Sam did you sell that wagon to someone out my way? I believe I've seen it at some point at a car show here.

When I lived in CA I sold it out there, and right after I sold t to this guy he painted it all flat black. Took all that was kool about it off. Then don't know where it went from there. That was back in 06.

Ok because I've seen a similar car at SuperRun in Henderson. I'll have to look in all my albums for pics. It's a shame that one was repainted.

Yeah look for those pics. I'd love to see them. And yes it was a shame. Oh well not mine no more.

This is (was) my dad's 1968 Shelby G.T. 350 convertible. It had a 302 with a high rise cobra aluminum intake, with what we found to be a Cobra Jet Holley 4-barrell, 351 heads, and a 4 speed tranny, and yes the whole family rode in the car.

Kind of wish i had the money to do all of the cars he had, finished and not finished, I'm guessing 15-20.

I made this for my best friend last year. It, along with 2 other custom made builds, were to be his B'day presents. I won't get into it here, as I have previously said enough, but he passed away 2wks shy of his B'day & never got to see them.

I converted a stock Fujimi Mitsubishi Colt into a replica of his Mitsubishi Ralliart Colt ( Turbo )

So far I've only done one replica, for a friend of mine, but plan on replicating my '72 Charger and '80 Capri sometime soon. Here's mine, a '68 Plymouth Satellite, 318, vinyl top, added the side trim, and painted in a color that was as close of a match as I could get with a faded picture from 1974! Jay was extremely happy when he got his hands on this baby, he even shrunk himself and his son so they could get in the picture! :D
