Another one of Brad's hang outs was Father's, which was up the street from his shop on North Main, just past Collins. They sold more beer than anyone (which Brad assisted a skosh...) A pitcher of Bud and a couple of Polish dogs was the inside line for Brad...

I have done quite a few over the years. A couple of the top shots are my work and I always think they look better in PVC or leather. The cloth insert is not so defined. Just my 2cents.

When Brad closed down his shop in Anaheim, I took over the ownership of his workbench, bench grinder, floor jack, sign (!) and so on. I treasure all these tools, considering their history.

That is very cool.

Here is a shot of Brad's last shop in southern California. This one was on North Grove in Anaheim, which I shared with him. That's Brad on the left, with Harvey Weidman who now does Porsche alloy wheel detailing. Photo was taken around 1976.

Probably buried somewhere out at Glamis Cheesy  Harvey (and his brother, Al), Deano, Brad, and Mike Martin were all responsible for hooking Sharon and I on the dunes in 1974... those were the days.  Another cool pic, Dean!! Cool

Yeah, Brad was a serious VW guy! He drove a Baja Bug (with Levis interior!) for years, and had a bitchin' sandrail. He built his own engines too.

Actually, that was a US 90, one of the first ATCs ever built (metal front fender, fiberglass rear). That's how I got into 3Wheeling was that trike (which I purchased from Mike Martin, who later bought my '67).

Notice the Bug-In 8 poster on the wall...

I'd bet that wheelstander is Al Weidman... he was the wheelie king back then and did it all with a rear engined car! Cool
