Vintage Wiring source

While looking around for replacement dash lights, I ran across a place called "the Brillman Company" that sells a bunch of neat vintage wiring components like switches, braided ignition and primary wire, raja clips, spark plug adapters, wire holders and looms, lighting, etc. Thought maybe this might help someone. Neat stuff and their prices are very reasonable. Click the name below to get connected...

Random thoughts...

Still trying to get refocused on the build after the little "Hemi set-back". Random pictures just flying through my head right now. Some helpful, most are not...

Dee Wescott, 1927-2009

Well as time goes on, we seem to lose more and more people that have made their mark in hot rodding. Dee Wescott left is mark with Wescott Auto Restyling and a whole line of beutiful, early Ford fiberglass bodies, replacement panels, and parts of which people have been building hot rods from since the 50's.

The community will miss him but will always remember. If you would like to read a neat timeline about Dee Wescott, as written by Karl Wescott, you may do so by clicking here--> Dee Wescott, 1927 to 2009

The best to the Wescott family and friends.

Tech Illustrations

Tech illustrations of various mechanical assemblies remain to be art work in my eyes. I'm sure those of you with board drafting experience can agree and fully understand what it takes to do illustrations like these. Beautiful!

Of COURSE I have to start with the Chrysler FirePower
