Nitro Night at Cruisin’ Grand…

Of course it was another banner year going to Nitro Night at Cruisin’ Grand!! If you have never been we have a small glimpse of what the day and into the night is like. This show is held in the heart of Escondido on its main street of Grand avenue! This year as many years before, they had over 20 drag racing classics. The day starts with a few rounds of the cackle cars firing up where they are parked for all to view up close and personal before they run into action to drive down grand.

Some of the most iconic cars were there along with their owners, like Sam Harding’s Poison Ivy AA/FD, Larry Huff’s Soapy Sales, Thomas-Pritchard & Harrison Beaver Hunter AA/FA, Tom Ivo’s Barnstormer, and Gruzen-Newhouse AA/FA just to name a small few!!

In any case this is a night not to miss out on. It’s definitely more than just the start of the engines, taking in the smell of nitro or the flames that light up the night! It’s a time to come together and share your passion of drag racing, it’s a night to meet legends! It’s also the last night of Cruisin’ Grand, so you’ll need to get your classic car fix just one last time before the next car show season starts!

We want to thank all the guys at the Cruisin’ Grand organization that keep this tradition alive! We greatly appreciate you all year long!

See you all next season and we hope you plan accordingly to make it out next year for Nitro Night!!

Tom Medley’s Stroker Mcgurk Comic Book!!!

When we heard  that Tom Medley’s family was making a Stroker comic of all the very best of Tom’s work, we couldn’t have more excited!! We purchased our copy right away and have been very entertained re getting to know all the hard work Tom has done through his lifetime. If you are looking to pick up a copy use the link provided and happy reading of the adventures of Stroker McGurk and all his crazy hot rod pals!!

HRCS at Goodguys Del Mar

This year was just as amazing as previous years, however there was an added excitement this time around. We still haven’t figured out what that element may be, but due to it being a few accumulative factors such as this years new lowrider palace also Goodguys had the first ever burnout show!! Plus it could have just been that the weather was amazing and we had a vast array of our own builds that we’ve had proudly on display. Or it could have been excitement of a few wins our builds received, that definitely added to the thrill of the show. Such as the Charley Hutton Builders Choice award on our 1961 Chevy Impala as well as the Deuce Doin’s award on our 1932 Ford. Also we had our 1953 Chevy truck build receive the Trick Truck Corral. It made for a good show!!

In the end we want to thank everyone that came out and visited with us, stayed long enough to thoroughly enjoy our work and chatted about what excited them. We appreciated you as we build these classics not just for their owners but for all of you who enjoy the history of classic cars and trucks. Until next time we look forward in seeing you all real soon!!

The motherland of the avid 32 collector…

We were in search of a very rare part, not so long ago either for our 1932 four door restoration build. So we  put a call to action out on our social media sites and low and behold we were directed to what we call now 32 Wonderland. It’s just a vast property of a avid 1932 collector up in the La Canada hills. It is the home of Indian Mike and his lovely wife Silver.

With some of my pictures you’ll see Indian Mike has everything you could possibly need for your project and that’s right 90% of everything he has is up for sale!! The car community is a good one, where we all take car of each other to help preserve automotive history and it’s one that we couldn’t be more thankful about!!

So to help return the favor Indian Mike and Silver are very small in selling their stock. We would like to give you that information if one day you too are ever in need!!

You can email Mike at

practicekindness7@gmail.com

and you can ask him if he has what you are in need of.

Good luck in your search and hope you enjoyed our adventure!!!
