spyder man!!!!!!!


I just love this Porsche, the lines, the sound, the history. Yes that very, very rare 1950's Porsche called the 550 spyder's , the famous car that James Dean crashed and died in. There are very few originals still in existence, but thankfully the Porsche uses a similar engine to the Volkswagen, so there by it lives by the Volkswagen rule: any car that use a Volkswagen like motor can be made into a kit car. Vintage spyders makes some very nice Spyders at a good price (base turnkey is starting at $25,000) this would make a great alternative to a new Civic.

from snowflakes to metalflakes

Well, Mooneye's vintage styled California Metal Flake steering wheel's are one of the great products from Mooneye that would be a great Holiday present for any late 50's to 60's hot rod enthusiast.

gasser photos






My addiction to gassers had made me find some pics

odd gassers?


yep I know, I know, they are not really original gassers but still they are awesome. some odd cars like old Ramblers or other small brands with a big motor (nailhead, vintage lookin small block, Hemi) give it a raised straight axle ( but keep it at a legal hight) and drive it to car shows, strips anything and you will get looks. Make it as a daily driver with a smaller engine and you will just be awesome at any job. This is something I want to build one day, it says cool all over.

I'm back

After a long time of being out I'm back

the 4X4 Kustom







I saw a cool 4X4 Kustom I wanted people to see.
Enjoy
Just the look of it is cool. The 8 head lamp,fins and the rear fender skirts. the flathead engine is from a Merc.
this is what the description reads."This was built in the late 50's early 60's. It is on a 1942 4x4 ford jeep chassis. The cab is a 1952 IH snubnose. The rear clip is a 1953 mercury custom sedan. It has 59 ford front fenders for the bottom lights the top lights are 39 chevy headlights turned sideways and split.IT IS 4 WHEEL DRIVE ! ! ! 4x4. Make a cool rock crawler out of it!!!!

The motor is a EAC Mercury flathead V8. These motors make great hot rod motors! ! It trns over and tries to start but dontknow if i have the plug wires on in right order.It is on jeep 4 x 4 frame, the old gentalman that i bought this from used it to plow snow, he said it would go places other 4x4s couldnt go. This is a great project for someone .I found another car and cant keep 2 cars here,so I am selling this one. Rolls easily, will need a trailer or flatbed to haul. The body is solid with no rust holes. Needs brakes, glass."

If I had got that I would bring it to show car standards but make it drivable. But... I don't!!
