The Annual Whip Restaurant and Gallery's Show n Shine was the largest to date, with over 500 viewers or music, metal and polish. My first show was a great way to be introduced into the car culture and the local fun to be had in the East Vancouver district of Mount Pleasant. With over 30 vehicles, Motor Bikes and even Bicycles, The Whip has really taking a fast lane to what can be cleanly stated as the best local, if not the only dynamic show n shine in the Vancouver region. Not without it's dents and scratches of it's own as the previous years were shrouded in rain and poor weather with a few die hard fans and participants making the brave cut to stage and pavement. If there was ever a good reason to spend so much of ones time and money into a passion so grand as restoration or vintage culture, the Whip makes sure to remind us, every year, rain or shine:)
A as good as it gets walk through restoration of one 1962.5 Acadian Invader wagon purchased in 2003. Having no history other then family in my hometown of Winnipeg to email question to, and source out all of my local shops and skilled vintage workers, combined with my passion to keep a rare metal wagon in shape and modern enough devices to make it safe in the crazy roads of the lower mainland, this has been one slow but fun project.
