The Bendix Electrojector - Hemi Injection

These are neat! If anyone has any ACTUAL pictures of one of these mounted on an engine, let me know! Very cool!

Can't remeber what site I found these on, but I can't take credit for the scans. I think one of the pages got out of order, but here's the info.

*** ATTENTION! Johnie's Broiler Sign STOLEN! ***

A few months ago, someone apparently wanted to take a little something for themselves to remember Johnie's Broiler. The 18-foot long sign was removed from the premises. The sign looks like the one circled in the photo below.

Hard to miss, folks! If you have information you may email Kevin at: cyclonequickie@aol.com or myself: scootermcrad@yahoo.com.

Just looking for the sign to be returned. Annonymous is fine. Just want information leading to its return. PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT! Pretty hard to miss an 18-foot sign, but people need to know it's missing first! Post it on your blogger pages, post it on your websites, send emails to your friends, whatever it takes! Your help is appreciated!

Johnie's Broiler is now Bob's Broiler and is located at 7447 Firestone Blvd. Downey, California, 90241. (562) 927-3383

Any help would be appreciated by all that have helped bring back this national landmark!

** NOTE! Please read Kevin's comments in the comment section below this post for more details. **

Thanks!

Mooneyes X-mas, Rain or Shine... it POURED!

Despite all the rain and chill, it was really a fun time at Mooneyes X-mas party at Irwindale Speedway this weekend. It rained, it poured, there were lakes in the parking lot, but people still came and had a great time and made the best of it! Anyone with an EZ-UP made new friends and I appreciate all that let me duck under when it was coming down in sheets!

Gotta' love an El Nino year.... UHG!

WOW! At the lakes...

Can't remember where I got these pictures, but if I remember correctly, this guy drove a LONG WAYS to get to Bonneville and nothing was going to stop this adventure!

EDIT! This Deuce belongs to Keith Cornell from the Rolling Bones Hot Rod Shop in New York. Thanks Pete! They say the memory is the first to go as you get older. HA!

Here's to people that DRIVE the hell out of their hot rods!! That's what it's allll about!

If anyone knows the owner, reply with a comment so I can give them credit. THANKS!

Off topic Friday - Young C. Park Corsair Model

Been trying to stay on-topic with the blog, but being that I'm a sucker for detail and a sucker for WWII fighter planes (ESPECIALLY the F4U series Corsairs) I HAD to pass this along for those who haven't seen this incredible masterpiece!

The model was built by retired dentist, Young C. Park. 6000+ hours to build I would say the work has paid off! The pictures are from Craftsmanship Museum website and you can find the link here:

Young C. Park- Model Builder

Note the P-51 Mustang model there as well! INCREDIBLE!

Also make sure to check out the other pieces on the main website! Incredible!

Greg Cueva's '53 Pontiac Chieftain

Stumbled on this car a few days ago. Not sure why this is the first time I've seen it, being that he's basically in the neighborhood, but I was floored when I saw the pictures.

(Pictures pulled from various places on the web, including the HAMB and Venice Devils' site)



The car is owned by Greg Cueva of Venice, California, and is by far one of the nicest looking custom Ponchos I have ever seen! Kustom flare with classic Pontiac styling! It's a 1953 Chieftain 2-door Hardtop. Bagged on all four corners with 4-link out back and a C-notch kit from Gambino Kustoms. Chassis work was executed by "The Shop", in Lomita, California. It is currently running the Pontiac Inline 8, but is undergoing an engine change for a Pontiac 400/TH400 combo, as well as some paint work.

Looking forward to seeing this one in person when it gets out of the paint shop! Well done Greg!

Hmmmm....

Never know.... future may be brighter.

How to change a VW belt!

AWESOME! HAHA!

Thanks for sending this Lou!

Quinton/Joehnck Coupe - Pics from Paul

Okay! Back to the blog! Was away from life during the holiday, including the computer. While I was gone I got an email from Paul Hoffmann, one of the previous owners of the Quinton/Joehnck Comp. Coupe discussed earlier in my blog (Comp Coupe). Paul sent me some pictures of this black and blue, dynamic duo... Have a look for yourself! (I'm sure a few of you will recognize the black coupe as well! MMMMM... Can we say Lomas Coupe?) Couldn't ask for a more beautiful couple, right there!

Thanks for the nice email and pictures, Paul! Much appreciated!
