Beecher’s BBQ Bash

Hats off and a BIG thank you to Steve Beecher for hosting a nice BBQ yesterday afternoon at his impressive digs.  It’s been a while since the last party at Steve’s house and there were a number of new home improvements to check… most notably the garage addition, a total kitchen rebuild and an annoying wall removal.  We feasted on burgers and hot dogs all washed down with PLENTY of cold beer… then there was those mini chocolate cupcakes with the Reese’s Peanut Butter cups inside… OH MY!!!  As most of us who know Steve best can attest to, he is quite the savvy shopper at all the local swap meets, so there was plenty to check out in the house not to mention that six car garage!  Thanks Steve!!!

Schwimmer Headed to Japan

Bill’s iconic ’59 along with the Schley Bros Lightning Bug are headed to Japan the end of October.  The Moon Eyes 21st Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show is slated for December 2.  Among the different classes of cars, there will be a  “Spotlight on Air Cooled in Action” that the two cars are being invited to participate in.  Dale Snoke’s awesome ’64 Mercury Comet B/FX gasser is making the trip over as well.  Those who attended Dave Galassi’s shop parties in the past are familiar with the street striping capabilities of Dale’s car!

Sunday SUNDAY!!

Another beautiful Sunday afternoon in SoCal for our club meeting but first a few brews at Sarge’s house.  Haven’t had Ratto around much lately, so it was cool to kick it in the back yard for a while before heading over to Fullerton.  Fabien and Kiki, Jason, and Don joined the cruise through Carbon Canyon.  It was cool to see Mike Hunsaker and his white ‘Vert at our meeting… it’s been a long time since the last viewing!
