Our second gallery of photos from the Mooneyes Open House is below, along with a link to the first gallery we posted yesterday. Check out all the photos and big thanks to Wes for sending them in!<\/p>\n

(Photos by Wes Allison)<\/strong> The Mooneyes Open House is a SoCal staple and unlike most any other automotive event you are going to find. It\u2019s different because Mooneyes is a MUCH smaller place than you might imagine, and that means that when you are there it feels a bit like you are at a party at someone\u2019s personal shop, rather than a big parts manufacturer. With a band playing out back, parking for just a few cars, but everything pretty much open to explore, you are guaranteed to have some fun while you are there. And it doesn’t matter what you like, from traditional hot rods, customs, gassers, and race cars, to vans and JDM style rides as well, it’s all there.<\/p>\n

The only issue is parking, because WAY more people show up than there are parking spots, so the streets surrounding Mooneyes become packed with cars, trucks, and more, and that’s part of the coolness of this event too. Dean Moon opened this location 60 years ago, and it is pure nostalgia that hasn’t changed much except for the paint job.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s cool to visit, and we appreciate Wes Allison heading out there to shoot photos for us. We\u2019ve got three galleries to share, and as always you can click on any photo to make it bigger and to scroll through the slide show.<\/p>\n
