I used to make Tommy's a regular thing every time I came to town but the last 4 times I went to the one on Roscoe, the meal sucked.
They peaked and have fallen from grace. I will not return.

@autoxcuda was your hemi satellite parked in the survivor tent? What were the cutouts on the tops of the inner fenders for?

I think first owner's son street raced it and did that thinking it would bring in colder air. They were folded over, I folded them back
We stood there wondering for a while on that one. Still kinda am. There was a sister car to yours parked out on the grass. Both absolutely beautiful cars.

Thank you.

That is Bill Clark's. It's a lighter Bel II with bench seat less trim. He's the original owner. He raced it early one and got cheater carbs from Chrysler in 1966 for it.

He owns a auto shop in Alhambra and works on classic cars too:

Well done !!

... with all three pictures
Had to include the $10.00 actually $10.81 breakfast burrito you suggested. Not bad, but boy they are proud of that one !!!!
Especially after I ordered it, got to the window, and they told me about the $2.40 double cheeseburger special. :rolleyes::)

And his wife has a 500,000 mile 72 dart!
 
Had a great time also. Wasn’t able to be there Sunday. This is the first year I didn’t drag anything home from the swap area. Blanked this year. GTS made the 200 mile trip there and back. Got to catch up briefly with @Johnny Dart @junkyardhero. Didn’t run into @autoxcuda like I usually do. Until next year!

Looked for you and your car. Didn’t spend a bunch of time at the show portion of the event on Saturday. We were in the swap searching. On Sunday we spent more time in the show field. Missed hanging out with you.

Yea, Tommy's really raised their prices. I follow them on Instagram and they run those burger or hot dog only specials almost every weekend.

Personally I think the quality has stayed the same. But I eat them all the time. I like the California style burger little better than In and Out. But more expensive. The one here is Simi is not very busy. :(

Yeah looked for you. I was in the swap most the day, never spent much time at the car. I had some goodys for you and @Turbo440Dart. I guess I need to make a trip out to Norco soon.
 
@junkyardhero Good lord that is a lot of black paint!

He had tables full of fresh clean painted rebuilt suspension pieces. Nice work.

buddy if you needed suspension or a disc swap kit for your A body i was stocked FULL up.

and yeah, i cleared out ALL the 1K black paint in a 10mi radius and then ordered more!
 
If I'm not mistaken all new bushings and ball joints were installed, not just a coat of quick-sell black paint.


Alan
correct sir.

everything gets cleaned, checked and rebuilt with all new top quality joints and offset moogs in the uppers, all new proforged in the lowers. THEN the quick sell black paint! ;D
 
I do not recall said cookies being offered.

Think this is the first time I went to the fling and all I bought was a cheeseburger.
i see how it is.

show up and insult my hospitality, make disparaging remarks about my top quality parts, tell a bunch of dirty jokes and then leave without even buying anything!

i feel slighted! you didn't even try and low ball me!

at least turbo mike had the decency to sniff out a set of old school moroso valve covers AND get me a deal on them!

I spent all my money on Saturday and you weren’t there to help at all. I damn near payed full price for everything. Even my Girl said “you need Chris to wheel and deal for you”.
