Went to the show and it was 50% rat rods and 50% hot rods. I didn't bother taking the T. It was a little nippie outside and I wanted to go for a ride in the Vette. There were a couple hundred cars and really nothing that impressed me other than 1 rat rod that had an Allison V12 engine in it. He started it for us and I noticed he didn't rev the motor at all when he started it up. Anybody else would have run her up a little bit. But this guy was real hesitant about letting it run and sure as heck wasn't going to rev that motor any. What do you suppose the problem was. And remember it was a rat rod. As usual there were a full compliment of small block chevies with T400 and T350 transmissions. Pretty boring stuff. However I did see a little roadster T with a '46 flathead V8 in it. The guy was trying to pass it off as a rat rod but it was so tastefully done I think he missed the mark. The only thing he had in common was the little metal skull he had laying on the seat. It's the only one of the cars I thought would've been worthy of a photo and I didn't bring a camera.
