When I was a kid,I used to hang with family friends who used to attend the stock car races in the Seattle area.My old man and his brothers were car and motorcycle builders in Ireland,and continued there passion here.Harry,Ronny&Gordy were known locally and in the old country as the "Lords Of Speed".Naturally I followed there passion to a few "speed weeks"and the likes.I,ve built my 1st car at 16,(67 Mustang fast back,with a crazy powerful 390.Next came my 67 SS Camaro with a built 327.Next was my early 55 chevy P.U. with a complete drive train from a 66 Buick.Flash forward 27 years the kids are raised,and I,ve returned to my 1st love.Bought the Model A from a barn in Minnesota,and completely dismantled it.To much work to list here,(see photos)But to make a long story short,fell in love with that banger motor,and did,nt have the heart to yank her.So in stead built it and have really enjoyed cruising in a more old skool kind of feel.My next project will be building an inline 6 motor for either a 30,s vintage Dodge or Plymouth.There you have it...just an average baby boomer who loves God,Family and cars.See me at :www.insurancesafari.net Happy motoring!!!
