[ccracin]

Dad and I are in! Every year, it's a can't miss.

[Musclerodz]

We will be there as well. Can't miss event every year!

[Spiffav8]

Laurie and I will be there.

:unibrow:

[tazzz2_ca]

I'll be there

[Spiffav8]

Soooo....there's a whooping six or so of us going? Crazy! :lol:

[Fluid Power]

I am going.

[Spiffav8]

I am going.

Up that number to 7 then! :thumbsup:

[Ron in SoCal]

Up that number to 7 then! :thumbsup:

Make it eight. I think Gonzo's going as well...

[toddshotrods]

I should be there, considering I'm already here. I am trying to decide if I'm doing all three days this year (as a spectator again), since I still don't have a hot rod ready... :rolleyes: :mad:

Last year this time, there was a list of possible SMOY and SROY contestants, as well as enthusiasts coming to soak it all in - why is it so quiet this year?

Making me :_paranoid

[CarterHickmanDesigns]

I will be there with new toys to sell! :)

[aany001]

Add 2 more we will be there!:thumbsup:

[k7king]

I'll be there with my 63 Tempest

[Spiffav8]

Sweet! This is looking better and better every day. Looking forward to meeting a few more of my fellow :lateral: brothers. :yes:

[hifi875]

maybe meet up somewhere at show(autocross area of course) or at the host hotel

[ProPont]

Wouldn't miss it. It's my favorite show. Bringing my son also, will be his first time at the Big One!!

[Spiffav8]

Not a bad idea. I know Iron Works is going to have their rig located by the autocross track. Think that's a big enough beacon. :lol:

There ya go! :thumbsup:

[Garage Dog 65]

The Ironworks hauler is going to be setup right behind the autocross area.

Should be a convenient location for a little Lat-G gathering. :lateral:

Jim

[wiedemab]

I'll be there along with my Dad - -in my 52 Chevy Truck and his '67 Chevy II

[Musclerodz]

Give me a time and will be there:thumbsup:

[toddshotrods]

We've been throwing lots of logs on the fire here, to get it nice and toasty for you guys. 90s and lots of humidity seem to be the norm... The (un-watered) lawns are almost completely brown already and "summer" just started.

Bring sunscreen, sombreros, umbrellas, and a big drink budget... :cool:

Cool, looking foward to seeing your AD.

[Spiffav8]

Looks like I'm going to finish the Camaro just in time. Man....hope I didn't speak to soon.:_paranoid

All the other guys can thank you, for making me stay away! :rofl:

Lol, better for people to know and come prepared. :cool: Anyone can watch the weather and see what's been going on in the Midwest this spring and summer. We're supposed to hit triple digits here in Columbus tomorrow, with good old Ohio-class humidity to boot. :wow: :faint:

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN WILMINGTON HAS ISSUED A HEAT
ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TO 8 PM EDT THURSDAY.

* LOCATIONS...CENTRAL OHIO.

* HEAT INDEX VALUES...FROM 100 TO 102 DEGREES.

* TIMING...THE HIGHEST HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL BE DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS ON THURSDAY.

* IMPACTS...HEAT STROKE...HEAT EXHAUSTION AND OTHER HEAT RELATED
ILLNESSES WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IF YOU SPEND A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME OUTDOORS...OR ARE INVOLVED IN ANY
STRENUOUS OUTDOOR ACTIVITY.

Maybe you should come to the Easyrider's bike show here in February, if the Goodguy's show heat and humidity are too much. :rofl:

[Garage Dog 65]

Oh Boy !

105 here in Indy yesterday and it should be 104 today....

I can't wait to hit the cool black asphalt of Columbus in this heat !!!!


Jim

[toddshotrods]

Jim
:yes: We *only* hit 100 yesterday, mere mid-upper 90s today. :lol: Being flat, Columbus usually has a nice breeze. It felt like sitting behind a radiator fan yesterday. :rofl:

[Garage Dog 65]

I shot the sidewalk with an infrared yesterday at 5 pm - 150 degrees ! Beautiful !!!

:lol:

Todd, Catch ya at the Ironworks trailer if you decide to come out.

Jim

[GregWeld]

...... keep talking...... it's really reinforcing why I've never been there. :lol:

[Garage Dog 65]

It's the reason my wife seldom goes along. There is just no place to get away from the pavement, sunburns and the heat. It can get rough.

