Our Trip to Nashville and then to Glasgow...

stewart where is those pictures..................

I know I'm slacking

This was a really cool trip. We left the house around 6:30 am and headed to Nashville TN to pic up a wide five rim for my project. We made really good time and even stopped in at an old speed shop. It started in 1968?? Riggs? and was still going but the sell 'em in the front and build them in the back shop was no more. It now looks like a Summit or Jegs store with higher prices. The cool old neon sign was still hanging.

We made it to the guys house for the rim. It is useable and then headed north to Junkyard Junkys place.

On the way there we ran into this and thought we would bring it home. The 10.5 price tag left it sitting there.

We made it to Jonathans shop but he wasn't there. He went up north to grab a T frame. Well the complete roller with the drivetrain. It took him a while to get back but his dad kept us company and we got to look around at all of Jonathans goodies. Tons of pics. Dial up beware!

set of humps anyone?

By this time Jonathan had made it back with his frame he just bought and ask if we wanted to take a look at the other property and then on to the guys house with all the cars.
Here are just two from his other property.

We looked around a bit and checked out a few old cars and then headed out to the guys house.
Pulling up to the front I already knew this was going to be cool.

This one is for Doug Ice..

The guy that owns all of this is 76 years old. He's not just some old farm hick. He was an old hot rodder and was telling us stories about him and his brothers rods. This Olds was one of their road rockets. He lost me on the motor but I think he said it had a later Olds, souped up with an adapted Ford trans. He was also very proud of the rubber. He said that they ran the same tires as the Nascar guys did that year.
