I wasn't supposed to be here haha
I was in the area to photograph a couple cars for a calendar, and Tim Strange said he was going to the Nats while We where talking at Custom Car Revival.
So glad I decided to go it was a incredible day, and even with the midwest heat I had a blast walking around the Fairgrounds like I did back in the Day.
Sorry I could only cover half of Saturday, but I had to go scout photoshoot locations.
Hopefully next year the schedule will allow me to spend more time because I heard the late night cruising was awesome.
Hope you enjoy the video as much as I did making it.

That show is like stepping back in time to the 90's. Lots of magazine cars that I remember seeing in Hot Rod and Car Craft back then. Troy has always been a big influence on me since his mint green 60 Chevy. He is a trend setter.

I really like/liked the ProStreet movement. I was in my early 20's, lot's of dreams but didn't have the wherewithal. A few builders set the bar quite high. I feel a lot of that quality is still a standard to be measured against.

@NotStockPhoto Жыл бұрын

A ton of the top builders of pro-touring cars started with pro-street or where heavily influenced by the movement. It’s nice to see where they came from, and where they are going

Great footage! That's certainly the land of Pro Streeters! I had forgotten about that Celebrity Eurosport. Wow, what a time capsule! Same for the 65 'bu. Still looking gorgeous today! I don't think I've ever seen those wheels except on those two cars. That soft blue 65 Chevelle 30:17 was quite a subtle stunner. Really well done.

First thing I learned about street racing...., don't race tubbed vehicles, with cartoonish rear rubber. Not a ford guy.., but that silver Merc Zypher at 9:20 looked really nice..., don't see much of those anymore.

@NotStockPhoto Жыл бұрын

Well when you have to haul them long distances for shows it’s saves wear and tear on really expensive paint jobs that you can’t just touch up easily. I’m sure the owners would much rather have driven them as well, but they are as they where for the most part since the 90’s they’d probably get locked up by Buford T Justice before they got there……..the light blue chevelle was there from Texas. Glad you partially enjoyed it even though the trailers turned you off.

@bobbycole5597 Жыл бұрын

Took my chebby two to the car craft nationals in 79 from Colorado to California. Heck of a ride. Built to drive talent to maintain. Its cool to see people keep it alive. But i work on that people spend 90k on and treat them like crap.. if you can afford a 80k truck and a 30k trailer. You'll think can afford to touch up some rock chips. Kelley heroes movie quote. There pretty but can they fight .

@NotStockPhoto Жыл бұрын

Well that’s the sad part now is you can’t build a car of this quality for 90k anymore……… and both of these cars are iconic old magazine feature cars. They have a ton of miles on them already, and they just got one of them running and back on the road in time for the event.(it’s 800 miles from Texas) They also cruised them all weekend
