Another amazing day on the water on board the El Gato Dos!  Bryan and Kerim rocked it as usual.  72 degree water…not a cloud in the sky…needless to say the fish were swarming!  The young sea turtle we saw definitely added to the day’s good fortune.  The days end total was 25 Yellowtail, 3 Bluefin Tuna and 2 Dorado.   We had a lot more in and near the boat…Epic day.  Big fish of the day went to Andrei…32 lb. Yellowtail…It was a monster.  Thanks again Bryan and Kerim and thanks Schorn for setting it all up!  We’ve been eating good!

Catch Up: Goodguys Nationals Del Mar - 3-31-2012

Every year I look at my photos from Del Mar Goodguys and I have a ton of photos of all of the same cars...I just went for a few highlights this year.  The biggest highlight of them all...well next to Zoe being there...Was Joe entering his '56.  He put a lot of work into his ride...And after all of the years of talking about having his car in the show...It was great to finally see it in there.  Nice work, Joseph.

Big Day...

It has been a long time coming...but today was the day.

Joe and I both cruised our rides into work! Woot Woot!

We picked up his ride yesterday @ Hot Rods & Custom Stuff after they finalized a few finishing touches on the clutch and transmission.

Super stoked on Joe's ride...It is freaking beautiful. It didn't really seem like it had been that long since we were sand blasting the frame @ his dad's shop. Then we did the math...It has been that long. Crazy to look back at the starting point to where it is now...Awesome!

Congrats buddy! Glad to see all your hard work pay off...Stoked to see you on the road!

I am going to need a significantly large head start or a really strong tail wind to keep up with him once he gets her all broken in.

Morley Field...

Joe's nephew Austin was in town over the 4th of July weekend. We took Friday off and did up Morely Field for a little disc golf in the morning and some Lolita's for lunch...Great little day! Perfect way to kick off the holiday weekend and I got a little sun started on my torso...It has been a little while since that thing has seen the sun.

Joe's '56 @ Armando's...

Monday we bailed work early and headed North to San Jacinto to check out the progress on the interior of Joe's Bel-Air. The shop is called Armando's Rod & Customs...Great guys...Super knowledgeable...And they do GREAT work! They had the carpet, the headliner, wood for door panels installed and the seat foam ready on the front seat. So far it was looking awesome...and it's still a work in progress. Super stoked for Joe and all his years of hard work...It's going to be sweet seeing this thing rolling down the street...Can't wait.
