[/ QUOTE ] Rocky, do you realize how old that makes you?? I'll be there saturday, My usual roadster garb. fat old fuck,grey goatee, Yellow hat black flames, Black letterman jacket from Pete and Jakes bare bone logo, just walk up with a couple of full beers and I'll talk till there gone haha. AF/X and Spook look forward to meeting you. maybe after the show you can come out to my place for a garage tour and couple games of pool (I'm always looking for some new pidgeons)
I will be going today for set up. Also waiting for a car to show here at my house so we install the seats and top I did for it I will post pics later on...Danny
will be there saturday, will be wearing my VIVA ZAPATO hat. Rocky, did you forget friday nights at Kings or thev TicToc, or how about Jim Dandys?
I plan being there at the opening bell as usual. I am really looking forward to this one and hoping that is going to be better than the Rod & Custom ( disappointing ) and the Seattle shows. I know that these others are run by the same guy but they have been declining in quality, heck evan the usual venders have quit attending.
Jim I did not realize you had changed your username. THANK YOU for the beer and tour. You rock... Jason...
We used to make the rounds from the Speck, down 82nd to Kings and then down Sandy Blvd to the TicToc and across the Burnside bridge to cruise Broadway. Ahhh, Broadway....the only place I ever saw where there was 3 lanes of bumper to bumper hot rods and musscle cars all the way around the circuit. That loop must have been 3 miles around and took about an hour and a half to circumnavigate on a Friday or Saturday night. And don't forget all the cars parked on the sides of the streets! Must have been 10,000 hot cars on a cruise night with lots of hot womens! In fact, that's where I met my first wife!
i'll be there fri. night, sat., & sun., greaser girl's car is there this year, can't miss it, it's the only purple chevy fleetline with green flames there!. got back from set up last night, some of the usual stuff, but lots of cars, & a pretty good selection, i think everyone will be happy with the show, much better than the rod&custom show...chip
What time are are going Chip? I'll be there about 2:30 with a couple of my buddies. Thanks for hooking me up with Mad Max, he did a great job with my pinstriping.
i don't get off work 'till about 4:30, so i should be leaving here with my neighbor kid about 5, or 5:15 to go that way....well gotta go to work now, & count the hours until i get to the show...chip
