Hot Rods! Hot Rods!! Hot Rods!!!

[avdh20]

Theres a little show that comes through town around this time of year called Kool April Nights. It usually gets rained out for the cruise. As you can see it almost happend again. The rain actually stopped about 5 minutes into the cruise. It turned out pretty good after all. I snapped a few shots while I was there with my new 70-200 f/4. I love this lense. Very sharp on the open side. Anyway, Enjoy & comments welcome. Thanx!

Outstanding. We just finished day 1 of the Lowes Autofair weekend and none of my shots turned out as good as those.

Very nice captures. I love each of them. Man I wish we would get something like that here in San Antonio!

You did an outstanding job on those. Please share some more of them when you get some time.

The show turned out really good. Kool April Nights is like the sister show to Hot August Nights, which is in Reno. There was about 2500 cars that showed up here. Its usually one of the bigest events that comes through Redding.


:lol: Thanks for comments everyone! Happy Shooting! :lol:

Very nice shots! Love the little blue convertable.

Makes me want to haul the '71 Camaro out of storage...only problem is it's snowin' outside!! Really nice photographs avdh20. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice work. I love cars. Thanks for sharing. My Marauder seems insignificant right now. By the way, I think the Datsun seems out of place amongst the muscle cars, classics and street rods. . . just my opinion.

I just thought that the Datsun looked good. I dont know why it was even in the event. I know that it is a 73' and older event so I guess that means the datsun is allowed. I should of left it out of the series, it really doesnt fit in.

Since this thread is Hot Rods, would it be bad form if I contributed? Just say the word and I'll take these down.

Spent all weekend at the Autofair showing my car with the local club. Wandered around and took a whole load of shots.

It will be a while before I review all the pictures, but here are a few pics of my favorite cars so far..

The Green truck has a Miata engine, running gear, interior etc.

Very nice rods in that thread :D

I also think that the Datsun does not fit here ... after all, it's a nicely handling sportscar, not a hot rod :lol:
Not too enthusiastic about the plastic light covers, though :confused:

Best regards,
Andy

Car season is here again! (Just keep that snow in Colorado!)