Smokin! :D I'm definitely going to the show, not sure what times and days yet. I've done all three days for the past couple years, I think two days the year before that, due to rain one day. I haven't decided whether I'm in for the whole kit and kaboodle this year yet, or what day(s) I'm going if not. If I'm there then, I'll come say hey. :yes:


...... keep talking...... it's really reinforcing why I've never been there. :lol:
I actually thought about you today as I walked out of work and waded through the "Ohio soup" to my car. :rofl:



To get a break from the heat just go walk through the indoor vendors, catch some of the talks and demonstrations, and the stuff in the main auditorium (Disclaimer: I've never done the second two things). Going inside, enjoying the band, and watching the awards presentations and parade through the building is the ultimate cap for an awesome weekend. You're out of the oven, preferably with a beverage in hand, and all the sights, sounds, and sensations are still fresh in your mind as you sit and enjoy.

Plus, it's only three days... We've probably all suffered through much worse, for much less, in our lives. ;)

[GregWeld]

I'm actually just kidding about not coming because of the weather... it's really more that I'm busy. I've been gone almost all of June -- and Rudy would really like his car this summer... I've only had it 16 months now. Hey! What's he want for free - his money back?

Rear end is all in and set - took it all out today and started on the floor replacement.... once that's done I'm good to give it back to him. So I'm jammin' on it daily now.

So, you traded the one, the only, Hot & Sticky Columbus Mega Show, for a little race in a dinky little town that thinks it's a whole country, and romping around Europe in a big Benz with a driver - you gotta get your priorities in order mister! :rofl: :rofl:

I hope I'm still here, or have plans to come back for the show, by the time you make it here. :thumbsup: I wanna see you lose your cool. :faint: :lol:

I think I'll just come to the West Coast someday to see the little red roadster. It's a car I will always remember because I saw something in me through it, and it changed my thinking and plans...

[Spiffav8]

Hate to say it but it looks like Laurie and I have had a last minute change of plans. It came down to Laurie's work schedule, which is anything but flexible. So our plan is to stay home and relax. While it's a bummer to miss out on the fun, I am looking forward to some down time with my girl.

See you all at SEMA! :unibrow:

[Ron in SoCal]

^ Dude you suck....but Laurie's cool :D

[Spiffav8]

I'm still going to call and bug you while you're at the event. :lol:

Yeah -- At least I had a good excuse -- like... I'm a ps'y and don't like heat and humidity - and especially when they are mixed!

[toddshotrods]

... I'm a ps'y...
"Props" for having the courage to "come out" and own it. :rofl:



...and don't like heat and humidity - and especially when they are mixed!
You would not have appreciated this year then. The Midwest is smokin hot, literally. We're set for triple digits again tomorrow, high 90s Saturday, and a cool, balmy, 91 Sunday; when the "cold" front comes through. :cheers:

I think I am going to skip tomorrow, and go Saturday and Sunday. I forgot to request Friday off, and might just go make a few bucks to cover what I eat Saturday and Sunday. :lol:

[toddshotrods]

For all of you who decline to enjoy our hot rod sauna, I will do my best to bring it to you via the lens of my little pocket Nikon. I have a habit of only seeing the "big money" cars in this type of environment, so hopefully others will contribute as well. :thumbsup:

And, hopefully, we'll entice you to start applying the sunscreen and sombreros for next year! I might move eventually, but will always try to come back for this one - it's really an awesome event, that's worth a couple/few days in the heat. The competition for SMOY, SROY, and the autocross, in middle of 6000 cars, and thousands of enthusiasts, brings the fun at all levels. :yes:

Edit: I had never been to this show, until a few years ago, when I moved here. I like variety and, even though I didn't live that far away, I had always assumed that the 72 cutoff would make it a boring show for me - NOT!

[OLDFLM]

For all of you up north enjoying the heat and humidity... it's sunny and 86 in Florida! :rofl:

Spent the weekend thru the 4th in Stuart FL enjoying the ocean breeze! :thumbsup:

Looking forward to the pictures! :thumbsup:

[Stuart Adams]

Pics?

