Event Coverage LA Roadster Show with my Dad in a '40 Coupe

epic! I'm itching for a road trip now!

 

We just woke up, after the MGM Grand Buffet I was a zombie! My body started working on the food & it was all I could do to stay awake (I'm a night short on sleep).

Yes dad picked up a babe! LOL









I'm getting in the shower, then off we go!!

What a great thread. I feel like we're all riding along. Perfect Father's Day image.

 

Geez Mike, I can't figure what's more badass.

1. This trip

2. That coupe

3. I-phones.

I'm sold and will absolutely be buying one!

The coupe I mean...maybe an I-phone to.

 

more from our hoodless heros

 

we just need to teach you to post vids from the road....

 

I really just almost spit out my soda. "Aw Hell My Hair's Messed Up!"


Glad you guys are having fun!!!!! Something I always wanted to do with my dad. Keep the updates coming. And thank you for taking the whole HAMB on one hell of trip in a 40 coupe!

 

I drove my son's car the opposite direction on Memorial weekend. I was just dropping it off to him in Colorado Springs. I hope I can do trips like this with my kids....this is an inspirational thread!!!

I only snapped a couple of pics along the way....here's one from somewhere near St. George Utah. Look closely at the speed limit sign!!! (hard to see through the windshield glare)

 

This is one of the coolest threads I ave ever read on here. I lost my dad in 08. I envy you more than you will ever know. CHERISH theses memories. Enjoy!! Todd

 

We did it!! Uploaded our own video!!

Thx everyone for the replies, we are enjoying them!

Look at all the trucks coming down the hill





We are in Pomona!



I was reading posts while filling up and made a mess! I was laughing over the comment dad made about his hair!



Checking oil, we have a leak, gonna try to fix it externally tonight.




Dripping off the radius rod...

I don't reckon this would sit really well with the Cal. Enviro Geeks...nasty ol' leaky used cars. Like everyone else, I'm lovin' YOUR trip in the '40, and WHAT a '40 it is! DD

 

We went across the street and washed the car off.



Wiped her down..



Dad whiped out the aqua net and fixed his hair! LOL!



We hooked up with dads HS buddy Kurt at the hotel, we are headed out to the fairplex to look at the goods!

Enjoy.........

Looks fun and the thread you are posting is passion inspired to your Pop and hot Rodding. Keep adding the oil !

 

Cool that you guys made it out. An epic cruise.

Not much to do really. Freshen the engine, rewire, brakes, and new windshield. Oh and new rubber too. Wifeypoo working all night and watchin kids all day slow me down. Not to mention, friggin time away on HAMB.

 

Never knew that stuff could be used on wigs. Guess you learn something every day.
