I sure don't think that was him, at least not since i knew him.
His Harley shop might have had something to do with that. He had one outside of town for a while, then moved it into Zanesville in the 80s. At...
I can handle people being angry that he had so many animals, but he was a bit of a dare devil, drag racer, you name it even before Nam. Nam...
Figured word of this would be on here, and had to check. I'll be there, hoping to buy an old basketcase sportster to look at for a few years and...
Almost forgot. Oldsmobile made a 37mm automatic cannon for the noses of P39 airacobras(and maybe the P39s themselves) . PT boat crews started...
My kids at school are always amazed by the Cadillac tank ads I have. The list of manufacturers of weaponry and equipment is long and often...
I have a 4 CD set that has a radio commercial for Green Valley Raceway.
What do you think I'm doing? Grow up? Responsibility??? Been in this role 5 years, pal. I busted my ass since I was 12 to get enough...
I really don't have my mind made up at all, all options would make me somewhat happy. I think a car would be good for the kids someday, but so...
True. It also "costs to be cool," as the dude Imentioned above used to say. I could see the wife being pissed if whatever I kept starting eating...
Man, tough call. I have no idea what my dream car would be, and I am afraid if I sell out both of them, I might not be back. Responsibility has...
I've been a HAMBer 10 years now, and a bunch has changed since I was a dumbass college kid piddling with a 50 Pontiac 4 door. Wife, kids,...
Off topic to this post, I guess, but someone mentioned flat-bottomed drag boat racing. Good friend of my dad still holds records in a class or...
Check yer PMs.
Only woman the Impala ever got me was my wife, simply because her twin boys loved it. I'm not sure I have ever met a girl my age that gave two...
Dude needed throttled. As far as asses being saved, a local younger type (but older than me) was playing his music loud, etc., when this old...
Man, there was a heck of a post a few years ago about that exhibition where the car got stupid and folks got hurt. That being said, Chi-Town...
Zombie's missing face. I think once painted and blackwashed and rubbed back, it's going to be pretty amazing.
Man it's been a long time. I sculpted these last summer and cast the first ones in metal in August. These are the polished castings, they will...
I ran black steelies on my Impala with thin whites for a long time. Bitchin wheel and tire combo for a 60s car, and it'll fly well on a 50s car,...
I think the slotted Astros were pretty common here in Ohio, too. My dad and a buddy of his didn't have much good to say about me choosing "astros"...
Working on a little project so's I can revisit, revise, and improve upon one of my early designs. What I need is to borrow a 1960s-early 70s drag...
55? What 55? Oh wait...
If yer talkin about one of those NEWLY made semi-auto M1A1 Thompsons from Auto-Ordnance, what I'd do is sneak it into a junk yard and put it under...
The twin nacelle that was nearly extinct MIGHT be the P-61. There are none in flying condition, and about three left in the US. Have read of...
Denatured alcohol lifts permanent marker pretty well. I think the hair spray trick works because of the alcohol in it, to be honest.
HAHAAHA. Kinda stroke a chord with me... My Impala's got a Saginaw 4 speed because I'm broke, the junk-assed 327 I bought years ago that is still...
Seriously one of the coolest things I have seen done. I don't see a single thing I'm not in love with.
Well, we had a rough weekend, on me mostly, bleeding I guess is normal in a miscarriage, but it's damned unsettling. Went to the ER last night for...
Man, a 60 Pontiac... that car is somethin...
