The Big Party Garage is legend. I wore my BPG Tshirt to the Steve McQueen car show and got stopped a couple times - Have you been there? How can I see it? were the questions.

The tools stay nice because you rarely needed to fix a Ford?........ (or anyone could keep them running with farmer fixes) My grandmother with the family T - ad for my grandfathers shop knowing there was money to be made fixing Chevrolets,

Congrats on the win. The trophy case for the Zepher must be getting full. Bob's Norco - the only one with a cowboy hat.

The visit could have been last week and there would be changes.......... I think Don & Ann could do one of those spot the changes puzzles where you need to spot the changes in 2 different pix of the same area. Don's cars and tools may be easy but Ann's storefronts would take some real detail...

This video made me think of Don & Ann doing a show with their western town as the backdrop next to the Big Party Garage.

Glad to see the burner is lit again under the COE. I'm really looking forward to this build.

Maybe not the modern metallic color (it would also get lost in the bed being the same color) but something complementary - the interior color with the EL Camino color for pinstriping??

That pedal car will be a real eye catcher parked in the bed of the El Camino at shows.

When mechanics worked by the clock - not the flat rate book.

I think he found it at Hershey. He headed there a couple weeks ago - trailer in tow. I imagine it will be pretty full by the time he gets home again.

It's easy to see why the city fathers would want it. Corona has one of the richest racing heritages in SoCal. In 1913 the city got 100,000 spectators to come watch races around the Grand Blvd. circle that still exists. Fatalities ended those races. They opened a new one in 1971 but houses...

Yes it's a keeper - but in CT. I think the Big Party Garage needs this one every time I drive past it in La Verne. It's about the only vintage sign left around here.

The neon will really wake it up. I knew a guy with a Mobil sign and once he got the neon restored the sign really looked great. It's probably an art you'd need to go to Las Vegas to find anymore.

It should be the other way around. Shell was red & yellow while McD was still Speedee. BTW - they still have a 15 cent burger but, it costs 2 bucks..........

I had a blue 54 in college - 1968. Trans died and I swapped it for a 2 year old VW Bug. At that time you could still buy carb parts because they also used one on the turbo Corvair. That was a good thing because if it sneezed it blew the pump diaphragm.

6 weeks of building - 9 months of billable hours? Or 9 months of work condensed into 6 1 hour shows. The negotiations -

+1 - A friend owned a Bizzarrini - Italian body, Chevy 327. There was a cover on the top of the dash you changed the points through. The second time he asked me to change them I insisted we put in a Pertronix electronic kit.

It was rebuilt on the Car Kings show. Someone had built it and Barris bought it. They rebuilt it to use on Sanford & Son but the show was cancelled before it was used. https://tubitv.com/tv-shows/200041500/s01-e05-holy-smokes-batman

Miss San Francisco 1951. When she and Michael Ansara lived nearby in West Covina the call always went out when there was a sighting. They had moved to our sleepy little town to get their son away from the Hollywood drug scene.

I have a jack like the one in the foreground that was my grandfathers. I had thought the square handle was a shop built item but this tells me it's original and someone didn't run over and bend a round one. My rear wheels are different they have cast iron covers over them with an aero look...
