Here's the super cool video from last years' show... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bBg9egBAmO8 I'm hoping to have my Thunderbird back on the road in time for Oasis. I pulled the motor and spent the last couple of months rebuilding it. I just have to paint the engine compartment and drop it back in there and it should all be good again... Also, we've been talking with Otto, Baby Doe, and Maitai and The Hula Girls will be at the car show on Saturday with two shows at 11 and 2! Pin-up models and hula-a-go-go dancers, Miss Dinah DeRosa and Miss Judy Luck, will be dancing with us! Who else is bringing a car? http://www.tikioasis.com/2011/carshow/

Not unless San Diego is all down-hill from my garage... Still needs a motor and transmission..... and, uh, seats.

If I can find my one and only snapshot of it I'll post it later. Unfortunately he lost the truck in a devastating home fire that destroyed all, including his garage and everything in it :(

TS Tiki Slob Member Tiki Torrance, CA Joined: Mar 17, 2011 Posts: 96	TS Tiki Slob Posted posted on Mon, May 16, 2011 4:27 PM I have a Tbird named Tiki Bird. I have to get the brakes fixed first. I will try to make the date. Right now August is iffy since I am still going to be on work travel off and on during that month. I've been dyin' to take her on a road trip. That gold engine, by the way, looks great! TS Chop'em, drop'em and cruise'em. It ain't cool if they don't drool! [ Edited by: Tiki Slob 2011-05-16 16:28 ]

I don't think I've seen that one at any shows before! I get stoked when I see other Thunderbirds out there. They seem fairly rare. I'm going a mild custom route with mine. Ditched the bumper guard. Shaved the body and the door handles. Custom grill and custom pipes.... But I still LOVE how they look stock and very clean. Cool Bird! Hope to see it at the car show!

Aloha John, Rob Bennett from The Lifters C.C., and I have been rounding up cars, especially ones that tie in with a tiki theme, or a "Let's spend the weekend in Baja" theme, or both. This year's car show should not disappoint! Spike, hurry up and get that engine finished. Looking good so far!

Vintage vans, wagons, and trailers, you're gonna see 'em at this year's Tiki Oasis Car Show! Along with some traditional old school hot rods, vintage iron, and cool customs! I'll post more pictures in the next week or two, because, hey, I'm dickin' around out in Palm Springs right now. Until then, let me entice you with a pic or two of a car that I almost got signed up for this year: Tiki Warrior, the one that got away. Stay tuned for more pics of cars for the Third Annual Tiki Oasis Car Show!

Here is Marions wagon and my Galaxie 500, hoping to have more "period correct" wheels on hers before Oasis. We bought it with the 17's on it, but it will get bags and 15's eventually.

I dig'em either way. I have a '51 Ford Victoria called Icky Vicky that is almost on the road. She is taking all my free time right now so TB's brakes and other things have been ignored. Too many irons in the fire. I, of course, lean toward Kustom as Icky Vicky will be a Barris style kind of thing. Icky is going to get the Hula Girl reference to go along with Tiki Bird. My younger son is interested in the bird so he and I will have to decide stock or Kustom. Mamma on the other hand digs the bird stock. So we will see. At this point it doesn't look good for the show. Brakes not fixed yet and lots of business travel still. We might make the Belmont Shore show in Long Beach though. Will have to wait until the very LAST minute to decide about the Oasis show. This business travel on-again-off-again thing sucks. BUT...we Tbird folks gotta hook up somewhere. See ya...TS

I'm diggin' the Tbird representation myself. My younger son is not a Tikiphile (yet) but he is very interested in fixing up Tiki Bird with me so he will eventually get the bug. Hey...a few Mai Tais and a hula chick or two...he'll come around to seeing things Pop's way, ya know? Tbirds are cool. TS

Hey TikiYaki, I used to paint all kinds of vans like yours during the '70s van craze. I just can't get enough of that style. The movement was quite the party in my neck of the woods (Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Gardena). Glad to see you're keeping the tiki torch lit! TS

I gotta introduce my wife to your wife so they can discuss T-bird styling. That is a bitchen square bird. Mamma wants it stock but I keep telling her how the '62 would look so cool low slung like that. I know what you mean about bringin' the other cars. My car is a '51 Ford Vicky and my older son and I built a 60s custom Valiant wagon. What I wouldn't give to have them all on the road at the same time going to the Oasis! The Vicky is still gettin' a heart transplant and my older son is too busy with other things to come out and play. TS

I can totally relate to being the only 'Bird at car shows... You should totally go custom with it. I shaved my door handles, antenna, and most of the badging. Up next are bags and paint, but recently I've been doing a lot of repairs to just keep the damn thing rolling.... By the way, I love Ford Vickies! Super cool!

I'd dig the Kustom thing for it, no doubt. I am doing the full Barris Kustom treatment on Icky Vicky so I will fer sher get my yayas on that one. But mamma and my youngest son have a lot of say in Tiki Bird. We will see. I am doing the same with keeping it running. Slowly she is coming up to speed. The car that is. Mamma still has a ways to go in fully appreciating Kustom. At least she digs Tiki so I am way ahead in the game there. TS

L Luckydesigns Tiki Socialite Costa Mesa Joined: Sep 15, 2002 Posts: 2374	L Luckydesigns Posted posted on Fri, Aug 26, 2011 4:30 PM Haha, I took that picture about three years ago at a motorcycle/ car show. My T-Bird was parked next to the Econoline. I had no idea back then, that I'd ever be buying that guy's truck... Crazy, right?? But if you're still interested, the bike is probably an early '60s BSA or Triumph. The guy had really good taste in motorcycles.
