Pleasanton Summer Get Together, '07 - page 1 Held in the Alameda County Fairgrounds, the event attracted upwards of 2,000 cars, and around 40,000 visitors, so Kerry Fehlberg did a great job in getting so many well crafted shots, without people unintentionally obscuring your view.

San Jose's Chet Gaede brought along his radically chopped '35 Chevy 2-door sedan, with a wild purple paint job, which is highlighted by an artistic flourish.

The reflection in Jeff Ow's "Hottest Hiboy" winning deuce roadster is an incredible testament to the paint & prep.

Ron & Linda's '48 Chevy pickup body is draped over an '88 chassis, with a 690 hp blown BBC up front.

Ford's 1960 Ford Starliner hardtop has been reworked by Andre Carey, fof Jim Rydeliy. A Loliner metal badge is on the trunk, hood & dash.

Quite a contrast, these '33 3-windows illustrate their differences. The red hiboy has a bobbed frame & long nose.

There is no need for a hole in the hood in the early Chevy pickups - even if the BBC runs a large stack of injectors.

Sam Foose laid the paint on Otis Stevenson's '48 sedan, after Dick Dean performed the many body mods.

Apparently one wag told his lady that Dave Bowling's quite rare Man-a-fre 4 carb manifold allows his Deuce Tudor to run on tennis balls. "That's nice" she said.

The interior of Chet's '35 sedan is just as well executed as the exterior. The 383 stroker should get it out of harms way on their many trips.

Averil & Carmen Palenske brought their all-steel '34 3-window coupe from San Jose. Is it a BBAD 34? With a blown hemi up front, it sure is.

The pillarless '48 crew cab has the most sumptuous interior, and air bags all round, to get it down to the ground.

Not just a lowered and refurbed stocker, the Loliner runs a high tech EFI equipped double overhead cam 4.6 litre modular Ford V8.

...whereas the black car has a stock style frame, and all the panels are in the shape of the originals.

Doug Hopwood's '32 hiboy roadster uses a striking red & black colour scheme to make it stand out.

The ding in the fender and the matt black paint tell us that the owner of this '36 Deluxe coupe is in it for the fun, not the trophies.

Terry Freeman, of Clayton CA, owns this gem of a '33 3-window coupe.

'33 styled Speedstars are a great way to get radical styling at a cost less than a custom built body. Bev Luque's car was for sale for just $65,000.

Old style car, new style wheels - Curtis Martin's '32 3-window hiboy represents contemporary street rod styling at its best.

Ray & Jackie Zaro trundled in from Carson City, NV, in their very tasty '32 Tudor. It is all-steel, and chopped 3". Art Winston's sharp all-steel '31 Vicky is alongside.

Local Gary Cedoline didn't cruise far in this very desirable '36 cabriolet.

The trailer behind the rear of this clean, stock bodied  '34 Tudor is the rear of a clean '28 roadster - though not stock.

The many similarities between this car and Doug's car to the left are not apparent, given the vastly differing paint schemes.

Chopped & channelled in '79, Ken Nerlove's '30 coupe on deuce rails uses an unusual Jag front & 'Vette rear suspension combo.

The bright yellow paint is highlighted by a tastefully understated blue pinstripe. Sounds odd, looks great.
