History MODIFIERS - So. Cal. Club History?

Anyone have any info or history on this club? trying to track down history...



Thanks in advance...

 

I really like hearing old club history, I hope someone has some info for you.

 

Yeah me too...

Anyone?

 

Bump

 

Hmm. I think I knew a group who went by "The Modifiers". Try Sid @ Sid's tattoo parlor. 714-664-8804

 

Was that a newer club or a club from back in the days...??

 

Been reading a book called Flatout recently about the beginnings of lakes racing 1930s-50's. I think I read the club roster and there was a Modifiers in SCTA...... don't know for sure though. I can check when I get home later.

 

Both I believe...seems like I remember one of the newer Modifiers having a relative in the Modifiers back in the day. My memory is a little foggy though. Kustom55 might be able to shed some light.

 

We found 3 clubs in So Cal named the Modifiers, So Cal, Garden Grove, and West Valley... Bttt

 

I saw those as well... There is several in the mid west I think too..

I grew up in west valley that one is cool...

 

The plaque on the left is my buddy Don on a '55 Lincoln one of our early members, I would post pictures of the jackets but I'm retarded

 

I got you covered JC....a lot of history in Don's car for sure, picture of his 55 I took in 99

 

Hey is that you Jason?

Can you share a bit of the history of the club.. If you have any old pix I can post the too... Piero

 

White one is the original jacket from 55?
Black one is the one Jason did in the 90's

 

.......

 

Plaque made in metal class in 1955 by Jason's Grandpa..

 

Yep...that's them! I remember seeing that 55 Lincoln at a Mooneyes BBQ back in the day. I'm glad to see you found some info. BTW...Lynn told me what you guys are up too...sounds cool!

So are you bringing this club back Evel?

 

the answer will come in time..

 

There's a club named the Modifiers out of North Santa Ana Ca. Most of the guys are from Sids tattoo parlor. They're a born again Christian car club.

 

Yes I talked to Jason who started OC chapter that you mention and he actually posted above see: OGmodifierOC the club split a long time ago and is no longer a club..

His grandfather started the club in 1953... I'm actually looking for info in th So-Cal club as well..

 

Well looks like the Cats out the bag... Modifiers are listing on as a club going to the Ventura Nats.

 

There was some talk about starting the club but we decided not to... for now at least...

 

I just found this cite and joined. I was the President of the "Modifiers West Valley" for the year 1962. The club was originally formed in 1960 from several seniors at Canoga Park High School. The Modifiers were the brother club of the King Pins, made up of west San Fernando valley older high school grads. In 1962 when I was president, we were mostly a social club, with jackets and plaques in the rear windows. Most of the members were "jocks" and I think we had about 12/14 members, all from Canoga Park High. We would collect dues, paint addresses on curbs, to host parties or combine with the King Pins. The club went one more year (1963) with Bill Morgan as president and that was about it. The plaques are in demand because there was not that many, they were the real deal, a So. Cal. car club in the early 60's with first generation plaques made by the original first plaque maker "Stylized Plaque Co." in Los Angeles. The plaque depicted on a previous post is the real deal.
