This show was at a local Brewery - Tupps - in McKinney, Texas just north of Dallas. The location was really great. They have a sprawling facility with plenty of seating and shade, chairs everywhere, a stage with live music all day, several bars indoors and out and their own 50s era Dodge Delivery van complete with several taps. There was quite a few Musclecars, but the focus and feature was Ratrods. These guys really get into their builds and are always coming up with something unique.

They started their day with a cruise around town before landing at the showgrounds. It was cool watching them parade into the show area and it was very loud.

There was about 150 cars total, and I was 1 of 3 Oldsmobiles.
Enjoy...

That's some neat stuff. I remember when it was called the Red River Shootout. Political correctness will be the end of us all.

 

Nice pics! Interesting gathering there! Thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks for sharing! Your car looks great!
There's some great imaginations in creating some of those rat rods. That '53 or 54 Chevy with the body all full of holes must whistle like crazy going down the road.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Lot of nice rides with a lot of imagination.

 

Yes, I was going to comment on that. I don't think I have ever seen that done on a car before, on the body at least. I have seen round holes on suspension parts and frames underneath the car that were punched out with dies but not that kind of artsy stuff. Very unique.
