MAN! me and the `ol lady had a GREAT time & thanks to all! & dan, I think she LOVES you more than me now...
We saw, we ate, we told tall and short tales, we had a blast, checked out a lot of cool machinery, then went home, took a nap and could only manage to eat an apple for dinner we were so stuffed. When's the next one!?!?!? You guys do know theres a 200+ mph model pylon car race track just the other side of HWY 19 don't you?
Here's a site that tells all about it. http://www.amrca.com/ The track is there in the pick on that page. If I got my mental maping skills on line tonight, it's located just West over Rosemead/Hwy-19 from where we picnic'd and just North of The 60 Frwy. They have model airplane flying over there too. There's often guys out there tuning and running cars even when there isn't an official meet too. That's an actual 200+ mph too... not scale speed!
Looks like a lot of fun was had. SWEET cars! I love the panel lace roof. FoMoCos wife has a beautiful car! We need to make a trip one of these days to SoCal.
he, he...actually 1/2 the truck from the shell to the back of the cab is bare metal. Thanks though...I got lots of compliments on the paint job...I referred them to the painter himself.... Thanks...actually, I took out that dash and I have the tank out, gutted and stripped to bare metal right now. Im going to add a cluster in the center of the stock dash. while were on the subject...Hey mike, you got an extra flatty laying around?
I have a convertible Lincoln like that. Seeing that one gets me thinking about... How nice yours is and mine will most likely stay the same..
I can't say mch more than has already been said. It was a great time with good people and a whole lotta great grub. Rust, primer, chrome, ceviche, Mexican hot dogs, and Chili. IT'S A GOOD LIFE! Thanks to Dante for all the hard work and an EXTRA special thanks to Mrs.Dante (sorry) for the great Hawaiin burger.
Dante and all you neat HAMB'ers - It was real good to meet you and put faces with the names. Looking forward to doin' it again ! 41 Dave and Bernice
Just wanted to say thanks to every body at the BBQ...great people, cars, great time. Norm nice truck...great little cruz to the air port after the BBQ let out. Wish I had a camera to take a picture of my Tudor next to your truck. Drop me a post when your ready to roll to Paso...I should be leaving with Goozgaz some time friday...early....with lots of gas stops to fill up that gas guzzler. Goozgaz thanks for the invite. Some body call Carburator Karl to see if he is going with his three valve Holley.
Oh man!! We missed a good one! OK, we'll make it for sure next year. We had to do axle bearings on the Flower roadster truck after slingin' rear end oil all over during the round trip to VLV. Looks like a good time was had by all!
See? Fun people and (judging by the great pics) great cars. I missed A LOT. Dammit. roadapple...nice shots...looking forward to the next mag.
This is the first time I've had to get to a computer. All the photos are great!! Being one of the last to leave always means there are gonna be leftovers, too bad I couldn't put anymore it the belly! 41Dave and Bernice should bottle the Salsa and Phil's chili as always kicked ***! Thanks Dante, you are a RULER my brother! -stick
The pics are great! I wish I could of afforded the $150 in gas it woulda took to get there. But one question..... Who let that fat old gray haired guy in looking like hes begging for spare change with his little red cup????
Thanks again Dante, we had a blast. Took a few pics, most were useless, but these are my fav's: BTW: Thanks again Dan for the name tag and for letting my girls play with your daughters!
Thanks to everyone!!! I had a great time.. I had to leave kind of early, I had to get back to the shop. It was cool to put faces to the names. Jimmy white P.s the tortilla dogs were tasty.

Uhhh actually I prefer painted cars to primer. I hate primer, it comes off too easy. Bob, I call all SHOEbox Ford's, ****box Ford's. Just a pet name........no malice intended. Don't cry, I'll tell all your friends!
Bob, dont mind her, she has her ways... She may seem thick and hard on the outside, but she's just as soft on the inside.
