    Just met Ken

     



    While down in southern California for my sister in law's wedding, I was able to hook up with Ken and his wonderfull wife Tina. Very nice folks. Ken is a true artist! His truck looks even better in person, it might even be as low as Don's T! He graciously showed me his current project as well as a future one that I'm sure he'll disclose when the time is right. Yes his shop is even better in person!Thanks Ken, Steve.
    Here are some shots I took of his truck.

    I didn't even think to ask. He let me see his progress on the 32 which was great. He said he'll post some pictures in the near future for that. The truck sits amazingly low, which to give you a perspective, the shot from behind was from a prius. Has a nice sound to it too! It was neat to see a fellow member and their projects. I couldn't believe the number of hotrods down here. Cool place to visit here are a few more shots from the million dollar breakfast, where we met.

    Steve- It was really nice meeting you and part of your family. Like Mooneye said it nice to put a face to someone you communicate with but never meet. When you come down again let me know we will hit all the hot car spots. Thanks for taking the time to stop buy.
    Ken

    I can’t think of a guy my age that didn’t do the California dreaming as a kid. You guys are so lucky to be in a place that appears to us dreamers as a wonder full place to be. I wanted to go in 1967 when I got out of the Army but had to start working, didn’t have the money for the trip. We did get there in 1986 came in from Sacramento, spent the night in Santa Cruz, we went through San Francisco pretty fast our little girl was afraid to touch anything we could even stop, she was 14 and heard about aids. We spent time in Anaheim went to Disney Land. I was looking for custom cars didn’t see to many must have been in the wrong area. The pictures of the truck, and the cars look so good, would love have grown up there.
