Okay..The restoration on my 72' 442 was completed back in October 2010. The only thing left to do was to put on the stripes. I got a call from a good friend who owns and runs Xcentrick Autosports in Windsor Ontario. They were one of the major sponsors at the Mens Expo a two day mans show April 29&30th. He wants to put my car in it because it turned out so nice. I told him I did not want to because the stripe kit was not put on yet, and the guy doing it wouldn't be able to do it til' the end of May. Chris said he would put them on no charge so we could put the car in the show.

This was very cool because they only had room for a handful of cars. I did get a lot of nice compliments on the car, and a good picture with the "Bud Girls"

Here are some pics of before, after, and Bud Girls. Enjoy!

 

Joe your car looks very nice. The shine on the paint is extravagant LOL.
So have you completed your W-29 442? Did the gauge work out?
Budweiser girls are nice, but can't compete with the MIller Girls Job well done.

Beautiful car. Cool story. Too bad those girls got in the way of the car in the last photo!

P.S. A "man" show?

 

Sounds like a fun story good to have things go your way now and then
Id like to say something about the bud girls but they look very classy and
could be the sweet girl next door.

 

Car looks great!

 

Hey Kino! Thanks for the kind words. I have not installed the gauges yet. I did have the clock checked out and it does not work, and I have not had the tach part looked at yet. The guys at JH Restorations will pull it apart to test everything and repair whatever needs repairing. Still a nice piece I really appreciated the help on that.

It was actually called the Mens Expo, I know sounds kind of lame. This was the first one. It was all things guy related. Motorcycles, cars, go-go dancers, Bud Girls, food eating contest, hot rod shops, they even had a small airplane in the building for a company that does flight lesssons.

 

The Bud Girls were very sweet. The problem I have now is that they just are a few years older than my own daughter, so that kind of kills it...The blonde asked if they could have their picture taken with there camera then I took one with my phone camera. She said she liked the car because her Dad has a similar one....

 

Kinda like me I can remember when "party" was a noun.

 

Very well put Jamesbo...I still feel like an immature 18 year old stuck in this old beat up body...It just aint fair.

 

nice looking car, I like the dark color of the SS11s aas well

I'm right there with you, I always tell my friends "that girl is some guys daughter too" puts it in perspective doesn't it - I have 3 girls (identical twins to boot)

 

Thanks! Before I painted it everyone wanted me to go with the lighter green and black stripes. I wanted to stay with the original dark green. I like the depth of it. Wow...three girls and twins. I have one 18 year old daughter. Cute girl, great kid, good head on her shoulders. She does not put up with the BS some of these guys try.

I honestly think we had a girl as a payback for something in my youth...

 

Joe: I would have gone to the show, if i had known you were going to be there with your car. (girls or no girls)
It's lookin' great!

Jay

 

Hi Jay! I would have let you know but, he called me Wednesday while I was out of town for work. He picked up the car on Thursday and brought it to the show on Friday. I went up Friday after I got home. I think that was the first time anyone has driven her but me?!

Did you get the registration flyer for Windsor Area Street Rods show in May?

Joe

 

Hi Joe: I received the flyer about the 37th Anniversary Car Show at Gil Maure Park in Lasalle, ON, Sunday May 29th, 2011.

It's the Lasalle Area Street Rods big spring car show!

You are the Grand Puba of this event, and yes I will be there for sure!
I was there last year and had a great time! I can't wait to see you and your refreshed 1972 442.

Hey, you could probably beat me out of the hole, but my '67 Delta 88 just might take you at the top end!
At least it would be fun trying!

Joe,

Nice looking car! Looks great with those stripes but I have to admit, the girls make the pictures look better.

 

can somebody tell those girls to get out of the way of that beauty?! ha jk looks awesome and helloooo bud girls

 

Love the Bud Girls!

 

Heard the old saying. When you have a son you only worry about one ***** in town, when you have a daughter you have to worry about every ***** in town.

Oh! nice car by the way

 

Stripes look great!
