Bought Another Today

[tony barnhill]

& its the first one I've bought in a long time (felt real good!) Drove up to Memphis & picked it up from Joe Reed - a Pageant Blue '79 w/ biscuit interior. Here's a few :

Hooked up & ready to roll

 

[Joe Reed]

Let me know whenever you're in tha area. There's plenty of other BBQ joints to try out /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[kyreb1862]

Congratulations sir. Have you named your new baby yet. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angel.gif

So, is that one of each yet?

 

[tony barnhill]

Guys, you've gotta get Joe to take you to Corkey's...best "dry" BBQ ribs Jerri or I have ever had!

Actually, its a copy of my V8 car before I started modifying it (except for the interior color):

Mine:

hmmm, mine also:

 

[jlaird]

Corkeys just may be one of the very best BBQ spots in the world.

 

[jlaird]

Tony, I really like that, good looking little car. Even the color is good.

Wish I had known you were going to be in Elvis Town. I had a couple more AC system I have taken out of customers cars I would have given you. I remember when ,I think he went by, RJ use to bring that car for me to work on it. He was a real nice guy.

 

[tony barnhill]

Started to stop by, Tom...but Jerri had other plans & by time she was finished you were closed...I want those systems - hang onto them - I'll be by again soon!

Looks like a good car...One of mine is pageant blue, nice color. One thing I hate is when the rostyles end up getting painted all silver(or all black) ruins the entire look of the car...Time to get out your paint brush Tony!

 

[tony barnhill]

Yep, Joe did a good job of cleaning them up & painting them silver - & they have new trim rings & hub caps...one of my Sunday afternoon projects is to put the black on them where its supposed to be.

But, I kinda liked the way I did my car - trim rings, center aps w/o logo, Rostyles painted black aka Porsche....ah well, TEHO!

 

[Joe Reed]

Actually, my brother-in-law painted the wheels - one of the few things he did right! I didn't like 'em at first, but they kinda grew on me. I still prefer the original color scheme though...

Glad this forum likes Corky's....I suggested it ona different forum and it was not received as well!

[Joe Reed]

Corky's isn't the best BBQ in the Memphis area - it's just the best promoted and marketed. Still, it's pretty good stuff!

 

[tony barnhill]

Those dry ribs were so tender they fell off the rib...& what I liked about the way they prepared them was that they cut off the "rib knuckles" - that part of the bone that holds ribs together....so, it was easy to tear them apart.

& whatever that dry rub was - man, I'd love to have a container of it!

 

[jlaird]

Heh, think Corkies will sell that dry rub.

 

[Steve]

Mine's Pageant Blue as well. Rostyles are as BL intended, only looking a wee bit scruffy.

 

[R6MGS]

Mine too(see sig)...Only I am not sure if those chrome trim rings on mine are factory, I think the originals were stainless or something? I like the chrome much better though, it just needs some MG crested lug nuts.

 

[Steve]

I had some MG crested valve caps, until some little weevil swiped them......

Your right Joe,corkeys is very good but its charlie vargas's rondezvous!
