thanks for posting. nice pics

 

Looks like a good time with some killer cars.Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

Damn I missed it I am in Santa Barbra on the Boat...

 

Surprisingly, the weather was cooperating and it wasn't too hot. A lot of people showed up in their daily drivers so the crowd was huge. The Hot Rod Trio was in attendance and always put on a good show.

 

Cool. Thanks for sharing. The horsey carriage thingy is "interesting".

 

At Xmas, he puts antlers on the horse and dresses like Santa. I asked him if he drove it down the freeway. He said no, he only goes 28 mph. He also rides a replica top fuel bike, with a blown Honda 750 motor, on the street.

 

Definitely hitting this show next time. I ended up at another show but this one is more my style. Thanks for the coverage

 

The Mooneyes BBQ and Open House are one of my "must go to shows".

 

Is it annual?

 

Looks like a great show. Next time you go to Moon run into that burger joint in the lot next door and try one of their orange malt drinks.

 

I believe I recognize the red pickup. It was featured in R&C? years ago. Built by a father and son team. They built it to be as lightweight as possible. I think they made the bed from aluminum. They still went over their target weight, but ended up with a pretty nice, LOW, chopped, channeled and sectioned truck.

 

Yes, I've been going for the 6 years.

 

I should have took a picture of the interior. The pedal arraignment was odd and the trans really intrudes on interior space. You need really small feet to work the pedals.

 

That is a cool truck^^^^^ and looks well built from here, but I think I would leave that front bumper hanging in the rafters.

 

Wasn't ever aware, thanks for sharing

 

thanks for sharing the pictures GassersGarage my 2 year is sick and we couldnt make it. Do you go to the X-Mass party as well?

 

^^^^^
I'm pretty sure thats an East coast build by Gary "Chopit" Fioto (sp)?

 

Always, best show around, drag racing, pin-up contest, large variety of bands and great food vendors.

 

Muttley.... Always havin the inside info on the hot food spots down this way!! Nice!!

Yes..they moved out here about a year ago and are pretty consistant with bringing there cars to all the popular events. They moved there whole shop and are building out here now, I believe there here on OC.

Thanx for posting pics Rick, had to work so I missed this one!

 

overall a good turnout,wish i would of waited in line for a free burger, but i was starving,so i ate next door. seen alot of cool rides . i was suprised to see a few of the same rides at the long beach cackle fest later that day. my ears are still ringing from all them big block open header dragsters.

 

What, who, huh???
I must have been under a rock to have no info on the 52 car pile-up bubble top seen here but I'm dying to know more do you mind pointing me in the right direction to find out more?
