Re: Some Cool Street Machine Nationals Video-Duquoin..
WOW! I was there. That was the Heyday of Pro Street. I spent a ton of time at Rich Gebhardt's shop then. I guess I can say I take the blame for some of the paint designs & graphics that went on many of the cars he produced. Bob Northrop's Pro Tempo shows up in two of the clips. I recognized a bunch of the heavy-hitters in the P/S wars back then. Names like Matt & Debbie Hay, Rick & Loni Dobbertin, Rocky Robertson, Scott Sullivan, Rick Northrop from our area and Mike ???? with the red Celebrity Eurosport. Rich Gebhardt had his orange Beretta there that year too along with his brother-in-law, Jimmy Weishaar's Nova. Heck, I even saw the gorgeous White '33 Willys of Lil' John Buterra. I always loved that car.
And even funnier, the guy who posted the videos, "Monsterflake" is alive and well and building some wild, wild cars in St. Louis to this day. Visit "Creative Customs" sometime and meet one of the craziest and most talented guys on the planet.
Hey Bruce, .... Thanks for the trip back in time! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/BruceRocks.gif[/img]
