Looks like a hot wheels car with that stance!

 

Let's see some Pro Street cars !!!

 

OK, all. You KNOW that there is Hot Rods and Hatters in Lockhart, first weekend in Feb 2019? Get's HUGER every year!

I got's HUGE photo albums from previous....

 

Heavy Larry Shinoda influence, which is a great thing.

 

Sweet Jesus.

 

You know, could be a good excuse for some mini-meet, and BBQ!

Did I mention, it's all free?

 

...^^^... Ditto ...

FWIW ... Several of the guys from Diamond Reo and old White Motors ... left those companies and started Spartan Motors in Charlotte, MI. They started out building fire truck chassis' in the 1970's and later Spartan Motors went public (has several divisions now) and builds everything from fire trucks, motor home, commercial vehicles to MRAP military vehicles.. I was a young guy in the business and knew those older guys well ... back when.

They are in competition with another old company that I semi-worked with ... Oshkosh ... the "King Daddy" of that area.

 

Just sold the first 'toy' car in the household. Farewell Z car..

 

That's badass, I had a high school friend that was also into mopars, he first had a 64 Valiant convertible baby blue, /6 sporting side pipes. Later he had a blue 71 RR again side pipes he loved then sidepipes, and the last I saw he had a black 71 RR much like this, black with 340 4-speed and air grabber hood but white strobe stripes. That yellow is even meaner.

 

That car really looks good in black.

 

Here it is again.

We have some interest.
Here is my plot. I sort of know the guys at Kruez Market. MAYBE we can get some reserved spots for a mini meet out by the wood pile. MAYBE if I promise we will eat some lunch there, we can even get a discount with ID. Maybe not. It's still the best in Lockhart.
So - if I can get the spot, and you want to come in the AM, have a BBQ lunch, and tour some more....?
What 'cha think?
You will be hard pressed to find a parking spot, and it will be all over. Only a few blocks walk from Kruez'. And there will probably be 1000 or so rods to look at.
I think - PM me if you are interested to start, and if we have a group, then we can share to our locales. Que Pasa?

 

Any idea on a timeline as to when this would go down? if we could get a group together to go, i would be willing to make the drive! I may be a bit confused, but is this an annual show that just happened? I.e. are we making plans for next years meet?

 

This is an ANNUAL show in Lockhart. The folks that promote it are the family of Texas Hatters. (Need a hat? come to Lockhart). It started 5 years ago with about 50 cars, and a few blocks cordoned off downtown. Now, it is well over 1000 cars of all kinds, and it completely will blanket downtown Lockhart. All the info is on FB, so I have no other way to share their stuff. - but GOOGLE HOT RODS N HATTERS LOCKHART. You will get more links. Here is their website I didn't know about - haven't even been there.

I figure if there are 10-20 TTC that want to come, it will be worth asking the BBQ joint if we can park and "show"!

 

Well hell.. i just checked feb 1st and 2nd. Im gonna be busy af for tax season..

 

@rjbiii and @TacoDude 72 are interested. If I can get 10-20 interested parties, I will go through with this. It's all free, it's not a C&C, but you can bring some coffee. You should feel obligated to eat BBQ for free parking. Last year was "weather challenged". Look at the crowd! this could be a fun non-event.
