NASC Street Rod Nationals Photos (lots of them!)

[trigger]

I thought it would be best to start a new thread for this one as i took 322 photos!

 

It was a great day as always, Great to see such diversity at the show, The kind of stuff you never see at normal car shows are always there.

 

The best part is the fact that the showground it's held on it's only 6-7 minutes up the road from my house so it's nice and local too!.

 

The rest of the set is here http://www.flickr.com/photos/triggersca ... 942662406/ and these photos are in no order.

 

 

I love big Yankie truck, the also love the patina on them, how ever fake it is.

 

 

This Zephyr is running a 6.7 litre lump, (Notice the orange Kadett next door )

 

 

 

1978 called, It wants it's Minor back.

 

 

 

 

Nice little set up going on here, The C-750 is stunning and Henry Hirise appears to be famous.

 

 

 

 

 

If you haven't already guessed, This was a Hillman Imp, Not sure what to make of it really.

 

 

This little Crossley sounded great when i heard it racing across the field.

 

 

This 1924 Studebaker Small Bock Chevy 6.0 V8 Hot Rod is one of only 4 left in the world.

 

 

 

This is a Standard 12, It won a prize on the day for the work involved.

 

 

 

 

Another prize winner was this amazing Ford Squire, I can't even begin to tell you how good it looked close up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wuvvum's old 104 i think, This was on the Retro car club stand, they won best club stand, They was also the only club stand.

This is a very cool kids go-kart.

 

 

 

This looked terrifying, It's a 1950 Ford of some kind, I loved it though.

 

 

 

 

Pete_M's Jag's engine lives inside this '36 Morris 14, I bet it's fun to drive, Worryingly the nearside rear arch was touching the wheel whilst the offside had about 10mm clearance?.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was spinning all over the place once it started raining.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Living the dream

 

 

 

 

 

 

The famous DW's Diner, Still looking great.

This sounded immense when driving about, it would set all the car alarms off!.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was listed as one owner from new and up for sale for £11000.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The paint work on this Caddy was amazing, It also won a prize.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm... Something doesn't look right there, 2CV8?...

 

 

OH!

This was once an Estate, Now it's some kind of Pick Up?.

This was for sale for £850, One for Hirst's fleet?.

Another one of my favorites, This is a Australian import, I got told that Ford would assemble them over here, Then flat pack them into a crate over to Aussie as it was cheaper that way, This one came back though like a boomering.

Fantastic! And not a butchered Volvo Amazon to be seen!

 

Those photos take be back to the early '80's when Mutha Claim would take me to the Belle Vue hot rod and custom show.

[trigger]

Last few!

 

 

 

 

 

This guy had built most of this himself and shaped all the front front steel, He had made a nice job of it.

The owner of this marvellous combo (Dale) lives right near to me!

 

He is going through rather a messy marriage break up at the moment and does actually live full time in that caravan

Here's Dale playing with his balls.

 

[Rusty Pelican]

Fantastic photos , thanks for sharing

No idea why but i love this one

 

[whitevanman]

Crackin pics Trigger but that orange Cortina is a pile of shit.....and it's not often I say that about a Cortina

[trigger]

Fantastic photos , thanks for sharing

No idea why but i love this one

 

I loved it as well, I love rods like this, It's as if they are a work of art some of them with the detail involved.

 

 

And yes i agree WVM, It was shite!

[Rusty Pelican]

^^^^^^^^^ Love this or hate it , Being able to build and drive a car like this on UK roads legally is one of the very few things good about this god forsaken shitehole of a country , try doing this in Switzerland or loads of other countries would be a no no .

For this reason alone , im still here

It's a 1962 Dodge Lancer, I can't decide if it's very pretty or just plain ugly?.

 

[morris_ital_lover]

Its also a TV star, it was in the audi r8 spider advert... A lovely selection of cars there but some interesting ones too, such as the consul capri with mk4 golf headlights!?

 

m0rris

 

btw can anyone tell me what the grey/mauve coupe a couple of cars down from the top is?

[trigger]

I guess you mean the A40

 

 

I've photograpghed it before, last time there was this note with it, that should explain it more.

 

[morris_ital_lover]

Thanks.. I love it!

[Gompo]

Thanks for the pics Trigwild, a great selection of cars.

 

Hirst's future Buick (?) looked class, although the Ford Squire and the light green Corsair are possibly my favourites.

 

Cheers, Greg.

Well said.

[worldofceri]

Oh, and wicked pics Trigger.

[seth]

Fab lot of pics Trigger. Always used to go to the Nats when it was in Essex, then it went a bit shit when it was near Luton and now its way too far for a day trip...

 

Ca I be all elitist and say that rat rod thingy is a real waste of a Model A body.

[bigstraight6]

Great selection of pics, thanks for sharing. The custom/rodding followers have some very creative thinking and practical talent

[reallyloud]

Great selection of cars - something for everyone I think.

 

 

This Imp is really bizarre. I wonder what goes through someones mind when they decide to do this!

 

 

But this does for me.

That Squire was amazing, a really well sorted car, It was one of the prize winners at the end of the day it was that good and it always had a crowd around it and he also got the biggest cheer when he collected his award, And rightly so, I couldn't fault a thing about it.
