I think that's the only buggy I've ever seen that could pull a 3,000 on the ramp test index. That thing is nuts!

My Dad bought one of those at an auction. It was made out of a '29 Buick. He bought it for parts for his original '26 Buick. It turned out he couldn't use much, but he did get some hard to find little parts. Here's his '26 the way it sits now......

I fired up my truck the other day for the first time in about 10 months. My 11 year old daughter had a big ear to ear grin and was telling me to rev it up for her! It's very cool when they get a kick out of it too. Cool car by the way.

I bought a car trailer at an auction for $250. After completely redoing the trailer, I traded it for a '93 Ford 1 ton diesel pick up. It used to be a cab a chassis, but after a few trips to the scrap yard, it's a pick up truck. After owning MANY other trucks from the big three, this is the...

Ummmm, that's a '71 in the picture.

Oh, I know all about Front Street and Sunrise Ave. Been there done that! Back when JFK stadium was still there. That's the parking lot where we'd all meet. I had a friend with a 427, '71 Chevelle. There was another guy that towed his '67 Nova named "Casper" (white full on drag car) with his big...

I admit, it's been about 12 or 15 years. [S The older I get, the harder it is to remember. I was only there to visit a friend, so I didn't stay long. I just remember I was happy to leave at the time. Good to hear it's a decent place.

I've been to Prospect Park. Not exactly the an outstanding neighborhood when I was there. I kept reaching in to my inside jacket pocket, if you know what I mean.

Thanks. It turned out pretty decent. I took it on the 1999 Hotrod Power Tour and melted the trans on the way to the fourth stop. :mad: I didn't like it much when I was rebuilding the trans curbside.

I've had a bunch of cars over the years. (a little over 80 at last count) I have my favorite, a 1968 Chevelle. This has been the elusive "Unicorn" that Nick Cage spoke of in "Gone in 60 seconds". For whatever reason, my whole life I always wanted one, but could never lay my hands on one. I...

Small blocks are , ....well, .......small. Besides, everyone has one. Sufficient to me is a 454 with at least .520 lift cam, performance intake, headers and a Holley. Then you put that through a Th400 with a B&M trans pak and 2500 stahl. Finish it up with 3.73 gears for the street, and you...

I can build all the servos and actuators from scratch, my Dad can build the electronics. Everything else is "basic" fab work. Two power plants. One turbine engine and one internal combustion engine to cruise with. I should be able to get it done for under $50K. (I think/hope)

Yes, I'm afraid it's true. Oddly enough, you're not the first person to tell me that.

Yes, but only ONE convertible. While that car IS red, I don't believe this is it.

Close, it's a '56. Thanks! That bike is sweet! I love the stance and the lines. You did an awesome job.
