Re: Saturday pics (4-18) Spring Rod Run
looks like the 57 runs, but that appears to be a mock-up block and probably has an air-cooled engine underneath. just going by the fact that theres no water pump bosses cast into it. would be a hell of a ride if it was a sbc.

Re: Saturday pics (4-18) Spring Rod Run
Thanks guys!
I've seen ride on scooters like this before that have briggs engines (or something similar) hidden under the body. I'm pretty sure that this one had one of those "mock up" blocks like you see in the parts stores with all the chrome goodies on it. You'll also notice that there is no distributor. The wires just run from one side of the dummy block to the other. It was difficult to get a clear shot of it with all the people crowding around it. As far as it not being a show...You're correct! None of these were taken on the show grounds. There are thousands of cars and trucks that just come up to cruise the strip. People know that there are going to be a lot of guys wandering around with car/truck fever due to seeing all of these old vehicles that they wish they could call their own so they slap a "For Sale" sign on em. Most of them aren't really for sale. They've got "Dream Prices" on them. On the other hand, if you're a motivated seller and have got your ride priced to sell, this is the place to make it happen. I've heard rumors of suitcases of cash changing hands at this event, but I've never seen it. One of my first trips I made to this show I did watch two guys negotiating a trade on a couple of Pro-street cars, the trailers they were hauled in on and the tow rigs. I've got a buddy that drove his 70-73 RS Camaro up there and plopped a for sale sign on it and the car was sold in less then ten minutes. He priced it for more then what he had in it but apparently it was still to cheap. He says now that he should have just pulled the sign and told the guys that were argueing about which one of em saw it first that it was no longer for sale....Then get in it and drive down the strip find a new parking spot and mark it up! I've got another friend that bought a kit/custom bike that was covered with chrome and billet for less then what the engine would have cost him to replace...the bike had 300 miles on it. Deals do happen at this show. I guess you've just gotta be at the right place at the right time. |

Re: Saturday pics (4-18) Spring Rod Run
I really like that first series 55 truck with the Foose wheels. That thing is sick. And for some reason the all white look on that Cheyenne really has me thinking about painting mine all white. Just something classic and simple about it. Lots of amazing pics. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Saturday pics (4-18) Spring Rod Run
Hey See Ten,
You asked about the finish on those wheels... My powder coater is able to give you that look... He has textured gray powder that looks great on wheels... He actually gave his recipe for the color to Billet Specialities for the wheels they sell with the textured centers and spokes...

Re: Saturday pics (4-18) Spring Rod Run
There was some top notch cars & trucks there. I walked around for two days, but still didn't see some of the ones you got pictures of. Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Saturday pics (4-18) Spring Rod Run
I think the truck is this one...... Toomanytoyz pointed it out. I know what he is thinking. Has to be this one. Has the same wheels and interior. Has some paint added to the top now. Linky Quote:

Re: Saturday pics (4-18) Spring Rod Run
I am not sure if you young whipper snappers can remember but a few years back,ok several years back there was a model cars called Zingers,they were little cars with big motors and that 57 sure does remind me of those days.
