    Huntington Beach Cruise-In 2014

    Hi everyone,

    We've got the potential date for the 2014 Huntington Beach Cruise-In and it is Saturday, April 26th. If any one is aware of any major conflicts with this date (such as another big car show), please let me know as soon as possible at [email protected].

    Sally, I have checked all of the calendars of the organizations that I know of and see nothing as a conflict.

    Sally, I have a call into the AHA folks to find out their date. Will update you when they respond.

    David, The AHA told me they are looking at the 12th or the 19th depending on when the Ford Council has Fabulous Fords planned.

    Hi Salley,

    Has the format change that Dave spoke about been confirmed or progress make? What I'm eluding to is the change from the pier to Main Street for the cars. Didn't make it this year but want to for sure in 2014! Thanks, WEK.

    The cars were on main street this year, along with on the plaza and upper parking lot (see pic above).

    Next year we are expanding the use of main street - we only used about 1/2 of it's capacity this year - and will still use the plaza for the FFR display but the parking lot will be eliminated entirely, unless there is a substantial increase in attendance.

    HB - WhooHoo!!

    I'm in . . . cleared any and all "conflicts" so I can be there again. Any conflict that could or would be in my way is of no concern. NOTHING is as important as HBCI '14 . . . not even ehansen007's Bikini waxing, which, by-the-way, had me rolling on the floor spewing milk out of my nose (luckily, I missed the keyboard this time).

    I'm in as well - already got the date penciled onto my calendar.
    Should be done with the build by then ... basically just have interior left to be done.
    Unless my info is wrong - it'll likely be the 1st Anniversary car at Huntington (I'm #10 of 15)

    Here's a couple current pic's ...

    Bill- It would still be great if you could stop by the show, check out the new builds, and say hi.

    We here in the Phoenix area are gearing up to make the show again this year. I will be working with the band (Nomads) again this year. Last year I was on the beach while they were on Main street. This year we will all be on Main Street. Should be a great show and we are looking forward to it.

    I am looking forward to the HB event this year - I am one year-plus into my build and am going to see how the Coupe folks finished some things. Here are some images and a video from HB Cruise-Ins from the past to get everyone looking here excited....

    A BIG THANKS to Sally and the Factory Five Racing crew for another great event. I was there to gather as much info on the Coupe as I can, since I am a year-plus into my build.

    So... I guess next year's event will be on 4/27?

    Does that mean Factory Five is going to get sued again?
