"Digger"

Bit more Art

God love's a Harley and....

Digger

A quick rendition of a "Digger"

"Under the Knife"

After 45 years the flairs come off.. Dad was going for the road race stock car look back in the day.. I like the look but the metal need to be shifted and finding larger tires like dad had was becoming a pipe dream... So I'm going back to My favorite look and Dad's second choice... "GASSER"

'46 3-T

Grandpa bought the "Easter Egg" around 1950 from his buddy Gordy Williams a flat track team owner.. she was set up as a cow trailer.. Dirt bike for you young kids.. Original lacquer paint on the mustang tank and bobbed rear fender ...

Grandpa wrenched and pitted for the team.. pictured on the far right...

I think I rode more miles sitting still on this thing as a lil' Kid than any of my bike's as an adult.. She was a great Hobby Horse...

The picture of me and the "T" was taken around '90 the week after Gp's funeral.. the bike had not been run since the late 50's.. replace the oil pump cleaned the tank and carb.. third kick she started.. threw air in the original tire adjusted the clutch and rode it to my Dads house and back 3 miles away... Should have seen the OL' mans face...

I "Need" one !

'56 GMC Crew

Here are a few more details on my '56 GMC Napco 4X4.. Gm at the time had no factory 4x4's or crew cabs .. so this one is up-fitted on both accounts... She was originally a Railroad service flatbed later used as a race car hauler out of Saugus Race track.. The coach work is all oak done back in the day...

Yes she runs .. the front end is in the garage being gone thru if I stop getting distracted ...

The IH fire truck is about how I'd like to see the Crew sit...

Filler C-3

Hailbrand style filler for the Vic...

Sami

My Lil' Service cart that I ran around the pad with went "tits-up".. sooo a friend gave me this thing Dead. Seems like a theme huh ?.. Carb was junk replacement five bills ( $500).. Worked on Webers, Quadrajet's, Thermoquads ... I wanted no part of this Japanese 1-barrel puzzle ...

So off to Ebay.. found a set of Dellorto's and manifold cheap... 

The little dude could use some more tuning and a header but boy it runs!.. what a kick !... Sure as Hell could use a roll bar....

C-3 Aluminum Work

It's been kill'n me but I'm finally making head way on the fire wall and cockpit.. Been working on my gas welding of the aluminum for the tranny hump .. finally pulled the trigger and just did it ... Need to finish fitting the tunnel and trim and bead the rear panels...

One's I shouldn't have passed on !

I'm good with Irish Guilt..but here are a couple that still bug me...

The lil' bucket doesn't look like much but the fabrication detail was Killer.. The Str8Rdstr was built by a pro shop and up close it looked it.. probably had four times the billable hours over the asking price... Dump a couple projects and have fun instead of always trying to build my own .. no washing , no waxing no car cover...  Man am I a wussy letting it get away....

I still love the idea of throwing on the goggles grab a buddy and go driving or to a car show.. bit of deep green on the block and I'd been a happy cat... + who doesn't a Buick straight 8 ...Coool....

Z06.. Speaks for it's self ... plus the price was right...

Professor Fate goes back .. God I hate to say 20 years .. had the money, but not the faith....

24 Eyed Monster

Well I did add art to the Intro.. so here is a piece my lil' guy drew a couple years ago (age5)  and I colored ... Still love his drawing of this critter...

More J-4

Bit more on the J-4

Garage

It's a mess.. but what the hell...

Lasest Folly!!!

Well I pushed the limits of sanity and instead of dumping projects I added to the pile...

 

I've had my eye on one of these J-4's for years and keep missing out.. This time the price was right and I was first to jump on it.. I'm sure your thinking  "He's Nuts" but there pretty slick and yes I am nuts ...

This one is an early Corvette chassis set up for a Cadillac mill.. Roof line sits at 38"  at ride height .. Man is it a trick to get in .....

The guy I got it from has had it for close to 30 years and the guy who built it said it ran at Bonneville back in the day...

And no..That pretty Caddie ain't mine.. For illustration purposes only !

Coolest lady of Auto Sports !

You have to have a beautiful lady if you are going to have a Iron Blog.. That and she is real cool....

My Daily Rides...

The 58' GMC Napco 336v8 4x4 at my buddy Dan's gas station..and with her new skinny shoes and rack...

Also the 66'425 Toronado.. Almost as long as my friends long bed crew cab Ford.

Historic Ramp Truck

Well if I ever get a car done to haul.. I can do it in period style. that is if I can get the truck together...

The ramp truck was used to haul Fred Teixeira Willies/ Vette out of Bakersfield in starting 1969'

The best part.. It has a newly reupholstered seat.. yeah the "Boss" didn't buy it either...
