It's Honeymoon time for the newlyweds. Can anyone guess what city they're in?
Welcome to the ACES SoCal blog. We still have the website going with lots of old photos and updated information on events and meetings. But this blog is a place for active members friends of the club and people of interest to post current info and updates of their builds. Check it out.

DRIVING MISS DAISY
Good Ol Bob scored himself a sweet single owner 1951 Hudson Super 6. With 43,000 original miles this old gal runs and drives like a dream. Have a look at some of the pics supplied by the man himself. My only question is "Where's the plaque gonna go?" I guess we'll just have to wait for that photo next!

Wedding Bells
I am so proud to announce that I am happily married to the most rockin girl I've ever met. Another great wife addition to the ACES. Thank You Mickey and Sherri for bringing out the '34 Plymouth for our photo shoot. Also a big thanks to the club chaplain Brian Bent for hitching us up in the eyes of The Lord. We wish we could have had all of the ACES members in attendance but our small scale location just wouldn't allow it. We missed you all.

Another Runner In The Club
I'm very proud to say that I've finally got one of my projects on the road and driving. Want to give a big thanks out to the ACES Club members and some of their significant others for all pitching in to help out during the different phases. I didn't do a very good job of documenting the build but here are some pics from early to now. The tub is a '27 Ford touring car cut down to a 2-seater that came from Sammy. The chassis was a rolling pile of crap I found on Craigslist that required extensive weld grinding and rework. It also had a rat rod suicide perch that just had to get cut off and replaced.
The drive-train came straight from a 1965 Impala I found in Los Angeles with Mickey. A classic 327 with a powerglide linked up on the rear. So far the mill is proving to be reliable aside from a leaking gasket at the rear of the intake manifold. The Firestone Bias Ply's seem to be rolling and stopping straight as well. The only thing it's missing now is some seats and a windshield. To be continued...
