Event Coverage Cuznbrucie runs the desert to the LA Roadster Show!

I realize that this is a little late but I just blew in from the coast......saw a lot of really great pics and coverage of the LA Roadster Show since I got home from California......I stayed on for a week with friends and did a great road trip up to Yosemite, Bodie Ghost Town, over to the coast at Santa Cruz and then down the coast through Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur and the rest to Cambria where I toured the Hearst Castle........and a lot more......but for our purposes here on the HAMB, I'll just cover the trip down in the *WhyGoBy Garage* Deuce Phaeton.........along the high Sierras and through the Mojave Desert to Pomona.......

I flew to Reno to join my good pal, Doug Clem at the WhyGoBy Garage and Meyer Family Racing Museum......we headed out on Wedsnesday down Route 395 and took in a lot of grt scenery along the way to Bishop, CA where we'd meet up with the *Peckerheads* from Carson City, Nevada.......you may have seen their killer '34 hot rods on the February 2009 issue of Rod & Custom........check them out.......

Off we go......










We had a stopover at the El Rancho in Bishop, CA It was here that the Peckerheads caught up to us and we joined forces for the rest of the run down US 395.....









Rory Forbes and his dad, Ray were along.....











Rest stop near Mt. Whitney....





A bit farther down the road Ray Forbes lost his brakes......so, it was onto the trailer for him the rest of the way to Pomona....









.....more to come.......

 

Nice pics CB .. keep um coming

 

We rolled into Pomona on Thursday afternoon and get ready for some hot rod fun!

Went to the Swap Meet at the Fairplex all day Friday....

 

Was very happy to meet up with Jim Aust of the So Cal Speed Shop Los Angeles, and his dad, Pat Aust from Redondo Beach......



This is the guy who is trying to drive his Deuce Roadster through 49 of the 50 states in 9 days for charity......he's a better man than I am!!

Friday night we ran over to Bobby Walden's shop for the doin's........and who do I see as soon as we arrive?





Met up with Jim *Jake* Jacobs there who signed a pic I had done of him and Pete Chapouris in 1978 at the Nats East in Timonium,, MD....what a funny and friendly guy....we hit it off famously!



Gene stopped by and we chatted some more......what a great gentleman....

















That night the *Polynesian* was trailered into our motel parking lot.......one of the great customs....

 

Good lord, look at all those killer hotrods in one place...
