The Cal-look Lounge

We are about 1 month away from the BIG ONE, and I was just checking in to see who is coming to all of the events this year.  Would love to put faces with names.

could someone then please take some good photos  ;)
you prolly have no idea how badly some people in europe want to see more of your lookers too...

or am i the only one?  ::) ;)

Ill be there with the GTV :)

I bought plane tickets several weeks ago, just don't have it in me to drive that far this year. See ya there........but where is there?

I'm counting down the days..June 4th we head out with the 67. I just offered up the wings today, it's looking like a car now. Should be able to take it for a spin this weekend!

Myself and my girlfriend are flying over! We are getting married the week before on Catalina Island then we hit up the classic week afterwards!  ;D 8)

Lanny, it would be especially cool to meet you as I have only ever spoken to Darren! (We are the UK distributor for LanD!)

Cool! Just look for Sepia Braun and a jaunty hat...

 ;D

My daughter graduates College that day, so we will probably have to skip it.  Shes really bummed about not taking her car this year and seeing all the others too.

I know one thing, Darrell...... I'm bringin' my car cover (just in case I get parked next to you again).
And that was just water in the Mother's bottle  ;D

Wow, thats a very generous offer Darrell!!  Maybe I will fly out after all!  :D

ROFL!

Dave,  You forgot to read the fine print at the end !  ;) :D :D

Gee thanks Darrell! ;D

Ha! This could go downhill very quickly

Since this thing has gotten out of hand, and now Keith owns my car, if I can get his permission I would like to do the following:

1 - Give everyone a chance to drive it.  ;)

2 - Weld a tow hitch to my traction bar and hook up a tram tralier to give 40 -50 people rides through the Classic all day long !  :D


The lines might look like this, but please be patient.     Just as long as eveyone has fun !  ;D

Perhaps you could charge for the rides.  For example anyone wanting a ride has to polish the chrome on your wheels or shine the mirrors under your car display.  ;D

Is it true that your display will look like this one?

Dave you keep forgetting that it is powdercoat on the wheels - you can't plate mag!   You are welcome to wipe them down though!

As far as the display goes -yep, that is exactly it except I added a smoke machine this year !

Actually, I was thinking that you should build a boxing ring around your car for your Classic display.   ;)

Mmmm, OK by me. Just don't let them smoke in it, OK? ;D

Uh Oh..that's my shop...Although I usually incorporate more robots. Look it's Buddy with his arms crossed...

That IS Buddy right there ! :D   I was hoping to be in the picture too, but I was putting my space suit on at the time of the photo.  ;D

The Golden Sahara, Dave isnt that the car you drove to prom in ;D

Jim Ratto is wanting me and Sheep to come down, but we have to share his bed  :o ;D

GEEZ...To Much Information ::) ;D!!  I've got a big cooler full if you guys show up...

Actually, the Golden Sahara (a true barris Kustom) is stored in a garage about a mile from my home.   :-X

sorry guys for the first time in many years I'd hate to say I am not coming
European BugIn absorbs all our European time here
take and post many pics

enjoy

This will be a total thread hijack to annoy Corny,  Re:  Barris Customs  I was driving down a residential  street near where I grew up in OC.  It was by my High School & I have been down this street many ,many times in the past 30 or so years. Anyway we were driving by a guy working on a nice model A p/u roadster in his driveway & back in the garage I caught a glimpse of green. I knew exactly what it was from the color & I nearly crashed the car,my wife thought I had lost my mind. I backed up to get a better look & I was correct.  It was the Barris  Hirohata Merc. I was so excited I could'nt stand it ,but I did'nt want to bug the guy,so we continued off around the corner to our friends house. When I got there I told him what I saw & he already knew it was there ,he had been there @ a yard sale. He told me to go back & talk to him so I did.  He was totally cool ,we stood & talked in his driveway for about 2 hrs from everything to the Merc to old bicycles he had around. I had 1st read about that it still existed in Street Rodder mag. probably about the time I was riding my skateboard to school in the 70's & there it was the whole time. Oh yeah I will probably show up to the Classic.  Later Bill
