Brothers Show

went to the Brothers Show today and met some members of the board there.
Bam, BC Toy Chest, V Dog, Hot rod 1, Kustombrad, Chevy Resto guy and a bunch from the 67-72 section that my old brain has trouble remembering the screen names of.
It's great to be able to put faces to the guys we talk on line to.
Also took a few pics.
Kim

Re: Brothers Show

Hey Kim and Hotrod1, thanks for posting pics. It was really nice meeting all the new guys I've met and hooking up with the guys I've met before.

It was really a cool show.

Here is Brad's (kustombrad) Truck

Re: Brothers Show

It was a great time meeting up again with with Bam and Kim and finally meeting BCToychest, VDog, Youngsta, Dino, and Delmo (and countless others). The show seems to get better every year. It's funny how Bam and I always talk about the fact that we have to quit being spectators and start being participants. You too, Kim!

The truck that blew me away was Hilton Vail's black '55 Chevy. Off the hook, and built completely at home by one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. The execution and attention to detail were amazing. You'll be seeing a lot of this truck in the upcoming magazines.

It was great talking to all of you 47-55 guys also. Thanks for letting me invade your group.
Im sure we will all meet up on Kabwe's build giving him praise, asking questions, and just a plain old hardtime for the heck of it.

That is 47-59 thank you.lol We need those extra 4 years to try to come close to the numbers you guys have. Man when you 1960's truck guys roll, you roll. Full BBQ going and all of the guys I met were very friendly not like you VDog.lol

Same here it was nice to meet all of you guys, I had a gr8 time. Yeah restoguy I know what you mean about being a spectator. But after seeing some of those trucks I am going to be a spectator a little while longer, lol. I gotta tighten up some loose ends. I'll post some pics later of some trucks that I thought were out of this world. That C-10 CROWD , MAN THOSE GUYS HAD SOME IMPRESSIVE LOOKING STUFF!!! Hilton's '55 actually made me think why bother with my project, hahahaha. It's all good I can dream can't I? I just need to keep striving to do my best with my bucket. That truck was my favorite.

Re: Brothers Show

Yep Hilton Vail is a really nice guy and its great to talk to someone that knows about their car at a car show. I've been to car shows lately and the person that owns the car can't tell you anything about it. Hilton touched every piece of that black truck and was loaded with info, pics, and knowledge. Its hard to believe something on that level was done in a home garage. It just shows us what we can do if we put our minds to it.

Oh and by the way its not bagged.lol

Hey Bam:

We talked about TIG welding at the show. Have you ever seen all the videos at welding tips and tricks? He is a good teacher and the videos are good.
