We had a great time checking out all the cars, visiting with old friends and meeting new people at the Goodguys show in Spokane this past weekend. Snapped this as Tonja DiCenzo and the Napa gal rolled by the beer garden in her and her husband Tom's latest project - a '26 Ford Model T rat rod. The car's engine purrs like a kitten. I shot some video. Dustin and Paul's wife Sallie tooled around the grounds in the roadster pickup. People and press seemed to really like it. Now we need to finish it.Kayla went straight to Harold Z.'s Chevy to check out how Eric's interior looked in the bright light of day. What do you think? I'm slipping in this shot I took in the shop to better show the console and cool inset.Here's a closer look at Tom & Tonja's rigs, the rat rod, '29 Ford Truck and '64 Falcon Sprint. One word pretty much sums up Tom's work - meticulous. There was an drooling crowd around all three rides all weekend. I bet there are lots of Flickr photos if you went looking for them.
Chuck sent in photos of this wicked cool Salt Lake Flat Flattie. The owner rolled into Spokane fresh from Bonneville. You can see the salt on the floor pan! Chuck said it was the most powerful flattie he had ever seen. You could hear it running from the other side of the fairgrounds.
4" thick aluminum heads?
The owner trailered the car of course, the salt came from his shoes. Chuck can't recall the owners name, but he was headed back home to his shop in Wenatchee. What a great vacation adventure he's been on. Among other things, The Skirt liked this Ford wagon too, and Dave Kelly's '60 Caddy. It's for sale.
Kayla liked the Caddy too (video) and this champagne-colored Studebaker. Well, you can't show it all. Until next time.

Hi everyone, what a great show the GoodGuys put on for 2009. Lots of nice cars, pickups, trucks, rat rods. My best was the 34 coupe that pulled in around 4 am Saturday morning. One needs to be in line for a good place. Evryone that heard the flatty thought it was some kind of big block with a blower."WRONG" Flathead with a blower, pushing around three hundred horse's. Baron heads, four 97 strombergs, and lots of salt form the salt flats in Utah. Nice guy to chat with. I met him last year with his other ford coupe.
The 41 was threr, but she didn't do very well, next year..... The Skirt puts out a good blog, nice job......
Thanks, Mr. Chuckles for sending in the photos.
