Week In Review: 1-13-14

As this is posted I’m finishing up my 3 hour stint a the day job on Saturday morning. From here I catch a ride with my Dad and my 3 & 5 year old nephews down to Wichita’s Century II where the Starbird-Devlin show is in full swing. The boys and I will check the show out today then they will come home and then my cameras will come out and I’ll get you some photos of the show. Look for those photos to start showing up here tomorrow Sunday the 19th. Here’s what I posted this week so far:

 2 Month Warning: Goodguys Spring Lonestar Nationals

Friday

2014 Starbird-Devlin 13

 Event Coverage: 2014 Starbird-Devlin Move In Day

I’m excited to finally get the 2014 car show season underway! Next weekend I’ll be heading to Ryno Built’s shop to check in on a Merc project that he’s building for a buddy of mine. While we’re there we’ll also build a new transmission crossmember for my Galaxie so that the car can be dropped a couple more inches. So look for a tech article on that, plus the shop visit post from Ryno’s place. From there I’m hoping to hit 2 shops on the way home, 1 private where they’re doing a big time chop and another a pro upholstery shop. Stay tuned for those visits as well. The goal for 2014 is to start doing a lot more car features, more videos, and more of the same coverage that has been viewed over 11.5 million times so far. Buckle up, it’s bound to be a heck of a ride!

See you at a show,

Royboy

2 Month Warning: Goodguys Spring Lonestar Nationals

The middle of March usually is a slow time for car shows in Kansas, so I had South to Fort Worth Texas to the Texas motor Speedway for the Good Guys Spring Lonestar Nationals.

Which is a better presentation of a car, all closed up like this so you can see the lines…

I’m kinda getting to where I dig these body style trucks more and more.

This gives you some idea of the crowd alllllll day long. It was difficult to take photos because of the crowd, but that’s a good thing. A big crowd means more people that might be inspired to go home and build something of their own.

That’s it for part 2, See you at a show,

This weekend I went down to Texas Motor Speedway for the Goodguys Spring Lone Star Nationals. See the other posts here:

 Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5  Full Gallery

We had a great location for watching the vehicles coming and going.

Loved this kool 36

Fantastic flames

I need one

and one of these.

Who wants to buy 200,000 shirts so I can get a new mobile home like this?

Last time I was at this show I shot a couple of photos of this car, before I got home it had suffered some intense damage in an accident on the freeway. It’s good to see it back to life and looking good.

 

Too much patina?

On my wishlist

$8500 is not a horrible price for this almost there hotrod.

Great looking business coupe

Nice work by Hatfield Restorations

More to come tomorrow! Click any of the photos to go to the entire gallery.

See you at a show,
