Sunday Red Sunset... (December 10, 2017)
 |
| This picture just didn't capture the sky at it truly looked. The sky was nearly blood red during sunset. The smoke dust from the fires... |
Long Beach Swap Meet (Sunday, December 10)
 |
| This was interesting because the door/rear quarter sheet metal is from a Sunbeam Alpine (Maxwell Smart's car). It's running airbags. Looks like a lot of work went into the car. The suspension and overall build quality was quite high (even though it was going for the rat-rod look with rusty parts)... |
MG swap meet in Lake Forest (Saturday, December 9)
 |
| Brasil flag... I don't think it's for a car though... |
 |
| This guy had an interesting assortment of stuff... Asking way too much though... |
 |
| Super cool interior. Interesting "sprung" steering wheel and what looks like a "sprung" steering column. The car is a XK120 coupe. |
 |
| One of the best looking engines of all time (along with '20s Bugatti, '50s Alfa, etc.) |
 |
| XK120 Grille (stamped, as opposed to "built-up" like the later larger grilles...). Very narrow and tall. Overheating was an issue on these cars... |
 |
| Rex Parker's 1971 280S (with 3.5L V8 engine) |
 |
| The upper door hinge mounting location is a welded on piece to the hinge pillar. A very labor intensive and precision requiring process... |
 |
| This is a pretty rare car to see. It's a 1961 Jaguar 420 (with the XK I6 engine and an automatic transmission) |
 |
| This is a D-Type replica. It's pretty nice... |
 |
| A '60s Moto Guzzi (front drum brake) |
 |
| XK150 -- Beautiful details... |

| Austin Healey 3000 |
