Good People and the Adventures to Come

Just wanted to send some good wishes out to my buddy Jeffrey and his wife Davina who are expecting their first... I hear the "hot rod fund" has already started! :)

The pictures were taken by Sassyfras to capture the moment. Pretty cool!

Almost time! Good luck to you both!

And Jeffrey... Don't forget to breathe! LOL!

Peek at real progress

Things have been rediculous here. I've never been so busy in my entire life! I guess busy is better than bored, but GEESH!! How about a break, already! HAHA!

The month of May has been the worst, but a dabble of work on the car here and there has been possible. I have the primer for all the parts, the black "Emron" type black paint for the suspension and drive train components, and have the color picked out for the car and will be ordering it very soon. So mostly I've been prepping parts for paint. You never really know how many parts a car has until you have to handle every single piece, and sand/prep every single inch of each piece! WOW! Takes FOR-EV-ERRR...

Making cap adapter for the fuel tank...




Machined a little off the back of the Wide-5 adapter wheel studs...



Steering column is just about ready for paint also...



More to share, but not really worth taking pictures. More updates on the car soon!

Cycle Cars!

Awesome! Looks like fun to me!

Aerocraftsman... Final installment!

Okay, this is the last of what I would like to share, but mostly I just would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to Mark Lightsey, at Aerocraftsman for taking the time out of his busy day to show us around and show us what a REAL roadster is all about!

If any of my readers are interested in having work done on your vintage aircraft or are thinking that a replica vintage aircraft might be in-store for you, check out the Aerocraftsman team and give them a shout!

Thanks Mark!

Bass Coupe 2.0

Brian Bass has been hard at work on his '29 Model A Coupe. After tons of sheetmetal work and recovering from a broken valve in the 331, this is how it sits. AWESOME! Great work Brian! This is exactly the type of stuff I want to see on a Friday before jamming in the shop! Trully inspirational!

Porsche 904 - Suffer with me!

I don't know how I start thinking about stuff like this, but I ran across a photo I had a of a 1964 Porsche 904 and it triggered the whole obsession with 904's all over again. It will pass, but in the mean time I thought I would make you suffer right along with me. These damn cars are amazing!

Reminder to self: No European sports cars... YET! HA!

Hey! A guy can drool and dream, right?















Right-hand drive... Let's go for a ride!
