2ND ANNUAL BLESSING OF THE RODS / HOT ROD & CUSTOM CAR SHOW



The Hell City Saints Car Club (Phoenix) DO IT AGAIN!!!!

The much aniticipated 'Blessing 2 show delivered in every aspect of any good hot rod party/show. CARS...as you will see there were plenty of bad-ass rides; BEER & FOOD...PBR tallboys on the cheap and I heard the burritos were killer; MUSIC...Good DJs and great bands played continuously all day and night; A KOOL CROWD...the atmosphere was one of camaraderie; I counted at least six clubs present. It was a like-minded crowd celebrating their scene and people new to it certainly walked away with an appreciation of the Valley's car kulture.
I arrived just around the start time. I wanted photograph the cars before light faded...get it done...and get to the business of drinking and hanging out with friends.

Thanks 'Saints for a killer show!
