[Forrest]

Ok ... couple more ...



For you guys heading to Reno ... these were @ the Hilton.

People complain about the traffic during HAN. I actually like sitting at the lights and watching all these cars go by. I was at the light by the Hilton today and saw a car show just waiting for green!

Where's the MOPAR iron Forrest?

I'm trying to find it!!! :-laf



No ... was only doing a quick Corvette scan for RonA at a few location/casino parking lots. When it comes to trucks, very rarely you'll see a Powerwagon, but mostly Chevy & Ford stepsides. That's ok ... outstanding paint jobs. Some of these paint jobs cost more than I paid for the Moneysink.

Where's the MOPAR iron Forrest?

What a weekend! I already made reservations at the Hilton for next year. Saw some really nice cars at the Hilton and the Peppermill. Didn't make it down to the Atlantis to see what was there, but I drove by it on the way to the auction. Just didn't have time to stop in. Got some more autographs to add to my collection. Show some good concerts. Bobby Vee wasn't as good as he was back in the day, but Peter Noone hasn't changed a bit. The highlight of my trip came on Saturday. The wife and I along with my folks cruised down to Tahoe that morning to just say we've been there and try to find a friend of my dad's. As I passed by the Crystal Bay Casino I saw on the sign out front that Dick Dale was there that night. I made a hard left into the parking lot and ran in to find out the details. I ended up sitting in the front row.



Forrest, are those last few pics at the Atlantis? It looks like the hotel in the background.



Bill, I have one shot of a gig, orange Powerwagon from the Hilton. I'll try and post it soon.

 

[Forrest]

Howdy Jeff, yes, they were taken @ the Atlantis. The Atlantis had a long S shaped drive thru for the hot rods. You could walk along & look @ the cars as they were trolling thru. Sweeeeet.



Here's the Batmobile coming in from the side street to the beginning of the drive thru.

A buddy of mine and i were up there today, but not for no old roach gassers. We found 3 98' 4x4 12 valves for sale down the street from the Peppermill. He bought one of them. . the other was a reg cab 98 12v 4x4 auto with lots of upgrades for $15k. . and best part, no CALifornia taxes Oo.

I'm moving in a couple of weeks so I didn't get down there to see any of the cars and trucks. I wish my '56 Chevy P/U looked as good as the one posted! It is available for a project if anyone is interested feel free to PM me.
