This looks interesting! I might be able to come out and enjoy the afternoon looking at all the cool cars. And a bonus: finally meeting you in person.

I always love to meet our forum members so please to take the ride out to Riverside and come to the show.


From 1:00pm to 2:00pm they are doing a autograph session with all the celebrities, there's usually a really long line anytime Chip Foose is signing autographs and at this show you're going to have, Chip Foose plus Barry Meguiar, Wayne Carini, Von Hot Rod, Rick Dore, John D’Agostino, Mike Brewer and Edd China all in one place at one time signing autographs so if you want their autographs find out where it's going to take place and get in line first.
