The Rolling Bones, Keith Cornell and Ken Schmidt, rolled out of Crown Point, Indiana Wednesday morning, had lunch in Bloomington, Illinois with H.A.M.B. buddy Derek and pulled into Morfab Customs in Union, Missouri last night. Keith at Morfab Customs was a gracious host and gathered fellow rodders and customers to join in welcoming Keith and Ken. Dennis Parks, Motorbooks author of the recently released Hot Rod Chassis and Builder’s Guide, was on-site to take photos. Thanks to Dennis for putting the Rolling Bones in touch with the talented people at Morfab Customs! See Dennis’ photos attached.
This afternoon, The Rolling Bones will be stopping into the Darryl Starbird Custom and Hot Rod Hall of Fame in Afton, OK at 1pm. Stop by and say hello if you’re in the area: 55251 E. Hwy 85A in Afton . Tomorrow afternoon is a spooky Rolling Bones gathering at Bozo’s in Santa Rosa !! Hot Rod Haven Sunday morning… and then Booth #22393 at SEMA Monday afternoon!!
A cross country road trip car, a couple of hot rod projects in the background, and a Bonneville record holder off to the side…what do you think these guys are talking about? You can bet it ain’t golf.
While the body is still in the painting stages, the painted chassis is assembled for one of Morfab Customs’ customers. The chassis for this ’32 Ford three window was drawing admiring glances throughout the evening.
Of course I said yes when Ken asked if I wanted to sit inside the coupe. A ride would have been nice, but it was raining pretty hard at the time. I literally took a “rain check” and yes, I’d ride to the SEMA show in it.
It may not be pretty, but if it gets you there and back, who cares? This kind of hot rod is how you determine if a guy is a true hot rodder or a gold chain wearin’ street rod buyer. No billet here…
Signing books and spreading the gospel…
Plenty of character, charm, and road miles on this ol’ Ford.
‘Nuf said.
The rain splattered roof of the Rolling Bones coupe proves that this is a road warrior. Ken and Keith have experienced plenty of rain on this trip.
Keith, Bob Galbraith (New Port engineering), and Ken in the office of Morfab Customs. Checking out MBI books and Dean Bittick’s Model T speedster on the Hub Garage, and just pretty much talking hot rods.
