First few days in LA, we went around the shops trying to beat the rush of people expected ..managed to see Scandanavian Street Rods, Circle City, Poor Boys, C W Moss, Reids Rod Parts, Waldens, Kennedy Bros, So Cal, Hanks, Hugos, Aldans,Team C. etc.
Met good friend, Daul Grau at the So Cal open day, this guy does more miles in hot rods than anyone I have ever met...check his trips on his blog at
www.thedeuceguy.blogspot.com
Love to turn up at the T.A.C. with this and ask for rego...funny how this sort of thing is accepted over there..police don't take a second look, but.....would you drive it??
At Waldens, we were shown around by Griff...he brought out one of his deuces on the open day...how cool is this 3 window!
The chassis work at all the shops is amazing, and lots of new ideas being used. This shot from Scandinavian shows the type of work he prefers...traditional styling!
Kennedy Brothers had this vintage flattie powered dragster in their collection, along with way too many cars and parts to show in this blog..super nice guys, just round the next corner from So Cal.
Saw this completely riveted frame at Waldens, It was being made for a European customer, and the workmanship was incredible....can you imagine the time that went into this, rather than a weld here and there?
We went to the drags at Irwindale and saw this restored old circle track car in the pits. Our hot rod heritage comes from racing...dirt track..drags..dry lakes..so nice to see something like this preserved.
