Hi,
Car is long gone, sold to a guy in Florida in the mid 90's
Had a bunch of other hot rods since then.

Mary

 

Same here working alot. went to the Pinks all out at Bako and made the final 32. was kool to see the car on tv for few seconds.

 

yo! what camera do you use ??? i saw a pic that you took of my Challenger last month and dame its sweet

 

It aired already? Why didn't you say something?

 

That was 2 weeks ago..Season finale....

 

It was Thanksgiving weekend on Friday that it first aired. there will be repeats or i have it saved on my dvr which will be shown this weekend

 

Okay guys,

What food serving locations did cruisers hangout at between the 70s and the 80s on Van Nuys Boulevard. You know, like Burger King, Corky's, Fat Burger, etc.

 

Bikers at Arbys (was up by Sherman Way then) Racers at Jack in the Box & Bob's Jr (now Arbys).....Low riders at June Ellens Donuts...
Anybody else?

 

saw pinks, congrats on making the show!
I talked to boog at the vn cruise the weds before and he said you guys were going. I wanted to go but had something shakin that weekend. a bunch of racers I know were going to pinks, tryed to get me to take the bird, but I dont think they would have let me run.

 

early 1980's till they closed the blvd
jack in the box, and the west castle? i think it was, now its arbys
wasnt there a roy rogers roast beef?

once in a while mcd's on vn blvd

used to street race on raymor and other locals of course

 

Hi Reid,

Was it Jack in the Box first, then a Bob's Jr., then Arbys?

Thanks,

 

Jack in the Box is at it's OG spot, and the Arby's across the side street used to be a Bob's Jr. And I thought a West Castle (White Castle back East) was a hair South of the then Bob's Jr. (between it and Super Shops). That Super Shops was also a hangout on Wednesday nights some time in the 80's for us street racers

 

does anyone know of any spots that people cruise in from ...

Example: people meet at The Plant @ 5:30 and cruise down to the rydell lot.

 

Low riders at June Ellens Donuts? where was this at? south of 101?

 

Just South of the 101 on the East side of the "bull". That's where we met in the early 70's. June Ellen's Donuts/Hugh's market parking lot. LOTS of Lowriders

 

Thanks Groucho!

 

Thanks Groucho!


Careful Bash, you might get squeezed for another shirt.

 

ANOTHER??? That would assume I already got one. I think Bash is short for Bashowitz, or Bashburg

 

No Robert, I'm not C&R Clothiers, nor a hot rod fashion guru, coordinator, or expert.

Art is my game, and just remember my motto: The name is Bash, I aint talking trash, I don't take checks, I just take cash.

 

ha!!!

 

He wants US to provide info for his stories, but HE doesn't want to give anything back. Freakin Heebelburger

 

It's far more sinister than that, the art & writing is just a cover for my real ploy, to drain all useful information from your brain until it ceases to function.

Do you remember that song by Shorty Long, "Function At The Junction"?? Yeah, well, it's the opposite of that!

Ha Ha Ha Ha!

 

Shorty Long......Didn't he also do Here Come Da Judge?

 

Yep! If you can remember that fact, then you're A-Okay, and your brain hasn't been sucked dry yet.

The long & the short of it is, most folks get him confused with "Long Tall Shorty", "Big Shorty", or "Hop A Long Shorty", but that's a whole another story.
