Event Coverage Mooneyes California 2009, Photos

Rain, yes, lots of rain, a little depressing, yes, realizing who has balls, priceless.
I admit, my 31 coupe wasnt there, not because I didnt want to drive it, because of engine issues, six Strombergs and tons of water don't mix, but I still drove my wifes 57 T-bird and it was fun.
Huge turnout, considering the weather.
Here are some general, rather gloomy pictures, of this years Mooneyes CA 09 show.

Good times homie!!! MORE , MORE!!1

 

Cool pics! Thanks for postin em.

 

I missed you AGAIN Ian!!!! WTF?? GNRS for sure ok??!!

 

The Palm Trees did look real gloomy, but hell......at indoor shows, the cars are all shiny, and one paintjob is kinda the same as another, all waxed up etc.

In this weather, a few of those paint jobs are STILL glowing!!!!!!!

That thing of McPhail's didnt rock me so much in 'nicer' pics, but out there in the reality, its a frikkin knockout!!!!!

Was that the REAL Jade Idol out in it??

 

The overcast makes for diffused light and pics look way better.
I need to get out there one year.

 

For sure brotha!!! Not easy to find people and relax when everybody's looking for cover!!!

 

Im so motivated to customize the hell out of my galaxie now!!! The 60 has so many mods, i know because Jeff showed me, i would have never known..... all that's been done to it is so subtle, but the roof! CLASSY!!

Beautiful pics Chris!!

 

DAMN! i should have gone.....i thought about it all day, until it was too late. the weather did make for some cool pictures. thanks

 

great photos, Chris........some hearty hot rodders, there...

 

Wow that is cool! good to see plowboy made it

 

ZZ Top was even there cruising the display area, chaufered by a young lady in a skirted, WWW, flipper capped black Scion. He did get out and was taking pictures with fans in the crowd.

 

For those of us that went to the Mooneyes Xmas show today we all survived a little rain, yes the car count was down but it was still a good day, no huge lines, I saw only 1 car over heating and no one wanted to mess up there hair so there was no fight's !! It was Kopis coming to the rescue with the EZ-UP ( I owe you some beers) and it was nice catching up and seeing all you guys. It was nice meeting Tamera.
I just shot a few short movies.

Proud 'o you boys that made the show in the rain !! That's how we do it up here in rain country.....If you don't drive in the rain...You don't get to drive your rod. Kind of brought back memories of the Winfield Watson show I went down for in October; freakin rained ALL the way home...800 miles of pouring rain and wind, ..sure didn't have any problem finding the leaks in my Chevy !!

 

HAHA!! I saw him yesterday in burbank at the hat store, i was there with my wife looking for some hats for xmas and when we walked outside we saw the scion with the www and the moon caps and skull grill and we thought it had to be his!!! Too funny!!!

 

NICE!

Thanks for posting the pics, Chris.

 

I was impressed with the turn-out considering the weather and was having a great time when I wasn't hollerin at my boys to stop jumping in the damn puddles. 7 and 9 yrs, what r ya gonna do!

 

Thanks for sharing !!!

 

That Scion is Billys....it was parked behind me at the GNRS three years ago, He was signing pics of himself beside it!!!!

 

Next time I get made fun of for driving a Scion, I actually have something to say back now.

 

looks like most of us spent the day cruizin the WWW, instead of the show...or tried to work in the garage..

These 2 are so bad

 

We drove up (in the rain) and set up (in the rain) and had a really fun day (in the rain).

I found out where the remaining leaks are in the 36. This is good to know so I can get them stopped before the drive to Lone Star Roundup.



A few cute and (and wet) gals stopped by to say Hi.




As always this is one of our favorite shows.

Good friends. Good Cars. Good times.

 

Thanx for pics-looks like good weather tight booth
