LA Roadster Show this weekend. What are you going for?

After I bought the gennie deuce roadster this spring I thought I would be hunting an Auburn dash for it but scored one on the HAMB. I'll just be hunting trinkets and buying a couple of $500 tee shirts.

 

Crazy as always i'm sure. Unfortunetaly i will miss it this year, but my partners from Gasoline Magazine will be there to cover it!! Guess i'll just check the pictures and hear the stories.

 

LA Roadster Show is always a totally bitchin' deal, good freinds, killer machinery, great swapmeet, etc.

This year I'm most stoked about finally meeting Joe Barnett face to face and reuniting him with his old '27 T Touring.

 

I'm seeing a lot of people are going for the swap meet. Dang, more competition!

The Mexican restaurant sounds like a great idea, I've never been. I'm sure it's better the a $5 hot dog.

 

I'm looking to pick up a Dual Quad Nailhead intake for my 401, Tailights and Headlights for my Model A coupe project.

 

I was there today, already over 15 Truck-trailers lined up at the gates for the swap. And they don't even open the gates till Friday morning. I even saw a truck and trailer with Kentucky plates. Some of the stuff on those trailers was already being sold.

 

Cars are ehhh. Swap meet is coooool.

 

I am going because that is what we do on Fathers Day.I have only missed one in about 30 years.Dad had a heart attack that year and it did not feel right to go without him.I have been taking my son with us for 12 years.We always park with the cars out by the swapmeet.We will be drivin the 54 Packard Limo again this year but this year it will be for sale.Get there early beat the heat.

 

Its the parts for me and seeing some of the Cars I havent seen before.
WHat sucks is that the swap guys are pretty much gone on sunday so I dont even go back then.
It would be nice to get in on Friday also for the swap but its only saturday.

 

I am going for the swap.
Hamber Deek and i are going to have a spot. He is bringing new model A style perimeter frames to sell.Tig welded and intereior gussets. Good stuff.

 

Going for everything! The cars, the friends, the swap the show, and L.A. in general!!! Oh for food - the Mexican joint is ok, but we have better in Phoenix - The Northwoods in Azusa is the way to go for giant bloody steaks, and lots of drink! not only do they have a song and cake for happy birthday celebrations, but you also send them to your friends across the place saying that they're celebrating they're "oneness"as a gay couple !!!

 

not there, wish I was - need to stay home and get something done on my project '51

 

Is the show good on sunday? Thinking of leaving nor cal saturday afternoon instead saturday morning.

going to see a couple of guys who are always there selling various early piece's and look for some righteous speed equipment for my 31 roadster........ i hope..

 

Last week we stayed down the road from a Playboy magazine "Top 5 in the World" place to see beautiful women....Guess where? Foodland Supermarket Sunset Beach, Hawaii. Who knew? Not me. Good call

 

HaHaHa........I love that Foodland

 

The show itself (shiny roadsters) and the vendor area is exactly the same from Saturday to Sunday. The Specialty Parking area (customs, coupes, primered cars etc) and the swap meet are probably off by 40% on Sunday morning, with people leaving steadily during the day.

 

'33 or 34 roadster or project.

 

you;ve never been there have you
