Back To The Bricks Photo Thread...

I say that because,weather permitting,I plan on being there tonight and Friday-I'd like to drive down to Woodward tomorrow-and plan to get LOTS of pics.

Anyway,here's a couple from last night. 'Twas getting dark,and even with the flash,the pics didn't come out that good. Got a couple to show:

This was from a good spot,but not a high-traffic area. When I moved farther north of this spot,the sun was goin' down. The pics I took from the second spot sucked-but the women walking by looked pretty good. Sorry;too dark to get good pics,but the visual memory remains. Heading out in a couple of hours;will post those later.

Woodward Blvd!
I wish I was there during the mid to late 60s !

Round two,from today/tonight:

Entering downtown Flint. I did not feel like I should have been packin'.

Tried to grab some shots while moving(somewhat "moving";traffic is BAD for this event) through town.

Of course,when shooting from a moving car,you occasionally hit the button at the wrong times.

2 Grr on the tach? Must have been in first gear...

Next: more attempts at motion photography and some proper static shots.

 

[Al K]

TONS of way-cool rides out there from every era. The weather is supposed to suck tomorrow,so I may not be out. Friday's looking better,so I will get even more shots then. For now...

This was in front of me in traffic;when we went by,it made my car shake. In a good way. This thing sounded VERY healthy. I was in front at the next light and caught the second shot. Love the car,HATE a Chevy scoop on it. "It's what all the other kids are doing...". Doesn't make it right.

A couple from one of the big sites around town.

More ahead.

 

[Al K]

More from the show!

One more batch from tonight,then I'm crashing...

 

[Al K]

Last batch for tonight.

Why yes,there plenty of babes. Had the gf with me so I had to behave with the camera. All our loss.

 

[MarPar]

i knew you wouldn't let me down, Al!!!

brave man takin those w/ da GF with you!!! bravo!!! lol

 

[Al K]

OK;weather's looking $h!tty,so I'm staying home and throwing some chicken on the grill. Might as well do something constructive...

So...here's a few more pics from last night.

...And,because I love you guys(and know how you think...)

Worth a repeat;should have seen her(and a couple of other hotties) with hula hoops. Damn;couldn't get a video of that.:angryfire:

 

[Ron 73]

Great photos!! Thanks for sharing.

Al:

They Certainly Have Cleaned Up Flint Since The Last Time I Was There In 1985! Lived In St. Clair Shores & Madison Heights! Lookin' Good! Have Fun This Weekend! I Know What I'm Missing By Not Being There!:angryfire:

 

[Al K]

OK;got some pics last night,but ran into a couple of good friends:beavisnbutthead: from the old days,and of course the telling of lies and 3/4 truths and such precluded taking pics. But;I did go on a garage tour(love them) and get to see some VERY rare small-block Ford parts that even Pentastar People could appreciate. Yes,that kind of rarity. These two have been gathering unique Blue Oval stuff for over 30 years,and I've seen true one-of-one intakes,heads,carbs and such. Genuine Ford,not aftermarket pieces. I also found out that one very significant '60's Ford race car,thought to have been destroyed after a crash,exists in another friend's garage. Can't say where;sorry...

Heading to downtown Flint in a bit;will get lots of pics there. Then,I can come home and fry the server...

Joey,I'm kidding,I'm kidding-don't :ban: me bro!

 

[Budnicks]

Very cool photos guys, I love all the cars, even all the Brand X stuff...LOL....

 

[Al K]

"I'm back!"

What a day. Great time downtown-ton of pics-but the alternator died in the Sport Fury. Got her home,only to encounter a broken connection on the basement sump pump. So-o-o,I've been @#$%&*@ with that and got the old alternator off(no easy task) AND got the oil changed. A multi-tasking mofo I be. Sheeeeeet....

To the show!

Total sleeper:

...with this under the hood:

Probably juiced as well;hell,EVERYONE has a bottle around here. 'Cept me...

The next two are a couple of DRIVEN low-9/high-8 second cars from this area:

Next round: OUR stuff!

 

[Al K]

Yes there were Chrysler products!

 

[roadrunnerman]

wonderfull pictures.thanks for putting them up.

 

[Al K]

Mopars,round two:

 

[roadrunnerman]

nothing against the guys that own the other brands,but god i love the beauty of a mopar.

 

[Al K]

Before we view more Mopars,a couple of shots to TRY and describe how big this was:

I've yet to see a car count;had to be at in the 5-figure range. People? A half a million-yes,MILLION-were expected. The main street(Saginaw Street) was blocked off for about a 3 mile stretch,the side streets were filled,and the two parallel streets were blocked off as well. Just plain HUGE.

More cars:

 

[Al K]

Lots of street rods and such. The craftsmanship on some of these cars is amazing.

...and an oddball-or two.

OK;I saw this and said to self: "BLAHBLAH...another 'Pro streeter...yadayada...".

...Until I looked under the hood:

Yeah. An early Hemi. Did quite the double-take on that one.

OK;enough for tonight. I'm whupped,and an early rise and dull(as opposed to "rise-and-shine") awaits me. I've got more,but I'll get those out tomorrow. Enjoy.
