I found this Lowrider Magazine trophy on the corner of Haight and Ashbury in front of the Gap (which closed in 2007) and when David Gonzales’ ‘Homies’ first came out in the early Noughts I spent a small fortune collecting this full set of the 1st edition of them from vending machines in the Mission

The trophy’s original engraved plate had been removed so it was not identifiable.

I’ve wanted to put them together for a loooong time and only managed to do it right before I left for Peru at the end of Jan. 2019.

{It was one of several projects that I finished up before my departure, a hedge against the worst happening to me down there}
