Aerocraftsman Adventure - Part 1

Stay tuned! I have a bunch of pictures to share from our visit to Aerocraftsman, over the weekend! High flying adventures from Flabob Airport!

Cool Pic!

My little sis', Brandy, posted this picture and I just thought it was amazing. Picture was taken by Rob Eccleston. Very cool!

Forking Around

Ever wonder how to get to the underside of your Model A body? Here's how I did it... :)

Thanks for Everyone's Support!

100th follower joined up! Just wanted to say thanks! Check out... The Magnetic Brain! Tons of cool pictures of vintage racing and some other neat stuff!

Thanks for everyone's support! Even though I'm not really concerned about how many followers I actually have, I'm just pleased to know that there are like-minded people out there that actually dig the time I put into the blog.

Cheers to all of you!

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!

BASS KUSTOM

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!

Jet Powered!

I need one of these! :)

Grille Shell Progress

Been chipping away at this '32 grille shell for quite some time now. First it was chopped but just tacked, then I used a genie '32 Ford shell to transfer the crank hole, then peaked it, then went back and finished stripping it and worked on the chop seams. Few more things to clean up, then final prep before primer.

Daily Plymouth

Was down in Seal Beach one day messing around with the new camera and ran across this sweet Plymouth. The owner also owns the 4-door Hudson in the background. The Plymouth is his daily driver. Good to see people drivin' their cars instead of leaving them in the garage until the weekend! Much respect!

Old Tools RULE!

Some really good friends of mine just happen to have an old Bridgeport J-head sitting around collecting dust and offered to bring it down from storage so it could get some use. WOW! Love old tools! Especially old machining tools! It's a 1957 J-head Bridgeport and it apparently started life out in a coin mint! I feel very fortunate to have it in my possesion! Going to restore it the best I can and get it dialed in.

Down side: TOOLING! UHG! Pretty much have to start from scratch. Not to mention, it's been a very long time since I've used a mill for anything purposeful!

Good news though... Going to start working on some of the "Whatchaworks" ideas that will be eventually extended to you folks. So stay tuned!

Thanks Andrew and Dave Brudnicki!

New Picture Taking Device

Finally! The investment just HAD to be made! Pentax K-7 with an 18-55 and we already happen to have a Pentax film SLR that had a nice 28-300 AF lens. Gonna' be a blast!

Sweet Bottle Opener from Pfeifer Studio

Ran across these bottle openers on another blog site/online store that my Sis is associated with. Super cool! I would have a hard time choosing which one to get though! Could actually use the hammer as well as open bottles probably! HAHA! I like that!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
