Cool, should be easy to spot the Shark. :D

I'll be taking my buddies '61 Olds. F-85 Wagon. I'm a rat-rod owner wannabe... for now.

I'm working on convincing the misses to letting me get an old '30-50's truck to chop. :rolleyes:

I'm gonna take an assload of pics tomorrow, should be a really nice day.

Turned out to be a really good show. Seemed like they had a few hundred cars there with bands, good brisket sandwiches, turkey on stick, etc.
Weather was kick ass too, mid 70's & sunny.

And... I would forget my freakin camera when we got to the show. I went to the local grocery store & got a disposal digital camera... thing only takes 27 pics! :confused: I'm so spoiled with being able to take hundreds of pics... 27 went fast. I'll get some posted up on this thread later.

The Shark was awesome Spider. I wasn't sure which guy there was you, but I definately knew which car was yours. My ol' lady really digged it. :D

Those are some great shots man. Thanks for posting them.

The best thing about the show for me was that it convinced my wife to let me build a hot/rat rod!

Before the show she was pretty much against it. We borrowed my buddies '61 Olds F-85 to take up there & she loved the hell out if. Then when we got there she loved looking at all of the cars.

Funny, we had been to a car show once before that was at Baby Dolls in Dallas... was mostly new mustangs, vipers, porches, etc. & she didn't care for it much & was ready to go soon. The pistons/paint show facinated her because everyone really puts so much personalization into their rides.

We made a deal though, I'm going to wait till after we're remodeling our house. We're redoing all of the flooring, painting most of the rooms, and changing most of the elect. fixtures.

I can't wait, think I'm gonna go lay some tile. :)




BTW, the truck in the 3nd pic on the 10:07 AM post was freakin nasteeee. :eek:

Really love that last car as well.

Congrats on getting to build a new ride. My Dad went to the show with me and now he is hooked! He talking about us building him one together.

Did you see the international truck with the tool box breather?
