Los Angeles river

A while back I was asked to participate in a photo shoot for a denim jeans co. 3rd & Army. Most of the shoot took place in the Los Angeles river, a local auto repair shop and surrounding streets.  I got to hang out with friends, met a couple new people and was given lunch, a tee shirt and a few bucks. But best of all, I got to drove my shoebox in the LA river along side some cool hot rods.
Now I wear Levi's 501 so I can't recommend the pants they gave me but check them out anyway, that is if your into the whole "hipster, lumberjack" look.

Happy Hoppy

Papas Sin Sal, AKA The 30 day wonder

 
Spanish slang for a person with no personality - simple - boring, bland individual. Literal meaning is "potatoes without salt."

This car was found in a garage in Inglewood Ca. still since 1979. Rats ate the interior, the flat head 6 was junk. the wiring was bad, the tires rotten, glass missing, steering was worn and it didn't stop.
And Santa Maria was 45 days away, YES I want to drive this car to that show.
( it should be named "the 45 day wonder" but my club members christened it "the 30 day wonder", go figure)
With my sanity, money and free time tossed aside I went to work. With help from my neighbor Larry, and my car club members, Panel Beaters baby! I made it to the show.
A lot more has been done since I got it running, but for now the Earl Scheib paint and tired chrome stays as I drive and enjoy my Papas Sin Sal.
