Church of Hot Rod II - Congregation’s Growing!
September 14, 2008 by pikesan · 2 Comments
Ah brothers… It was another fine couple-o-Sundays. Cool morning air and hot coffee strong enough to peel paint off our vintage rides. After notifying a few people at the Chandler/Gilbert Community college car show, I expected there to be a few more members. I’ve also been fulfilling my duties as an elder in the church by notifying RoddinandRacinTV.com and cruisinarizona.com.
If you’re looking for a great excuse to get out of bed and meet some fellow rod and custom car enthusiast over on the East side of town on Sundays, please come on over.
Time and Place: Every Sunday morning at 7 AM over at the Starbucks in downtown Chandler. The address is: 1 San Marcos Place, just west of Arizona Ave, south of Chandler Blvd. We’re kinda hard to miss, just look for the Hot rods! Can I hear an AMEN?
For winter (yea right, it’s still in the 80s in November!) we’re meeting at 8:00AM. Feel free to email if you want to make sure we’re meeting: churchofhotrod @ myrideisme.com

Tony and Sammy's rides. The sky wasn't quite that instersting to start. Dig our police escort!
The elders. Smokey's becoming a regular with his tight 40 Ford, but it may be sold...
Darren and his road ready and clean deuce are Sunday regulars and he doesn't even like coffee!
Church of Hot Rod - Sunday Cruise
August 24, 2008 by pikesan · 5 Comments
Whatever you do on Sunday, it’s always a great to meet friends and go for a drive. We’re pushing it here in Chandler, Arizona cause it’s still damn hot, even at 8 AM in the morning.
This was a special Sunday cause our better halves joined the normal Sunday coffee run and we made it a breakfast cruise over to the Good Egg near Chandler Heights and Alma School. We had some special occasions to celebrate too.
Bonnie, my hot rod, was celebrating the repair of a CRACKED FRAME, found, luckily while the car was parked in my garage. Doug from Squeeg’s Kustom, helped me fix the crack on Saturday and make today’s breakfast 5 roadsters strong. More on that later. (of course I took pictures!) I celebrated the cruise-in by putting a new red rag on the oil breather. (nothin but the Sunday’s best!) My lovely wife Miyuki also joined in and let me comb her hair at 50 ripping down the road. (I was the only topless roadster)
Then, Sammy was celebrating the purchase of his roadster. Its an all steel 29 roadster that’s sits just right and has many very well done finishing touches, like the polished quick change rear axle out back. Sammy and his wife Cassie cruised in from Mesa to join us.
Be sure that women cruise too. Melissa, Doug’s wife and co-founder of the brand, Hot Brods custom hot rod apparel for women, cruised her own flawless black deuce roadster.
Finally, Tony and his wife Andrea made the trip in their killer orange deuce show here with Sammy’s new ride.
Good friends, good breakfast and a perfect excuse to stretch the road legs. I loaded the best of the pics I took into a MyRideisMe.com gallery. Check out the pics from the Church of Hot Rod here.
UPDATE: 9-13-08: Want to join in? Sunday morning at 7 AM over at the Starbucks in downtown Chandler. The address is: 1 San Marcos Place” just off Arizona Ave, south of Chandler Blvd. Or, just look for the Hot rods!
Friday Night Cruise-in - Chandler, AZ
May 6, 2008 by pikesan · 4 Comments
It takes a while for a cruise in to catch on, but that doesn’t mean while it’s growing you won’t see some super nice cars. Plus, when it’s new, you won’t hear the old… “Hey, I’m saving that spot…” or “This is for XYZ cars only…” Whatever.
So here’s a few of the cars I’ve spotted at the Friday night cruise-in at Arizona Ave. and Ocotillo. It gets started at about 6PM or so and runs until about 9:00. I think it’s sponsored by the Checker Auto nearby, so they supply a DJ and once a month there’s a bouncer for the kids.
I’d have a few more pics if I could ever get there earlier! Me (aka shaky) and poor lighting don’t get along well at all.
What I should be sharing with all these pics is who owns the cars and where there from… or something interesting like how the car is completely homebuilt with only a screwdriver and duct tape.
Too bad I can’t read my able assistants hand writing is so hard to readl!
I hope to see you down there. Make sure when you see your ride here, join up with the other AZ hot rodders already members here at MyRideisMe.com. It’s all free and we’ve got enough parking for everyone!
