been into cars since the age of 14.when i watched the movie thunder road with robert mitchum.he drove a 50 ford sedan and a 57 fairlane 2 dr hardtop running whiskey.i was hooked,on rodding that is.since the rich have priced our hobby to the moon,i started into traditional rodding.i love the big cad motors and the 455 olds.torque rules the street and besides the 1970 buick gs being the fastest muscle car of all time.these car engines rule especially when put into light bodies.my current project is a 2 wheel dr 47 willys pickup which by the way is going to look like a 60's gasser style.scout 11 front tube axle used but sound running 425 cad for power while i build the cad 500 motor i have, and turbo 400 with a 9in ford posi.it will be black and flamed.so far i have done all the work myself which has included extensive metal replacement.i never get tired of hotrod or jeeps or customs.my other rides include a 1981 chev caprice coupe powered by a 461 olds, built t-400 and a 1960 willys wagon 4x4 little monster truck.well keep the top up and have fun
