Great show pics russty. Thanks for posting them. It looks like there was some very interesting equipment to study there.

So I guess this one still has the questionable front end on it. I sure like the look of the overall truck. Was it still a 1/4 eleptical with no arms to locate the front end? Or has it been changed?

Thanks for the pictures too.

Those are some awsome rides you got to see Russty,
All the pics I posted were all shiney paint and plush interrior. They were all cool, but I like yours better, I think.....

Very cool pics man, thanks for sharing

Bingo, bonehead. Here's some detail pics for those of us without a photographic memory.

So I take it this is a trailer car?

Where's the lower radiator hose?

Inked Monkey I dont rember the routing of the radiator hoses but I did watch that car and a few others come down the street and drive into the show. Requirements for that show were '65 and older and must be driven to the show.

Huh! You'd think that thing would be scary, but what do I know?

that 4 banger is norm's. his band 3 pot offy jams. i dig on the johnny hootrock stuff, too.

Great pics !

The front end on that car is S-C-A-R-E-Y ....


I notice you`re from Hewitt. I have family that lives in Lorena, they used to live in Hewitt - a few years ago.

Kool show!

Russty,
That looks like a kool show... wish I had gone! This is my fav (a truck... duh)! Thanks for posting!




I also have a story to relate. At a recent show I talked to a friend that was @ The Lone Star Roundup in Austin with his *very* chopped coupe. For those that don't know... Austin is in the hill country. My buddy said it was kinda spooky drivin' the hills in a chopped car like his because you could see right in front of you but could *not* see very far ahead so u were sorta drivin' blind. We don't have that prob here in H-town... *totally* flat!

I like that one too. Favorite of the bunch.

I liked that four banger, took me a minute to realize that engine up front was also a VW. I was looking forward to hearing three pot offy but was pressed for time and couldn't hang around as long as I wanted.

I agree that front end looks like it would have a mind of its own on bumpy roads. I've been in Hewitt almost 17 years now, next time your visiting family I'll buy you a beverage of your choice if you have time.

That truck had a mean stance, I liked it too. Did ya notice the frame was sporting shiney purple paint? I added a pic of the hood ornament on that truck. Kinda reminds me of a song by meatloaf, like a bot out of .............. well ya know.

Edit last line... bat, not bot. I think my fingers are dyslexic.
