Just another quickee.... This photo is of my Grandparents, back in the day !!![ATTACH]
Just a couple pics from about 27 years ago. I helped Marion Wilhelm deal with Joe's estate, including vehicles... The Mist had been in storage...
I saw, and loved both those trucks, but the one that really turned my crank was the '27 that was white pearl with candy red shading......
Very nice hot rod.... Nice color, nice stance. My only druther would be a set of block hugger headers or manifolds, but that's just me.....
This puppy has a new home !!!
Speaking of different, this is the little gauge panel in the Crosley/almquist that I vintage raced for several years..... It is the stock 1951...
With help from my bud's Nick and Ken Smith, I put together this dash panel... I wanted it to work like new, but look like old. It's actually an...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] This should be a very cool project..... Needless to say, I am in to gassers of any era, and have been instrumental in the...
My '30, chopped in the very early 50's, and had a flattie..... It's in the classifieds...[ATTACH]
Damn, and I just found a '59 Custom 300 2-dr that I snagged for a song. Been sitting for a while, but that's okay. Has new "stock" cloth interior....
Okay, ya gotta take the good with the bad. Watson hit the mark with LeFevre's '59 El Camino, and it's what inspired me to paint my '58 Fairlane...
Did the same lowering on my wife's '55. Also a healthy Y-Block/4-spd.....[ATTACH]
This Cad is timeless when you cross Kustom/Klassic/Killer Smoothness !!! I keep telling people that sometimes when you look at what seems to be...
I've been driving this puppy around for about 10 years, but it's time to let it go. I've had people ask when I'm going to paint it. I answer it...

What a great gasser !!! Any mill would work, but an old hemi would be the cat's growl.... This could be a street/strip cruizer that would...
I reckon this picture of my Model A says it all. That "get the hot rod outa storage and freshen the fluids" just does not apply.[ATTACH]
Hey, back the truck up !!! That "only 185hp" put the fear of God in many a Chevy and Ford owner. There were probably more "Mom and Dad" cars on...
My buddies and I used to go every year, and since I was the one interested in selling stuff, I got to watch the booth. We were always in the Expo,...
I find this coupe fascinating, and the pics are from a magazine in 1953 !!![ATTACH]
