 I did an overnighter to meet Joe, a General Contractor might help us with the hard stuff (walls, foundation, sewer line). Then we'll do the fun stuff (tile, flooring, finish stuff). Then he'll bail us out when we get stuck.

Joe grew up in Winslow and did work on the Motor Palace when it was Jenny's. It turns out Jenny's was named after the owners wife and he still lives in the area. Joe's going to arrange for us to meet.

This wall's going to be replaced.

Old Ford Trunk we found in Orange a couple weeks ago.
These mirrors came from a casino in Tahoe, they'll look great in Winslow. 
We picked up this bike and spent two hours in a crazy vintage bicycle shop buying a couple parts including an ass killing seat. We disassembled the crank, hubs, steering bearings, and derailleur, then cleaned, lubed, reassembled and adjusted everything. The chain only jumped off once on our maiden ride. It's two days later and my ass is still sore.

Mike Hodis of Rising Sun Jeans hosted a post Inspiration party Sunday with all the trimmings.

Mike's passion for quality is only rivaled by his knowledge and skill. Took the R100S out Santiago Canyon to try out the new throttle cables...they work, and had lunch at the Silverado Cafe . This place is pretty good. It reminds me of the cafes found in small towns far away from California. The waitress was real nice, the food was good, and lunch was less than $10 including coffee! I'm going to try breakfast next time. Cafe Racer Lunch Counter at Silverado Cafe I was honored to be allowed to drink from Rosemary's pretty cat mug. We got more Schott 141 Cafes and 689H Retro Horsehides. We're still waiting for  Women's One Stars. The NHRA Winter Nationals were this week and I hung around the

Pantera motor spotted at Belmont Shores car show today. Thanks for humoring me. This is a test for the mobile blog thing. It finally worked! Since you're here...this car really had a gold plated drivetrain and lots of trim including custom made bumpers. Believe it or not it looked really cool in a strange way. Here you go Barbary Buzzard. Lori got better shot of engine compartment. and the bumpers.

The mirror we bought at the swap meet in Tustin fits! We'll hang it up after we paint. We finally got to sleep in the Motor Palace! The apartment's almost done so we decided to give it a try for the 18th Annual "Just Cruzin' Car Show." "Almost done" as in electricity, water, toilet, walls, heating and AC. This is the positive spin for no tub and no hot water, and for some reason iPhones and Internet didn't work for crap all weekend. (Thanks for your patience Joe.) READ MORE
