Return of The TECH NITE

Desi: Is the Claimjumper North or South of the 405?
Looking forward to it.....
Doug (Leon but I go by Doug thanks. it's an alter ego thing LOL).

Doug - as you exit the Southbound 405 onto Brookhurst (in Fountain Valley) the Claim Jumper is located on the left at the next intersection (Talbert). Your VFR will be the Shell gas station, Claim Jumper is behind that station.

Do what Jim said, the weather is beaaaaaaaaaaaautiful today,should be perfect cruizin weather on Saturday : )

Cabanaboy - Happy Thanksgiving !!!

cold and windy at the Zoo Turkey is in the oven

Near 80 degrees and sunny today. Had to get the car out for a cruise. This is nearly December?

Just ate, time for a nap ;$

Enjoy that weather Lane it's 24 degrees in Chi-town going down to 17.

Jim: Thanks for the info. Looking forward to this. Gives me just enough time to recoup after Thanksgiving. Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was Blessed.
Doug

I'll try to secure spots against the 5 Fwy, it will be to your far right as you enter the parking lot.
I'll need a count?

Desi- sorry but I am not going to be able to make it. I took a run up to Mammoth to make some turns in the fresh pow and I didn't make it back into town. Sorry man, but the fresh powder was calling me. Have a great run :-)

Ready or not here I come. See you at the Claimjumper. Cell#: 626-808-3763.

Put me down for the next Tech night or Tech day!

what a great day
thanks everyone

KV-

Who fabricated your rollbar? It's got a great shape.

Ditto what Gerd said,and a special thanks to Desi and his good planning.
Thanks

Had a great day with the Tub Club shhhhh.
Came home fell a sleep for 2.7 hours , i'll post some pics soon.

Thanks! The original CMC bars are too square for such a curvy car. it was made by an air craft fabricator back in 57 for an original Speedster along with the tonneau cover(hand formed aluminum).
Ken

Great day. Cars & Coffee was amazing... never seen anything like it. Great company, great views in Laguna Beach, and a lesson on Webers from Roland. Even lunch was replica German just to round things off.

Thanks Desi. Good times.

KV-

I'm wondering if you could post some close-ups of how the bar mounts, and where it falls in the car- how far in front of the bulk-head, how wide, etc.

I'd really, really like to copy that bar. It's a beauty.

It was nice getting a chance to meet some of the SOC folks. Hopefully next time it won't be below freezing when I leave home and I will have the balls to drive my new (old)toy.

Desi, thanks for organizing a great day! It was a pleasure meeting some new club...er....forum members. GERD, thanks for bringing Vince!

Will u have to give Vince credit for coming back from Arizona for tech nite. The least I could do was to drive him

Hers's some picture of the infamous West Coast SOC :
1. Old World - lunchtime
2. Roland - Webber carb 101
3. Welcome to the madness - we encourage this stuff !!

Some more:

Hey Guys!

Had a great time yesterday.

Desi, thanks for setting this up.

Roland, thanks for the tech 101 and great seeing your shop.

John and Doug, great to meet both of you and seeing your fantastic cars.

Here are some pics of the day:

KV - it would be cool for you to join us on any of our other cruises. We saw your Speedster Outlaw when our group was at the Petersen Museum for the History of Automotive Fiberglass. I think that there is a certain other Speedster Outlaw (with orange hoops) that may be a distant cousin to your car.

Peace - Out!

Right you are, Jim!
Ken, I love your car. It looks like you went more or less for the same look as I did -- you just did it right the first time!
The windshield and floorboards are pretty similar ... is the windshield glass? Looks like it might be.
You must know a guy, huh?

Sure I would like to do some crazy cruising! I remember you guys from Peterson's. I have been through alot with this obsessive beast! . I would like to set it and forget it. Needy Bitch! I still lover her though!
I am running down to Rowland's shop on Sat. To figure out the carb situation.
So is it Carb Night or day that you guys are doing and when?

K V - next meet will be this Saturday - Cars & Coffee - check in !

... so no roll bar pictures, then? :-(

Stan.
Here's a video that shows his roll bar pretty well.
