2012 Portland Roadster Show Photos.

Jean and I drove down to the Portland Roadster show yesterday. 170 miles each way 8.00 to park and 15 each to get in but there were around 400 entries in the show and the overall quality was very high with very few of what I'd call "filler" cars in the show.

The AD GM trucks made a decent showing with even a couple of them in feature spots.

Lets start with a very nice burb

Something distorted this photo.


The lighting wasn't good for photos but it was great for looking.
Nice 5 window.









Fun sign board

This truck was one of the most outstanding vehicles in the show no matter what style it was. The workmanship was world class. Everything flowed end to end even if you don't like some of the mods.

This one was clean.


Slick 68




Bad photo of an awesome Burb in the GM performance display.

Pretty stock 8 lugger but oh wow was it nice.






454 under the hood.


There are 400 photo here http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w...adster%20Show/ I'd suggest using the slideshow feature.

Sorry about all the glare and reflected lights in the photos, I'm going to have to upgrade to a camera that I can use filters on the lens to combat that.

The suburban on post 4 I am pretty sure is a forum member. Fred's Carryall is the thread name.

That green truck is gorgeous. I really like the hood modification.

Re: 2012 Portland Roadster Show Photos.

Don't post much over in this section that much but I was hoping to see pictures of the Komlofske truck (green one). Just like all the past years when the roadster show come up I either don't have money or something is broke down, so I didn't make ti this year. Pictures don't do it any justice, It says a lot when a truck finishes in the great 8. All of the trucks look amazing thought, trophies or not.
