Posted on June 7, 2018January 30, 2020 by Steve Carpenter

07 Jun

Well, tomorrow we load our bags up and head to New Jersey, stopping of in Philadelphia to pick the car up, we head to Wilwood to watch TROG the Race Of Gentlemen, on the beach, just like they did in the 30-thru 60’s, this is a great event and looking forward to it.

Been a long time since I have been to the New Jersey, I think it was way back in 1990 when I met Lance Sorchik of jersey Suede fame and have been itching to head back out to the East side of the states ever since, I have never been to Wildwood and this will be an adventure for Jennifer and me, be great if we could both get early Hand shift Bikes later, we have the Post War model A Roadster but to have the 2 Old racers will be fun too, albeit we both have a Triumph each already. A fun weekend about to start for us and hope we get to meet some of you folk too.

Hope to see some of you there?

Jennifer and I are really looking forward to spectating this year, people come from all over the US to race their Hot Rods and Motorcycles, Flag Start, just like back in the day, what great fun.

I live for Hot Rods and Motorcycles and many like minded folk will be attending, it will be an epic meet and hope to take as many cool photos to share with you lot as I can.

See if you can make it to NEW JERSEY, head to Wilwood, you will smell the Gasoline right away.

Many people will be attending, there will be a party atmosphere and great evening entertainment too.

The weather will be warm, the surf will be crashing in the back ground and watching Hot Rods racing Hot Rods and Motorcycles will be so eventful this weekend.

So, hope you can make it out there, if you can, look out for us and say hi, be great to meet like minded people who share the Nostalgic lifestyle that we live.

Hopefully we can do this on our side of the country one day again as it is such a blast.
Watch these cool 3 stage videos of how Pro BMXer Heath Pinter builds his 8/29 Model A Flathead Powered Roadster and takes to Trog 2017.

How cool watching Girls race their machines and whooping the guys.

All sorts of great looking rides, all different and, thats what I love about Hot Rods.

Three Windows, 5 Windows, Roadsters, Tudors, sedans, Modifieds, Belly tankers lake styles, they will have it all, Flatheads, Bangers you name it.

Just healthy fun taking your ride along the sand in 1/8th mile sprint and see how you do.

So, stay tuned on my website as when I get back I shall Blog all about it, you can also see what I am up to on my Facebook, Carpys Cafe Racers or Carpys Garage and on instagram Carpys garage and will try and live stream a little if I have a signal.

All the fun of the fair in NJ, beach and surf one side and fairgrounds on the other.

Even the Choppers came up from Burbank to make this event.

So, stay tuned and when I get back I will add photos that I took and let you know how it went on the East Side of the Country.

Well, it is that time of year again and the fathers day Roadster show is upon us and this year its hotter than hell, so get in early if you can.

The L. A. Roadsters Car Club was formed in 1957 and is still going strong.

The Club is well known for their beautiful 1936 and older roadsters and their Club uniform of red shirts and white pants.

Just a few little shots right now.

These are some great shots that Brian Brennan of Street Rodder took today.

Below is the Grand National show winner and one of my favorite Hot rods.

All types for everyone one, from old school to high tech.

L. A. Roadster Show

The 2016 Show is scheduled for Saturday, June 18th and Sunday, June 19th.

In 2015, we had another successful show and want to thank all roadsters, specialty cars, swappers, vendors and spectators for their loyalty and support of our show each year.

Our show is always held on Father’s Day Weekend in June of each year at the Fairplex in Pomona, California.

Each year, the L.A. Roadsters put on one of the largest roadster shows, swap meets, and commercial vendor shows in Southern California.

Lots of beautiful roadsters from all over the USA drive to our show and spectators came from all over the world.

I shall be going on Sunday for a look around, I have a long way to go with my Model A but love the thing to bits.

This is one of the best places in the world to experience Hot Rodding at its very best, sat on the far west side of Britain, Pendine Sands in Wales has so much racing history on this infamous beach.

I just had to post some photos I saw and will credit those who took them. the Sidewinders put this annual event on and a lot of work it needs to get to where it is, so when you get a chance, drop them a line than thank them for all their hard work.

These sands have been raced on for many many years, even in 1951 the motorcycles all took part in racing.

SHOP TRUCK

Posted on February 4, 2013January 30, 2020 by Steve Carpenter

04 Feb

Many people email us enquiring about a cool 1928/29 Shop truck, and yes we can sell you the whole ride, or simply parts from the floor to the roof.

This truck is all steel and you have the option of the stock length body, or like our Part getter, you can opt for the 6 inch extended cab.

We sell these all over the United states and always have some in stock in the warehouse at back, you are more than welcome to come and check the quality out, as well as sit in our little truck and feel for yourself what this Cab is all about.

Many of the people that have tried the Model A parts have all called back to say how happy they were with the product and the service that they receive from us.

We strive to improve every day with Customer service and am glad at all the cool feedback that we have been receiving.

We do ship all over the states and I am sure you will have seen us at places like the Roadster show, Fathers Day show and of course at the biggest Hot Rod show in the globe, the Kentucky Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, where we have a big display of all the cool products.

The complete cabs are $9500 plus shipping and these come all assembled and in Red Oxide primer, so you are ready to bolt onto your own chassis.

We have always been here to help you build your own creation, we also supply Brookville in Ohio and Vision Rods in Lula Alabama incase they are nearer to you.

You can always email us at nostalgiaspeedandcycle@mail.com or drop us a dime at 714-744-4597 and we will be more than happy to discuss your needs etc.

We will always help you out the best we can, and I am sure you will be happy with the products, as many of our customers are repeat purchasers.

Be great to hear from you , or- if you are in the Southern California area, come down and see us, we are only about 4 miles East Of Disneyland.

All the freeways are close to us, the 57, the 55 the 91 and the 5 are all within a mile or so of us.

we can supply you with everything you need to build your dream ride and even if you just need a door latch, a set of hinges or just the roof top, we sell it all, firewall, floor, back panels, quarter panels, right up to a complete Cab, the doors are available seperate as a skin or complete and these are the same for the Model T too, so great for the restorers.
