One holiday tradition here in Houston is the Autorama Hot rod show. I ran into clients and vendors at the show this year. No real surprise since this event has been popular for years.
This year was great. there was a Rider Cup winner from out of town. Also there were many locally based cars shown for the first time. The craftsmanship on display this year was phenomenal. Great paintwork and photography were on display. Darren Wenzell was showing a painting I'm temped o go back and buy. Jason Barnett was showing art and furniture. One table was made from an early Chrysler HEMI. He also had a scale P-40 Warhawk nose with shark teeth paint job that was great looking.
I only had the blackberry curve for a camera, sorry.
That can not begin to capture the quality of the work this year. I did grab a couple of snap shots to show you.
One is a pair of real Shelby GT-350s, one was a drag car all it's life and the other an SCCA road racer all it's life. Both are very original.
The next is a different take on a flame paint job. The parts of the hood not flames are cut out!
Now it is off the the UH College of Technology watch party @ SRO NW Mall.
We will see out Houston Cougars take on Texas Tech in Lubbock @7p.m.
Go Coogs!
