And Kermit got in the pictures! The black car was a "Standard", I think it was a Triumph.

Ugly as sin, but cool!

You really wouldn't believe all the cars that crawl out of the woodwork at that show. Everything from a totally home made rat rod with a Buick straight eight, to a Ferrari.

Chevelles too numerous to count.

77 MGB - Four tone paint - some kind of electronic ignition - hood props - cheap tires - new springs all around - mixture of poly and rubber bushings - original exhaust - fuzzy seatcovers - stereo out of old F150 pickup - virtually no rust - right front wrecked and semi well repaired - just about right for me!

78 MGB - Done right by a good PO, and I only bought it. Tell Jim how nice it is. But I did put in a Datsun 5 speed.

79/65 MGB - Tubby - Carmine Red - V-6 - T-5
Going to do this one more right, less rat rod!

My friend, Guy, really enjoyed the show and posted some photos on Facebook. Looked like quite a lot of cars - certainly a lot of Fords in his photos... I particularly liked the photo of the Buick Fireball. grinning smiley

I like your photos better, tho, Rod.

Reply email sent, Dan.

Bob, I enjoyed talking to your friend Guy again this year. We came across each other twice yesterday, and the second time I met his wife as well as a couple friends of theirs from the Bay area that they had run into up here.

That hand built car with the Buick straight eight has been to the show at least once before. It's got a lot of eccentric features, like totally manual wipers, the shifter and e-brake mounted to the outside of the vehicle, dual cosmetic gas tanks, straight exhaust (no muffler), straight axles on leaf springs front and rear, etc.

To the pure, all things are pure...

@Chris/@Rod:

well, the last week or so has been all about work (you know, that thing called a J O B that gets in the way of having fun!).
haven't done much tear-down in last 10 days but it is coming along...in the middle of degreasing.

Next year? that'd be pushing it, but I'll certainly give it the ole college try! My real hopes are for PIR-ABFM 2013.

Sorry I missed this year's pancake breakfast - always a good show, good chow and great friends!

ciao,
~L

In reply to # 2126873 by chris Get Lou on it. He's pretty good at getting the MGE people all in one spot!

Lou is up to his elbows in GT teardown, I hear! At the rate he goes at it, he should have the GT done and be available to help next year though!
