Thread: Went to a tiki/rat rod car show yesterday

Tweet

That show last year with Jimmy Shine, showed the build of that gold 32,
think it was called Hard Shine

I live here in Ventura,I just went down and watched em all leave the fair grounds from the beach parking lot!That place is like 3 miles away from me.
Looked like a pretty good turn out.

My brother's waaay into the tiki scene (but not the cars)

Like in Margaritaville, surfers, beaches and island culture?????

I was there from 6 to 8 am. They wouldn't let me in cuz I was gonna leave early. Parked outside the gates and hitched a ride in a 66' Rancho Gasser. Made a pass, to look at the cars, then went home.

You guys are good. Yes- this was the Ventura show, I think it's called Back to the beach? Not a big turn-out, we didn't get there until 10am as spectators. Left about 1. Met some friends there, it's a good 2 hour drive for us in the gas pig Suburban.
I will say I talked to alot of people, shiny paint or not & everyone was as friendly as can be. I'd walk up and ask a question about their car & they'd be all smiles talking about their car. They had some very cool trophys- small vintage looking surfboards, every one of them were different.

Yes- that gold 32 was all built by Jimmy Shine. The paint is absolutely beautiful. Pics don't do the car justice.

That's it!
Several of the venders were friends of my brother. A few good deals. I snagged the hard cover book "Up in Flames" brand new for 15 bucks.
