Too cool Crispb! I didn't realize Renewal had been around that long. They painted the frame for our coupe. They don't do Custom work anymore. Had a hard enough time getting them to paint a frame! I haven't been around here long enough to recognize most of those but a lot of them are familiar.

Now, do you have any from Reedley...?

Yes Richard Peters and the Ala Carte were Fresno born, interesting also is the scalloped 32 in the back ground, built and owned by Phil Sweet of Fresno. You can find it in the 1959 Hot Rod Annual.
This car was later torched by what was believed to be a rival car club. The damage was not extensive, and the paint was repaired. Rich

 

Wonder if this is the '68 I drove back in the day? Sure wish I still had it!
