Classics Legends in the park, Locos United.

Classic Legends Lowrider & Kustom show, Japan.

On Saturday March 7th the day before the big show we were treated to an outdoor show sponsored by Classic Legends association and Old Memories CC Japan. Together they presented the Locos United show in the Aichi Tokoname Rinku bay area.

please check out,            http://classiclegends.jp/locosunited        for more information.

Situated along the shoreline of the Nagoya bay, it was a perfect location for an outdoor show. Music, BBQ, Hot soup, ( it was a little cold ) and great tacos!

And there were some cool cars too!

I had an opportunity to talk to Howard in Nagoya. He is such a great man and a wealth of knowledge. A car enthuisest and photographer, his collection of lowrider photography spans more then 5 decades and he often shares them with us. Thank you for your time and for attending the show.

Happy Hoppy

IT LIVES!

Sorry, I have neglected my blog, again.
For weeks I have been wrenching non stop on El Chop trying to make it road worthy and yesterday I reached a milestone, I drove it! This car has been in my possession for over 10 years and in that time its never moved under its own steam, but on 5/12/13 it did. OK, it was only around the block, once, BUT it run. it steers, it goes up and down, and most important it stops!.
UNION, here I come!
It still needs a TON of work, but the light at the end of the tunnel it getting brighter. I just hope thats sunlight I see and not a fright train.

The Challenge

I don't plan. I procrastinate, then nearly kill myself working on a car to try and make a show. Sometimes its my car, sometimes its a club members car. 12 weeks and counting and the body is not even mounted to its frame. I have a back up car just in case but I hope to drive this car in May.
