BangShift contributor Scott Liggett crushed his assignment of covering the 2013 Hot Rod Homecoming show at the Pomona Fairplex last weekend. We’ll be sharing photos and mini-features on cars and trucks from the event all week. Scott was texting me all weekend with updates on all of the neato stuff he was seeing. I thought I was going to have to call 911 remotely at one point when he breathlessly told me about being able to touch Grumpy Jenkins’ Vega. I had to instruct Scott to sit for several minutes while breathing into a paper bag to keep him from crashing to the floor like a ton of bricks. Now that this photo has surfaced, we know Scott was out of his mind. The man was trying to get a sneak peek at Grumpy’s mill! We’re thinking Da Grump’s spirit was ready to smite him with a lightning bolt just before he backed away from the scoop!
Thanks a million to Scott for the great photos and coverage. You’ll be seeing it all week! Now it is time for us to break his chops with captions for this photo! You know the drill! CAPTION THIS PHOTO!

“HEY! …. can someone help me find my watch”!!!!!!
I see it BUT I don’t think I can reach it
It dont matter, Its not a real grumpys toy. Toy 10 has been restored with the 74 front end.
MMM. I can still smell race gas.
Hey…… has that thing got a HEMI?
Something is staring back at me!?! I can’t stop looking!
It’s my own fault for handing my camera to Scott Clark, Deiselgeek.
11. “Pinocchio” told one too many fibs about his E.T.s
10. “I love the smell of race gas in the morning . . .”
(Seriously kids, don’t huff inhalants . . . they can kill you)
9. “Mouse? Mouse? I don’t see a mouse!”
8. “That’s a strange place for Larry Lombardo’s autograph”
(Yes, Chevy trivia nerds, Lombardo didn’t take over for the Grump until ’76 . . . but . . . .)
7, “Wow . . . a rust-free Vega! . . . .”
6. “Hey Dieselgeek . . . pull my finger!”
5. “Uh Scott . . . It’s a lift-off hood . . .pins . . . no hood release . . . .
4. “I wonder why it says ‘I hate Gapp and Roush’?”
3. “I think I see nitrous . . . .”
2. Man, that Grump really knew how to deal with “trolls.”
1. Chevys SUCK!
“I could have built this with half the money that Grump spent!”
@#$! This Chevy’s heavier than it looks!
Gahh!! I’m being sucked in to the intake…..
“That Grumpy . . . he coulda made a MINT as a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon . . . .”
“Hookers?” Where? Where?
“Chad I know you don’t want it to end, but you need to come out now, everyone’s going home.”
Finding a lack of suitable females in the area, Scott resorted to desperate measures.
In comes the good air, out goes the bad!!
magic mirror,tell me today,can the grump come out to play?
I don’t hear no damn echo!
You might have to take that one out to dinner first before you peek up her skirt.
Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News.
Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you
