National Street Rod Association

[Elroy]

Well The National Street Rod Association is having their 2009 national meet this week end in Louisville. Here is one of 11,000 cars:







Elroy didn't take all that many pictures. We have a few more to post up if you're interested.

I would love to see more. I was last at the Nationals in 1994 for the 25th Anniversary. I would love to get back. Please post some more photos.

I was there all afternoon today. It's going to be so weird next year to see cars up to 1980 there. They are switching to a 30 year rule, 30 years old or older.

I bought a set of the soft sanding blocks, the guy demo'd them and they look like just the ticket for the sanding I have to do on my Corvette project.

Enjoy the event, this year will probably be the last "real" street rod nationals ever held.

So when are we going then ??

I've had so many invites & I just can't seem to get there (the States)
Bonneville will be on the list just as some of the large swaps & SEMA.

Any more pic's ???

Next year, I may go via South America and look for some Falcons. I would be going for the nationals but from what I read here it just may not be the same.
SEMA would be good but that is about the same time as Bendigo Swap meet for us I think.

I have no idea.

Looks like it is held in ONE BIG GARAGE.

 

[Hapis]

Thanks for the pics. I would have to go with no $$$ because I sure wouldn't come home w/ any!

I have to assume you never watched the cartoon TV show "The Jetsons"?

 

[Uncle Buck]

Very well done Elroy old chap! Clearly no one besides me noticed, or mentioned the nice birdie you shared in the reflection of the flying eyeball! You naughty lad you!

 

[Elroy]

It's all in fun Buck. Sad day if someone thinks that was directed at them personally.

By the way, that was a 40 Ford Super Deluxe and needless to say, the paint was flawless.

Maybe next year....

Surely no one had a problem with that did they? I would have been disappointed if you had not done something like that! It is all part of the joy that is Elroy!!!!!!!!!!!

Those may just come in handy! How much where they?

 

[Elroy]

We have no idea either. Elroy thought they just looked cool

I am going to have to report you for defacing government property, Elroy.

Is it me or does this oil filter look way too close the the frame? Cool picts.

Just as long as it's not assassination.

As far as the filter is concerned, It's all jambed in there tight. That's the joys of ownership.

 

[Fins/413]

I didn't know Honest Charleys was still in biddness. Nice hole punch. As for the hot rods I give one of my nads for one.

 

[GearBeer]

Man, that oil filter is tight. At least they have easy access to the engine to lift it a little to do an oil change!

I'd find a shorter filter.

 

[MXtras]

A remote filter would be my choice.


MXtras appreciates the photos, Elroy.

 

[mikeesracing]

He needs to use the filter that came on the 86-93 5.0 mustangs. Its easyer than a remote and less plumbing.

I've run the half size one on my Rod for years (dayly driver)

Is the reason why many still (too many LOL) put a SBC in these cars - the SBC filter is on the rear and vertical, hard to get a stock Ford filter to fit the frame rails. That's a custom frame, but looks like you still have to jack the motor up on that side to change the filter. Could just be the angle of the photo - might just clear the rail.

 

[Bib Overalls]

Can he even get the filter off without pulling the motor?

 

[brwbier]

My guess is the filter is not as close as it looks. Its just an illusion caused by the angle of the picture.