[toddshotrods]

I didn't go today, but will be there tomorrow, bright and early. The pics from my camera have to be re-sized, and compressed, so I was trying to find a way to share live from the event, via my iPhone. Just using the browser it won't let me upload directly to this site ("choose file" buttons are inactive). I can easily upload them to a page on my site, but most forums ban posting links to external sites, so I wasn't sure if that's cool. I thought about posting them to my biz Facebook page (which is currently dormant), but again that would be an external link.

Suggestions?

In any case, the real pics (from me) will follow tomorrow evening... :thumbsup:

I'm sooo ready to go roast tomorrow. :yes:

Edit: just figured out that I can hot link them from the page on my site into this thread. It's a pretty clunky way to accomplish it, but I'll try it. There probably won't be many because of how much effort it takes and how fast iPhone batteries deplete, but maybe I can give a sneak preview (if no one else does before then).

[garickman]

Any info at all??? How did the autocross go, who showed up with what cars? ANYTHING?????

[toddshotrods]

Countdown... I'm stoked. I woke up at 5am, two full hours before my alarm was programmed! I set a second one for 6am (meant to do that anyway), but couldn't return to the Sandman's lair. I'm wide-eyed and ready. :_paranoid

It was 100 or a bit more yesterday. The forecast says 103-104 today, with "miserable" level humidity - can't wait to get out in it! :thumbsup: :cheers:

For anyone going that's still reading this thread: if you see a old little geezer, with a handful of 20-somethings, some of us with this on our backs, say hey. :)

The SMOY was lite this as far as number of competitors. The Ring brothers 65 mustang was incredible. Extremely well thought out and executed with amazing attention to detail. A beautiful 69 Camaro that was Audi Lava Gray.

My battery for the camera took a dump about 4 pictures in and no backup.

If you like hot rods, the 32 Ford built by Goolsby Customs with a nickel plated flat head is amazing. Pics on facebook if you like goodguys, but none on their website.

The auto cross was spectacular, the DSE boys (and girls) were bringing it. The Ride Tech 33 squealed around the track and sounded great. My favorite was the RS boys in their c10 pickup. An incredible machine with a big block ls motor, monster size wheels and mile deep orange paint in the original style of the trucks for that year. Check it out on the Roadstershop website under projects.

It's hot but manageable. I mean, it's usually 95* and humid, so what if it is 100* and humid. There are thousands of cars to look at! Tons of buildings with a/c! No excuses!

Jeff and I would still like to show the car some place just not sure where now.

SEMA!! :unibrow:

[toddshotrods]

Sorry guys, my phone chewed through the battery pretty quickly, and I had to back off my clunky upload/posting process. I actually tried to send one last one after I got back to my car and plugged in, but obviously didn't hit "submit"!:rolleyes: :lol: It was the SMOY and SROY winners. So here they are first.

I'll probably have a few more to add tomorrow. One of the days I typically spend doing more investigating than picture snapping, but I'll try to remember to capture things that catch my eye, that I don't have already.

Np! :thumbsup:

Some I forgot, including a couple rats. The truck is really interesting. The "stitched" on cab corner is my favorite part. :)

Greg, it's only going to be 89 today - how fast can you make it here? :D

[toddshotrods]

This is the last car I worked on before selling my shop and moving to Columbus, in 2008. To my surprise he just popped up at Goodguys yesterday, so I pointed him back to the "second tier". He received a lot of compliments, and a handful were directed to me. The design/techniques/processes were my ideas, he did a majority of the work (body shop owner). I grafted the Mini lights into the fiberglass race clip, and made the hood from a Harwood scoop and the two-layer (stock style) race hood. I designed the dash and rear fascia and set up the bucks for him to build them, plus did some of the initial 'glass lay-up on them. I designed and tested the hood hinges in CAD, and had them cut. The mounting blocks that bolt to the hood were supposed to be sculptured, but he didn't have the budget for more CNC, at the time, and I guess not the patience to hand carve them. The hood/fender mounts, tach mount, shifter gate plate and knob are my design and work - those were fun to do. The gate plate is hammered from a 3/4" piece of flat 6061, and hand shaped (with die grinders and right-angle grinders). There are some pieces missing on the hood/fender mounts, and they were originally supposed to be TIG'd and left that way for a fabricated look, but the welder was so awful we had to blend them. :rolleyes:

Overall, I'm not really happy with the final outcome, but I guess that's a normal thing as you look back. There are a lot of things I would do different; a lot of things I wouldn't do now... I almost begged him not to fill the quarter windows, before I left, I lost that one! :P

Super Sunday! :yes: The puller tractor had a blown 125in single cylinder. He said it has an Arias (I think) aircraft piston, custom crank, rod, and case. I asked if he'd ever dyno'd it - he said no, but the theoretical combination was too much for a 300hp software dyno. I think he said he's running 38lbs of boost.

