I don't know the power plant on that coupe either Jack.
That blue Camaro next to the brass festooned T bucket was another of the very well executed cars. Pro street is another genre that doesn't wind my watch, but the workmanship was fantastic.
The black '62 I referenced earlier is in the background of the black Model A Jack just posted. Jack, I hope you got a pic of it.
More yet.
Jack.
Sorry Bob,
Didn't get a full shot of it. I have pretty much posted all the pics.
Jack.
Shame on you....:LOL:
That orange '29 roadster and the black coupe behind it have a side story. They belong to a husband wife duo. The wife claims the roadster, the husband the coupe.......kinda neat I think.
Wish I coulda been there guys to add a little bit of "Newer" muscle to the mix (not that I don't enjoy "Older" muscle it's just what I have now :LOL:) Hopefully I can make it to Lake Wilderness next year! Sounds like this event would also be a good venue for NW CHR members to get together!

Okay Greg, in Jack's third post of pictures there's the rear 3/4 shot of the '66-7 Goat, with Jack's wife in the background. Further back behind her is a white '65 Malibu. That thing sat very nice and had a tricked out bigger block under the hood. Had blue flame job on the nose. Just for you.....:D
Sorry greg,:o
I'm just more into the Old School rods. If it helps, I once owned a 66 GTO, bought it new from Larry Hopkins Pontiac in Sunnyvale Ca.:) The running gear now resides in the 34 3w that I am now rebuilding (has for the last 42 years). The Mrs and I bought a 06 Charger RT last year that we call our new (to us) hot rod.:rolleyes:
Jack.
Yep Bob, I saw them in the pictures. I've seen a lot of those cars around at the local shows and quite a few of them were at the Les Schwab Show in April. Ya know I was teasing about the newer cars... heck I just came off of a '37 myself! :)
No problem Mr. Jack as I love them all!!!! I just can't afford to have every car I would like to have at one time so I just keep chipping away on the list! :D That is why I had always enjoyed having a street rod and muscle car at the same time... to fit the mood I was in :LOL:
Greg
Thanks both Bob and Jack. Yes those were the two I was asking about and heck I would like to own both of them. I must have similar tastes to you Jack as I would of stopped and photograghed that '35 Fordor too as I can't but help loving the stock wheel /car look of those fat fender cars. Thanks also for the T bucket photo as you may of guest I am very fond of them too.:LOL:
Hi Whiplash,
Thought you might like the T. My first Rod was a 35 4 dr I bought in 1961 for $30. Put a 50 ford flat head in it that I got from my aunt, she gave me a 50 Ford Crestliner that had that engine in it,. It had Offy heads and the block was ported, polished and relieved. It also had dual point ignition. I traded the 50 Crestliner body for the labor to rebuild the engine, I had $60 in parts + $10 for a merc crank + the body into the rebuild. Fun car. But "I digress".:rolleyes: Glad you liked the pics.
Jack.
Uncle Bob, what are big hoops??? From what I can see of the '62 Impala it is a nice car,would it be SS model and did it have 348 or 409 BB or something more modern??? When I was an apprentice panelbeater, a friend and I used his front sheetmetal off his '64 Impala to make a mould to make a fibreglass tilt front for his car and that was one job I wouldn't like to repeat. But for modern type of car,I do like those early Chevys.
What? You guys don't speak English down there? ;)
In this case, hoops would be the wheels. I didn't bend down to look, but I'd say they were 20s on the front and 22s on the rear, Boyds I think. The hood wasn't open when I went by it so don't know for sure, but it had the 327 flags on the fenders.
I'm going to have to check the production numbers on '35's somewhere because it seems like all the ones I see are 2 and 4 door sedans for the most part. I went to NSRA York a couple weekends ago and there were a lot of '35 sedans there.
Nice pictures, looks like a good show.
