Is that a trailer hitch mounted on the rear of the roof?

Here's some more, It's summer now, don't you wish it would cool off just a little? line at the dog park was a killer,

50 also, surprised the heck out of me.

here's a few Friday funnies, Have a fun Friday.

Don't buy it from Gas Monkey, way over priced. They make nice rides.

here's a screen grab, Camaro, the blast has started before the car hits the dozers.

Or this. still needs some fine tuning.

Looks like the difference is in the air cleaner. Truck engine, , car engine, the engine in your picks looks like it might be the earlier 50 truck engine, valve cover difference.

Out doing yard clean up Saturday, it's 8:30 PM and 84 degrees, welcome to Florida.

Got all the old fire wood burned this weekend, some of it 3 or 4 years old, probably 1/2 a cord, started trimming the big oaks in the front yard, new wood for this year.

Looks like they copied of a 46-48 chevy.

Jim, did you replace the Baja?

All that performance is nice, but how far can you go and how long does it take to recharge? Oh, and $35,000 for batteries?

Old Indy car turned dirt tracker?

We went last year, our second trip out there, had a great time. Went to the Pawn Stars pawn shop, a hole that is made to look good on TV. Counts Customs was kinda neat, his collection of cars was open to viewing, the aquarium on the north end of town was nice and the old strip down on Fremont was fun. Haven't been out to Rick's Restorations, but seems like that would be fun, as he seems to be the most down to earth of the TV "stars" on the shows there.

The radial rod concept is cool to look at but from a practical stand point doesn't have a chance of working. Those engine were designed to be in 100 plus mph wind streams to keep cool, I just can't see how it would last, cruising down the blvd with that cab in front of it, in stop and go traffic. The engines used in tanks had massive cooling systems to keep it from cooking. I probably take things too literally, since these are fantasy rods anyway. Never mind.

where it all starts.

I couldn't afford the nitrogen in the tires.

Those are gorgeous.

it's not sage, but close.

Now this is how you travel!

Here's another beauty, Oh, and if you want to get a few more horses,

On page 4, at the bottom of the page, Dick Oreck is credited with the builds and their origins are listed. Go to the Model Encyclopedia site and look at the Dec 63 article on Oreck, it's amazing, he was casting his own parts using silicone molds, turning parts on a lathe and lacing his front wire wheels in '63.