Another awesome event. :thumbsup:

Remember waaaaay back when? If you didn't go to a show, you had to wait for your buddy to get back, then wait for him to get his film developed, then find the time to get together so you could see the pics (provided the pics were any good)
Aren't we spoiled?
Tons of great pics, RIGHT NOW....
I love it!

You're like the Superman of the Torino world - every time an image or the mention of one pops up, you're there! :lol:

I just can't stop checking in to see the cool shots you're posting.:D That fact Torinos are the next Camaro and are everywhere just can't be ignored:rofl: :rofl:

Thanks again for providing all the photos for those of us who didn't endure the humidity to enjoy those builds in person.

I spent at least an hour in Pomona looking at George Ps car. There isn't a lot of Torino left there, it's a 69 Troy.

No prob. Of course, if I was in SoCal there's a good chance I wouldn't have been here either. I've been trying to get there for 32 years. I might never leave once I finally make it! :lol:

Those two guys standing behind it were discussing that when I got there. The one in the gray shirt kept saying, "I think it's a Torino... Yeah, it's a Torino." Then waivering back to uncertainty. I confirmed it was, indeed, a Torino then started backing back out of the conversation, when he started talking about what was different.

It was the end of the event, the heat and humidity had beat on me for two days, and I was ready to hit the road - no time to try to explain what Troy did to a car with Poteet's backing. :faint: :rofl:

It'd be decent with some Intros.....

That goes without saying; everything is decent with Intros.

Todd :thumbsup: from all the hommies that didn't go!

[toddshotrods]

I used to sit behind my computer screen wishing someone, anyone, would post pics of the Detroit Autorama, who's in the Great 8, who won the Ridler - every year, year after year. So, since I'm there taking pictures anyway, I make it a point to share. It's more fun this way, anyway. :cheers:

Nice! :yes: I missed the SMOY autocross runs, and for some reason never thought to raise my camera during the parts of the Sponsor and Vendor competitions I watched.

[Garage Dog 65]

Nice '62 lurking in there somewhere... :D




What ? This thing Greg ??

We used it as a packing crate for all the booth displays, coolers, T Shirts and awning lights... and we still had TONS of space left over for even more stuff !!!!

:wow:

Todd thanks for the nice pictures. Someday I'll get to a Good Guy event.

Yup! :thumbsup: I'm ready to experience some of the other ones now. I know Columbus is their "Big One", but I'd just like to experience the atmosphere in other places - especially on the West Coast. I also need to go to SEMA, GNRS, etc. Bucket list... :yes:


Greg I finally figured out why you don't want to come here - you're in one of the few places in the 48 states that isn't roasting. :P You gonna hide in the corner all summer?! :lol:

Todd.... Dude.... you've cracked my dirty little secret wide open!


Seriously -- while we have a nasty rainy gray dismal few months (like November to July 5th) -- there is no place nicer than the Pacific NorthWET in the summer (July 5th until mid October).

We do not have big bugs.... we rarely have lightening storms.... we DO NOT have humidity issues.... we rarely see 90*'s... and here in the Seattle area we have wonderful mountains and a geographic anomaly called the Puget Sound... which acts like a giant refrigerator. So every afternoon -- about 5:30/6:00 a nice breeze brings cool air for perfect sleeping.

I can see absolutely no reason to leave here in July/August/September. :unibrow:

[Ketzer]

Yep, right about the time you geezers turn in for the night... :D









Seriously though, that would be my dream place to live. Somewhere that doesn't get crazy hot humid miserable. Kudos to you for embracing the positive and not getting hung up on the gray days.

Hey! I think I'm about the same age as Greg, and I'll have you know - on a good night I can make it until midnight before my head starts bobbing! :rofl:

Gray days are used for EXCUSES to get the hell out of here.... you know -- like SEMA - Grand National Roadster Show - Del Mar - Thunderhill - Buttonwillow etc...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA

Tried a different way of responding - this is a test.....
