More from the Rolling 50's Spring Cruise-In

As we walked around and checked out all of the vehicles, I was wishing that I had driven the Nifty Fifty to the show.
There are still a couple of things I'd like to get done before we host the Wilbur Wright show on June 20th. I've got a split manifold that I'd like to get on the car, and then find someone to bend some pipe for me to get dual exhausts on. I also need to make some patterns for interior panels for both sides of the back seat. I've got some mexican blanket pieces left over from when I made the door panels, I'd like to use them for the interior panels in the back as well.

Friend's Hubby's Rat rod...

Somehow I looked over posting these 2 photographs after the Richmond, IVY Tech show a few weeks ago.

This rat belongs to the husband of a friend I used to work with a few years ago. I usually see this car (and his other vehicle...a BEAUTIFUL 1956 Chevrolet Belair) at a few shows throughout the summer and fall. Although he didn't enter the car in the IVY Tech show, it still got a lot of attention in the parking lot.

Rolling 50's Spring Cruise-In, Greenville, Ohio




This Chevy wasn't in the show, but we parked beside it in the parking lot.

Well, the weather was a bit chilly Saturday afternoon, so I decided not to drive the Nifty Fifty over to Greenville, Ohio Saturday evening for the annual Rolling 50's Spring Cruise-In.

The cruise-in was held in the Kroger grocery parking lot, from 5 to 8 pm. I had to be in Arcanum, Ohio @ 7 pm, so my oldest son and I headed to the cruise-in before I made the trip to Arcanum.

The weather was actually WARMER during the cruise-in than it had been in the afternoon. As we walked around, we saw several familiar faces and cars. Lots of cars from the Arcanum, Ohio area were in attendance
