LA Roadster Show

Who is going to the roadster show this weekend ? So they are having some boats this year also . Eddie McPheeters of Eddie's Inboard Marine of Tucson was invited to bring some boats and has hauled at least 4 boats out there . 3 Mandella's and the big suprise is the the Missing Fuel injected "Honcho" . I know for a few years people on RDP have been wondering where this boat has been hiding .
One of the Mandella's is my old boat in my avatar but has been redone in a light purple metalflake . Also their 2023 Parker Endura GN class winning boat and another that Eddie rigged as a marathon boat but has not been raced yet . If anyone goes please take some pictures and post them .

I was not able to get a finished picture of Honcho . I was sick all week and when I went over yesterday they had left Wed .

The color of the 90 boat is exactly what my 69 Mandella that is being restored will be .

I believe 30 boats were invited and 29 made it. Unfortunately, mine is the one that did not. I am dealing with some health stuff and couldn’t do the 16hr drive.

Kinda bummed im not going this year . Would love to see the 35 chev coupe that Tracy from ironworks ( Bakersfield) has been building for about 8 years . It is fine jewelry all the way. His team has really knocked it out. On par with that will be Troys 36 roadster that I am quite positive will get the AMBR this year. Cool that there is s boat display this year as they are the water hot rods

Eddie and his guys did a great job on honcho. When I sold it to jamie 10 years ago I thought it would have been completed sooner. But good things take time.

Those were the guys I saw Wed around 5:30 on the 210W Rancho/Upland, I remember the trailer with the gold wheels.
