    Naked in Huntington Beach

    If you ever have a chance enter your car in a show as a "work in progress", DO IT!

    $68 for a U-Haul and its a guaranteed good time.

    My brother came down from Northern California and we went to the Huntington Beach Cruise In as an Under Construction entry. We had an absolute blast. We were answering questions and talking to people non-stop.



    I tried to continue the Dave Hodgkins tradition of showing all the tall man mods and letting guys sit in the car to prove they can fit.



    I met a lot of forum member and talked to many who were considering ordering. My favorites were the guys who came buy just because they missed seeing their cars in the naked chassis stage.

    I'll be back next year, but fully dressed.

    Nice. My local SPCA is having their annual Walk For The Animals, their largest fund raiser of the year, this weekend. Part of it is the Cars & Critters Car Show, sponsored by some local exotic owners, also to raise money for the SPCA. I'm taking the naked Boss. They say I'll be parked next to a bright red 430. Lets see who gets more attention...

    Steve,
    I came over to look at your build and meet you but you weren't there. I talked to some folks and they thought it was my build! Maybe next year...

    Odd how the naked one on the beach is always the person who has done the least amount of work on their body.
