Bill: much appreciated.
Thanks for sharing this! Any chance you can put me in touch with that person who's seen the photo album? I'm wondering if this image is part of...
This isn't really a conventional museum-type display though. It's one thing to build, say, a table-top vitrine or a display wall behind plexiglass...
Indeed. That's why I wrote a contact at SEMA but I'm still waiting to hear back.
Hard to say but a few thousand would be within our target range, say, up to $3000 or so. Beyond that and it's more challenging without outside...
This is a shot in the dark but for the museum exhibition I've been working on, I've been trying to find a company that's capable of fabricating...
These are two photos of the Jr. Dekoiyos, a car club formed by students at San Fernando High School in the mid/late 1950s. Tad Hirai, who worked...

We 100% cover the kustom era. We actually licensed one of his Bob Hirohata's Xmas cards — featuring the Merc — from Brett Barris. Hot Wheels also...

Ha! I would have done Muroc if I could have made it there. But El Mirage has special resonance for me because of the exhibition work I've been...
Thanks for the input! CA-14 is the one I'm tracing as it used to be Hwy 6 and multiple sources from the time mention that this was the primary...
Update: Ok, I was able to look through a combination of old maps from the 1940s and '50s and the best I can currently come up with is this route:...
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm literally writing this from inside the Huntington Library and just requested a 1949 Los Angeles road atlas to look at.
In November — alas, not the weekend as the last SCTA event of the season — I’d like to retrace the route driven by the original dry lake racers in...

This photo has been posted to HAMB before; last time was in 2017. I'm hoping to see if anyone knows who has an original scan (or actual print)?...
Ah, A.J. Watson makes sense with the haircut. Thanks folks!

Hey all, as I know there are fans of the late Akira Dan Sakai (aka Danny Sakai) on here, just wanted to share some images that have turned up...
Thanks folks. 1) Tom Madigan's story was a fantastic one. I spoke with him a couple of years before he passed away but never had a chance to...
