Thursday

We left the hotel at 7 AM this morning, the first stop was Lil Louie's shop. He is an awesome pin stripper and molding maker. You should see the beautiful chromed moldings that he makes. Next door is Gabe's interior shop, another super craftsman.
From there We went to a private collection. A nice mix of street rods and customs, two buildings full, right on a main street, downtown. Next was a car lot, full of neat old cars, rods all for sale. There was also a building around the corner full of his personal cars. He took us to an airplane hanger full of more cars, a deuce roadster, 47 convert, F100, and more. In the other half of the hanger was a race car collection...just unreal!
We stopped for lunch at a great Mexican place and then headed for Marcels, Barry Whites, always great to visit those guys. They are both in Corona. Down the road about 10 miles also in Corona was Extreme Hot Rods. A huge great shop at his house. Mary had a great meal for us, thanks Mary!! They all made us feel so much at home. I'll attach a few photos, I took over 50 today, but will show you just a few.
