it's only

while i liked this hot rod for it's plain hot rodness, it was the hood ornament that actually interested me at the time. i don't think she's the original ornament, or even from this model / make of car, but you can never tell what you'll find on these conglomerates of old cars.

something like this is pretty much what pops into my head when someone says they drive a hot rod: old radiator, exposed engine, flames on black paint...only diff here is that it has a mini truck bed in the caboose.

hot as i wanna be

i see this car at a few shows almost every week. finally got a shot that i like. would have been better if the hoods were down on the other cars, but oh well. not gonna ask them to close them because they're ruining the picture of this other car, especially since i didn't take pictures of those two. hoods up, cameras down.

guessing by the radiator that it's a 1929 ford model a roadster. i like the reflection in the window. just now noticed it while writing this post. yes, there were hooters girls milling about, serving drinks and food to the participants, and posing for pictures.

that's hot

this 1932 roadster was at the dove canyon show, at the 'friends' sports bar back in march. i've also seen it at fuddruckers. took this shot right before the owners called it a day. looks like it would be fun to drive, but what a mess it would make of your hair. lol.

thinking about going to pal joey's dream car revue tomorrow in santa ana. took quite a few pictures while i was there last time, and have bumped in to more than a few of those cars at other shows (not literally). nice people too. i'm so tired today...been a long week at work...just looking through some of my older pics. nice to have so many to choose from, and so many waiting for processing...sometimes i wish it would rain more often.
