  1. Switch gears again.
  2. Today at an auction in Prescott (first for this company and location). It's on a Fiero that has been lengthened in front. LS engine.
  3. Pleased that there is some progress on resurrecting Fakerri. Last night I dashed to a favorite spot in a subdivision for sunset #2 pictures. Turn signals work now. This morning, Bosa Donuts cruise: Subaru dealership show: An auction: I have a 2016 Civic, not up on the latest Honda stuff, but I like the name:
  4. Completely forgot about these! Very nice build.
  5. 😁 Owner said that too. This perfectly preserved (not over restored) 'Vette was for sale, lots of talk but Bee Us walks. The one across the street was sweet with a "stroker" engine.
  6. This was entered in the Williams Historic Route 66 Car Show. Makes me want to rip into a lousy kit and modify.
  7. That looks more comfortable than this Sherpa.
  8. A Miata based kit body. I know someone who does other bodies for Miatas. David: Sherpa, designed for Arctic terrain, but I saw a video of one dominating a Mud Bog.
  9. On historic Route 66 in Williams, two Rat Rad trucks.
  10. I love this! Not because my first car was the family '77 CVCC, but that helps. Have the #20360 kit, but it's way down the build list.
  11. Got mine yesterday when going to the Williams show. Bosa Donuts has an early Saturday cruise (bag is on my car, sign above it).
  12. Had a great weekend at the Williams Historic Route 66 Car Show. I was not the only Daytona there, this Studebaker with supercharged engine represented very well. They also got the long distance award. Got another 'Gumball Rally' picture. Got man cave bling, the vender just put that out 20 minutes before, when I was thinking of cruising downtown again. Something that pleased these lady tourists from Russia, getting a picture of mom in Fakerri. I know they were here to see the Grand Canyon, but hey. I missed my first opportunity when doing a joyride through Kirkland, young man wanted pictures of his girlfriend with the car. I have no problem with them touching the car. All I wanted was a picture with the Stutz kit car built on a Scout chassis. 😅 This morning while editing the picture, noticed the chalk entry number which is such a coincidence that I can't believe it! 😳 Great way to end the car show for me. I better not calculate how many years between the original Stutz and the Daytona, bet it's about the same time as Ferrari to now.
  13. I've done a few cruises, this is the first legit show, Williams Historic Route 66 Car Show. Because the neighbor left early, I lucked out in getting this Cobra driver to park here. The 'Gumball Rally' stars have aligned. Then they connected with friends and were off.
  14. I know right? Got this because it's a Chevy, little did I know... 🙄 I'm always amazed how perfect some guys can make their cars. I mean look how shiny these smoked chrome wheels are, it's disgusting.
  15. I'm just doing a drive-by post, leave everyone is suspense for awhile. 😏
  16. Oh man, no cutouts or flame throwers either? 🙄 I took Fakerri in to a long-time exhaust shop, he took a quick look, would prefer doing a whole system when the time comes. I really wanted to ditch the "original" filler tube that had two right turns that foamed up the gas, so this ought to help. Front A-arm bushings got replaced. And the front calipers decided to *#*#*#* while there, so those are replaced. Last thing I wanted to think about for now, is the top. We got an early storm, dodged the big rain while shuttling vehicles today. Quick fix: It's been fix that, something else breaks, fix that, guess what. 56 years old, what did I expect?
  17. Took it in for new A-arm bushings, front brake calipers decided to fail by leaking all over. Amazing I got it out by 4:45. Of course I have an 8:00am appointment for an alignment, which tested my patience. Oh wait, what thread is this........
