Garage Crawl 1999

For Rodders winter is traditionally the time for rodders to catch up on maintenance of their rods, so what better time to see what’s going on in the garage than the middle of winter. But most of the rods under construction featured here certainly won’t be turning a wheel in anger next season.

An invitation was extended to the Eastern Valley Rodders, which saw 5 cars and their families join the tour. This was after a similar earlier event where the Bay Rodders went spent a day crusin the Valley.

As is normal for all Bay Rodders events, we were blessed with a beautiful, but cool, sunny day. The crawl took on the appearance of a mini run between garages and we certainly had plenty of people stopping to admire the cars. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday.

Thanks to all the guys who opened their garages for the day, all the girls and boys for a beautiful lunch and the guys from Eastern Valley for coming down for the day.
