Primer nationals
« on: August 31, 2008, 05:41:54 PM »
Hey just got back from the primer nationals i had the only Kaiser out of about 400 cars or so got my car pinstriped and a guy taking pics of a pinup took pictures of this mexican pinup looking like she working on my engine. Here are a few pics took them with my phone forgot my camera.



Oh ya the visor ripped off on the way there on friday but my little brotyher and stepdad found it on the side of the highway the next day. Im going to use as much as i can to make a new one

Hey, that is a pretty good looking car.  It does not look like it would take too much work to be outstanding.  Have fun!!

One Kaiser among 400 other cars is outstanding. We once had a '51 Frazer and the semis would blow the visor off that when we encountered them on the old 2 lane highways so that problem is nothing new.  Hope you can salvage the visor. Also, a good lesson I learned, never go to a car show/rally without your camera!  The phone pics look great in any case.  Thanks for sharing.

My dad thought it was funny because everyone that knew my car was a Kaiser said their mom or aunt drove a Kaiser in the 50s
All the hot rod guys my age couldnt even figure out what it was made me proud to own a Kaiser and after looking at all the straight six flatheads i relized the engines in Kaisers are much better looking that most of the other brands
I dont know if i can fix the visor so im going to use it as a templet to make a new one out of aluminum. I made my skirts so i think i can make a visor.
Next show im going to is the Moldy Marvins show in Pearblossom its free and the only rule is pre 73.
They are gonna have potato sack racing, three legged race, rod tossing contest tug of war and after it gets dark a flame throwing contest.
Its a family type show im going to take as many family members that will fit in the car.
