Places to check out in NorCal

So here is the deal, I am going to the Monterey area for 8 days and I was wondering where are some cool rod shops or car places to check out while I am there. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks.

 

Salinas Boys

 

I plan on checking out Salinas Boys. There has to be some other stuff? Anybody?

 

if I were from Kansas and went to Monterey I'd be spending some time checking out the coast, a person can see HOT ROD stuff anywhere.

 

I agree, but I have been there a few times and plan on spend some time at the beach as well. I did see today there is a car and bike show at Salinas Boys on the 5th so thats cool

 

Monterey is great...

 

You might see if anything is happening at Laguna seca raceway. And drive a coupe hours north for Turlock swap on the May 6th?

 

Went to Salinas Boys shop. Cole and Susan are real nice. We got to look around the shop and bought some cool gear. Also took in the car,bike and flat track races on the 5th in Salinas and a good show Sand City on the fifth. And oh yeah 49ratfink, i spent plenty of time at the beach.

 

I get down that way I always go through Fort Ord ..... I heard voices from the past.

 

There's also Reggie Jackson's collection in Sand City called Route 66 I believe. Rod Powell I've been told has a small shop in Salinas.

 

My brother in law took me by Reggies place but it was all closed up. Might try again tomorrow. I am leaving to go back to KC on sat. morning.

RDP,
a second vote for Baja Cantina.
lots of authentic parts, pieces, automotive signage.
some on here bitch about the price and the food, but i like both.
lots to look at while you're there.

i've never been there, but you might want to check out the museum at Canepa Design.

Good luck!
