33 Coupe Having Fun 30       3/8/13

I went to a show on February 23rd to a place called The Anchor Restaurant in Hemet, CA. This was a first for Larry and I so we didn't know what to expect. The show ran from 2:00 to 5:00 pm but we arrived an hour early being unaware of the parking situation.

The weather was pretty nice with temps in the low 60's along with a small amount of wind. Once the shadows starting getting longer, it cooled down pretty fast. Now normally it's all about the food at the car show that I go to but this time I didn't even go inside the place so I guess that will have to wait for another day.

They had a pretty good turnout with about 80 cars that showed up which made for a nice show. I also saw a couple of new cars that I haven't seen before so that's always nice.

Let's take a look at some of the hot rods that came out for the show.

 
 

This old truck had a lot going on so I took a few shots of it.
 

 

 

I have no idea why the owner has those close-pins on the fuel line. I never asked either.
 

 

 

Now that's one long brake lever to say the least.
 

 

 

As this truck pulled into the show, all you could hear were the open-and-closing of these caps that were over the extended exhaust pipes. It gave this truck a very unique sound (clank...clank...clank...etc).
 

 

 

I've seen this T bucket a few times which is very clean.
 

 

 

I believe this is the electric fan control on the T bucket above which I must have missed when I looked at it before. Seems like an odd place to mount it though.
 

 

 

On the other hand, I've always liked the shifter knob which looks to be an old glass doorknob, very cool.
