I'm partial to the "Rockets", and it's easy to see why.....[ATTACH]
Interesting to note is that Bob Moreira bought the wrecked '57 to drag race. Even after the mods, he still raced it. The factory fuely wasn't as...
Back in the mid 60's I saw this creature sitting on a used car lot in Belmont, Calif. Always loved it, but didn't even ask the price.... At that...
And what a great, Hi-rev'n 327 it is. And his next 327 is even better.... Stay tuned !!
I had a T.C. built by a guy who is probably the most well known in the Treasure Valley near Boise. I asked him at what R.P.M. my converter will...
They don't have to be all purdy to be cool. Pictured was my wife's '36 back in 2001. It sported a 324 Olds and Cad LaSalle sideshift tranny,...
I painted the R&C Dream Truck back in about 1984. I used the basic refrigerator white, a bottle of pearl paste that I had sitting around since the...
And this little critter.....[ATTACH]
It really has.....[ATTACH]
Yes, it really is a "Hot Rod".......
This group of youngsters, around 10-13[ATTACH] years old, did what most hot rod kids would have loved to do. They earned their stripes by crewing...
I had a passion for Custom 300's back in the day. Ran everything from 352's to a 406, which I had in a Ranchwagon. Loved them all !!! Several...
I always liked the top on Leland's '50 Chev Convert. It was built by Winfield, after Leland bought it new in S.F. Notice the Ford W/S.....[ATTACH]
There is a nice (?) '61 Biscayne, maybe a Belair for sale locally. Lemme know if anyone is interested and I'll post pics...
I probably posted before, but they fit the bill......The Almquist Sabre sports a V8-60 and the Healy Special runs a 265 Chevy. And, even though...
Throw some paint on the critter, and watch the information fly......
Seems there is a rod roaming around somewhere with a sign on the dash that reads "position steering to full left before opening door".....
I realize these aren't drawings, but they are definitely "artwork" The details are fabulous, and the howling hot rodders are bitch'n !! These...
My wife ran 2 500cfm 2bbls on a 2x4 manifold with machined adaptors.... Worked great, although the mill was pretty pumped up !! Ak Miller...
I love a good picture that has a little meaning.... I titled this ditty "Like Father Like Son".....or, "I wanna be just like my Dad when I grow...
Okay, it's not a Hollywood Knights jacket, but it has lots of memories tucked into the lining. When Ak Miller, Ray Brock, my wife and I ran the...
Just having too much fun...... The last one is owned by the Smith Brothers, who forced me to run the long course a couple times !![ATTACH]...
I'm going to pretend that my trusty little mill is a 312, i.l.o a 351W, but the outcome is the same. I was tired of erratic numbers on the track,...
Heading to Portland's P.I.R. to vintage road race my V8-60 powered Almquist Saber and being towed by my '66 Lifetime motor home, which was born...
When I put the "El Caballo" together, I was going to use a LaSalle with an R-22 overdrive adapted to the case, but Ak told me to simply use a...
I've had several '55's and '56's, and all had Y-Blocks. Don't knw why, as I love FE's, and have had several '57's, all with FE's..... The...
Very cool to see a 210 'stead of a Bel Air. HRW (Hot Rod Works) makes a very nice kit for installing a T5 tranny, and that makes all the...
Nowadays, cars like the new Bronco go out of their way to make their space age head lights look like the old round ones.... Go figure !!
When you're true to traditional builds, any turn, any straight, up or down, is always a huge adrenalin charged rush, and it never goes away !!!!...
You're lucky in that you still have your first roadster, and can jump in to keep the juices flowing.
