WHAT'S HAPPENING

SULTANS

BILL'S MERC IS TASTEFUL W/ DRESSED FLATHEAD

A FEW HOT RODS. THIS IS ALL A SPORT COUPE NEEDS

It's comfortable, then, to look at sleds of all descriptions and a few hot rods in this 'Old Home' venue - a mellow affair with a host club that appreciates your patronage, doesn't mind if you show up late and sneak in (ya gotta go find them , though, and pay the donation para be a good citizen) and you get a great spot, doin' it that way.

We turned up a Bel Air we been tryin' to catch for Hop Up 2002, made the deal and now the custom section of the book is complete as planned. Stay tuned.

Why is it that at custom chingos it seems more laid-back than rod runs? Maybe the custom community is made up more of car guys - long time in grade - and not so many manic posers. Youda thought it was the other way, what with the front row cruising image we have of The Day, so we think maybe there are fewer neuvos in the custom gangs. There was, again, an absence of primered cars and we hope that's just because some of the clubs don't know about the meet and not anything else.

WHAT TO DO? GET A RESTORED CAR AND SCREW IT UP. OH YEAH

WE'D LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THESE WHEELS AND LESS OF THE RWL'S

WHEN WILL GARY BE DUNN WITH THIS CAR?

NICE PONCHO

Ended up at the Blue Cafe where customs, rods and scooters park on the promenade so's you can watch them while taking in some music and likker on the patio. Cigar smoke was curlin' up and fogging the view of the sleds, and the afternoon Long Beach sun was flickering on moving, luscious people who were there, obviously digging being there. Being alive. And nobody there seemed to give a shit about who somebody else worked for... or was born to......or what inside dope they mighta had on some absent 'celebrity'.......

Light it up, Baby.

THE ANTI-BLESSING

We'll turn this page over to the i-net folks before the 28th, and if it's convenient, we'll insert some pictures or comments on the 29th. Or not.
