G'day all I am Neil from Perth Western Australia and I will be combine to San Francisco in January I was wondering if there is any rod or custom car shows at this time ?
A bit about me I am currently building my 1959 Chevy El Camino and have built some other Australian cars in the past I love the rat rod scene and that is my plan for my next build but will have to build the girl friends mk2 Zephyr first.
So I'm interested in all types of old cars and keen to see what's in San Francisco.

Unfortunetly the SF Rod and Custom show bit the dust a few years ago, and the Grand Nationals the best ever show in my opinion has moved down south after 50+ years in Oakland across the bay from SF. It's now in LA, I HIGHLY recommend you get to that one.

Brian WELCOME!:thumbup:

In SF there are a lot of non car related stuff that you MUST do in a trip there. One is walking out on the Golden Gate bridge, it's easy, there is a parking lot right there next to the toll booths and the best part, it's free.

Northbeach is a GREAT place to walk around 120 year old Italian neighborhood full of wonderful restaurants, an amazing church, park it is really a great place to hang out and it's not touristy, it's the real thing.

Take a walk right there up to Coit tower, it's only a couple of bucks to go up to the top for a spectacular view.

If you want a list of things to do let me know.

Brian
