Hey Cactus I'm heading out to the garage to pile some stuff on the hotrod for a couple of weeks and when I take it off it will look like new again...thats amazing...
After my dad did his time in Vietnam (1966) my parents got married. A year later they moved to Japan where he was stationed. These were their cars in Japan.

Ryan, you posted that more than 10 years ago. I asked my sign painter pal about painting that Wolfshead sign close to 15 years ago.
this was supposedly the tow truck with some kind of hook thingie at the second 1925 shop.....and the last shop before he died about 1957....the 35 Chevy standard coupe in the back ground was my great grandfather's and was turned into a racer with a big GMC - ran by Dick and the Thunderbolts.....and you've seen my uncle's roadster in front...
I'm enjoying this thread. Keep the photos and stories coming. I have a lot of old pictures of the wife and kids. Not so many of the other family members. So I'll bump this with another of the wife. This was a little van I got her, With the intentions of putting a v/8 in it later. But that never happened. Probably a good thing. lol The peace sign is an old sticker that is on the old photo.

I posted this on the sedan delivery thread - but it's a great snapshot. This is my Dad's '37 Chevy taken back around 1972. I'm on the hood and my brother and sister are on the lights. He later put in a 327/4speed and a '57 chevy rear - would like to have one like it.
I guess we are bikers...My Grandfather Frank on his '16 Harley above and his brother Lawrence with his '11?Wagner...
I've posted this picture a number of times on different threads, still one of my favorite photos. Was taken about 1963 in Gibralter Michigan, with my sister and myself. It's my Dad's 35 standard Chevy coupe that had a 322 nailhead buick, lasalle trans, and 34 ford front axle and wishbones. He picked the car up from an old guy in town who hit something with it and bent up the front frame horn. someone came by one day and offered hit what was alot of money for the car at the time, that was the last he saw of it. It's the one car he would have liked to keep.

dad built this truck in the side yard to be his daily driver/work truck. dump body, plow and a shiny coat of red.
My Dad and I and our '39 Plymouth sometime around 1983. I was never tall enough to reach that engine.
My dad built this Jeep in the late 40's and it got passed down through all of my brothers ( I am the youngest). That's me behind the wheel. It had a Army surplus hydraulic WW2 gun turret drive for a transmission and A 3 horse Clinton engine. The dash cluster was from a 28 Chevy. I put many miles on that thing.
