Heading out to So Cal next week April 12-17 need suggestions on what to see

I'm heading out to Los Angeles for work next week. Will be there Mon-Sat. Flyout early on Sat Morn.

I will be working during the days but will be looking for suggestions on what to see in the evenings. Car stuff: cruize nights, Tradtional hot rod shops possibly open late?

Does Bob's in Burbank have have a cruize night on Fridays?

Also may have some time during the day on Friday. Any good military salvage places where a guy can buy air craft nuts and bolts? Feel free to send me a pm if you don't want to broadcast a location.

Any suggestions and help would be appreciated

Thanks

 

Long Beach Grand Prix. is that weekend. You can catch some exhibition events on Friday.

 

Tdog, try Cal Aero on (I think) Paramount or Cherry in Paramount. Surplus stuff by the pound...

 

april 14 is Van Nuys cruise night on van nuys blvd...hopefully we get a better turn out than last month....the weather should be warmer so I'm thinkin more cars will show up....7p.m....head on out it should be a good time...thats the link...

if your in so cal, old crow speed shop and hollywood hot rods always have some jaw droppign stuff. and they are next door to each other. check em out.

 

Gonna miss Western Street Rod Nationals the next week 23-25th.

 

Thanks for all the help. Looks like I am busy on Wed night for sure

Making time for Cal Aero!!!!!!!!!

 

The good news is that Cal Aero is really near Bob's Broiler in Downey. You'll find lots of HAMBers at the Broiler. Be sure to introduce yourself.

 

Yes, Bob's Taluca Lake (Burbank) is every friday night. Might even see a celeb. or two there.

 

Peterson Museum s pretty awesome.Has a Hot Rod wing too.

 

I will be at Bob's Friday night! This Nebraska guy is excited!

 

Canon707 had a good sugestion. Hollywood hot rod shop is in Burbank, about 2 miles from Bob's. Check them out befoer you head over to Bob's.

Another good place is the Nethercutt Museum if you like the classics. It's free so you can save your cash for the burger and fries at Bob's.....Clay

 

The Nethercutt is a great suggestion. Probably the best museum ever.

 

For the Nethercutt Museum call in advance and get yourself on the list for the tour on the other side. Can't get in at the last minute on this side only in the main museum.

If you can stretch your stay to the 25th there are so many things going that it is almost a joke.
