviously, some people don't sit around and think (drink) enough.
