Luv to see those old hotrods.....back in the day those were the things that were babe magnets....I had an old 51 Merc Coupe and a bud that ran a chrome shop...chromed everything I could get off the engine and engine compartment and drove the strip in Phoenix on the weekends with the hood off ending up each circuit at the Bob's Big Boy drive in....ahh, my wasted youth!!! (wouldn't trade it for nothin)

What a cool walk back through history. Everything from 'cheater slicks' to Herbie, and a mullet to boot! :kewl:

Yes it was. It had a built SBF, World Class T5 5 speed, vintage air conditioning, ostrich leather inserts on stock seats, aftermarket white face gauges, etc. Everything was subtle - which I like. You really had to look close to see all the cool stuff he had done to that one. I did ask the owner how come he didnt upgrade the rear brakes to disc and his reply was, 'I ran out of money'.

Where was this at? I try to hit cruises in the atlanta area when I can but this one doesn't look familiar.

Thanks Dude,
I've been to the one on Barrett quite a few times and the Riverstone one. Always wanted to do the caffeine and octane but I have a real problem getting up early enough. Have to make a point to check out the others.
Never understood why they don't do these later in the day when the sun's not so blazing hot. Cruising is supposed to be done at night.
Here's a pic of my car.

Nice.
The Caffeine & Octane is worth the early morning trip. 7am to 11am. 500+ cars and not what you're use to seeing at most cruise-ins. Lambos to Military 2.5Ts to BMW 2002s. Very cool eclectic crowd. My favorite cruise in around here by far. When the Riverstone/Canton started charging money to park your car for other people can look at it for free ... I quit going to that one.

i like the rat rod look. but it's getting common. those 2 rats look just like the many that cruise around here in tx. i saw a couple at the local watermelon festival this past weekend and i didnt even bother takin pics of em. but i did get pics of a sweet custom 61-62 vette and a few other hot rods that were there. i guess rat rods are like any pop culture thing that will prob get run into the ground.
the hot rods and trucks are classics that have stood the test of time.
