I had to turn around and get the shot of coming into orange as I forgot to take it the first time....this is one of the few times I took the camera.

 

How did the auctions go? Any HAMB members come home with some of the loot?

 

A lot of really cool looking cars,,

You didn't happen to take any photos of the green '54 Ford wagon that is seen just over the hood of the red center door T did you? HRP

 

Nope. What you see,is what I shot...Sorry.

 

Fantastic pics Bob.
Like the Culver city cop car, and that Packard tourer sure is nice.
Lots of great Av8s. Thanks.

 

thanks Bob... yeah i have some door panels.. they just look out of place with my "black" seats! probably wont end up using them since im going a whole new direction with the color when it comes time for paint!

oh, and it was sunny for me also on the way back to the desert!! gota love So*Cal!!

 

Just got to our hosts house after the clean up, then the financial tally and etc. The weather played a big factor this year, I think many people looked out their window and may have stayed home. Yes it was a little damp at times but it never rained, however "they" were still releasing water up stream as the reservoirs were quite full. We had checked the storage conditions out late Friday, four different agency's have control of the water release, so getting a firm answer about releases is difficult.

The parking lot is actually a creek bed that is lined completely with concrete, the sides are 8-10 feet tall made of large round river rock mortared in place. I was born in Orange 69 years ago, this creek bottom has been in place as long as I can remember. So parking had to take place on either side moving water, you could drive thru it, but no way could you get across on foot.

I meet several HAMB members at their cars, did see crazydaddyo and his fathers 31 CCPU with the Rutherford 4 port head. I worked the raffle tables and in particular the new premium raffle venue. Most all of the raffle items at the breakfast were geared to the Model A more or less stock type car owners. There is no auction and I didn't meet any HAMB members around the raffle area.

The breakfast count was down a little but the raffle participation was very brisk, may have been up from previous years. The sun did come out before noon and people shed their coats, it turned out to be a nice day.

Many thanks to those who have posted photos of the event. Many Hamber's claimed the sheltered area under the bridge were they were both high and dry. If I had to guess, 35% of the cars in attendance were modified from mild to actual street rods. It was a great gathering and those who couldn't make it, really missed out on a fine ***embly.

Thanks for a great show......one of the few I look forward to. Personally I liked the river in the middle, it gave a little extra ambiance and I wouldn't have ever used the bridge......plus it made me focus on one side at a time.

 

We were all sitting outside of Watsons, but you flew by so fast you must not have seen/heard us. The 47 boogies now that the distributer is fixed...lol

 

Ha, we should call it " A River Runs through It" show this year. I agree, one of the shows that I look forward to all year. I sure hope it isnt the last year at this location.

 

Thanks for the pics Bob.

I spent a bunch of time yesterday working on the Model A RPU to go to this. I woke about about 5:30 and it was raining. Waited til 6, still sprinkling. Knowing how that creek bed flows I figured it would be a bust, so back to bed. DAMN! Should have known better ......

 

windows up, deaf and dumb................ok maybe not deaf .

 

Great pictures!

Sam

 

I think these came after you left

 

Yeah man..Im glad you made the trip down thru the wet weather, the day turned out good after all! Plus a second breakfast at Watsons was worth the drive! Lets do it again soon brotha!


Bob...nice work as usual on the coverage buddy!

 

I drove by there on Sat. and they had the entrance road baracaded off , so I thought they'd have to postpone it. Oh well , maybe next year .

 

Thanks for the pics Bob, I saw you for a second when I first got there but never found ya afterward to talk. Saw Crazydaddy-o but was off to lunch with my fellow club members so only got to say how I liked his pops truck. I have 200 some odd pics, just got home and idk how long it will take me to post. Might be tomorrow after work before I get a chance.-Weeks
