Kind of amazing that the place looks so much like it did so long ago.

 

Rad.

 

Cool photo! A lot has happened between these 2 shots were taken

 

Ian, your car is ridiculously good looking! I walked around the GNRS looking for you guys, but was eluded. Nice photograph, nice location- nice!

 

Silly to start a thread for this, but i thought it would be neat considering the building and the gat are still there and unchanged ...... but the background is VERY different!!

Im not sure what is in the old Valley Customs location, but i know where it is. Somebody will chime in!!!

 

No signage or business name?

 

Thanx man!!! That line makes me laugh "ridiculously good looking" It reminds me of ZOOLANDER, great movie!!!

 

Not the valley customs location , but photo shoot location!! Sorry!!

 

Looks like a City Filtration Plant ......do you know where this is ??

Fine Photo...!

 

Since I'm a "hack" with photoshop,I played around with your pic on photobucket.

 

cool pic ian, maybe someone could photoshop the skyline from the first picture? (in color of course)

 

PHOTOSHOP GENIUSES RULE!!! I have photoshop and i can't figure it out!! LOL!

 

thats pretty cool man

 

Nice pic.Looks like your car belongs there.

 

Wow!! Awesome... here's a little cleanup I did!!

 

**** yeah bro!!! dont let me stop you!!!! PLEASE!!!!

 

I think the picture is the City of Burbank yard. I went there once about 15 years ago when I did some work on their Rose Parade float.
I wonder why the business card came out so loooooong?

 

thats burbank water and power! my uncles shop is the original socal speed shop!

 

Are you sure you just weren't looking for an excuse to take another pictuer of that kool ride of yours???

 

Kinda of a 'where/how is it now' deal. Neat. Yer right, the industrial background look's ****ed. Water 'treatment'?

 

Is that off Magnolia?

 

sweet picture...looks so period...

 

The location is the City of Burbank's valley pumping plant. It's on Hollywood Way above Victory Blvd. It was a City property back in the day also. They just used it as location for photos, most likely because of the architecture of the building and gate.

 

Great photo Ian.

Hop Up Magazine feature on the Wally Welch Mercury (Ayala version) was also taken at that location. I think Jerry Chesebrough was the photographer in both cases.

 

Unique Twist?
