'79 El Camino bought used in '82. It was bronze until 2000 when it got the father-son rehab you see.

This is my ball and chain that im happily married to. A 67 Chevelle with a 454 70 over power plant 12 inch tunnel ram with two 650cfm demon carbs topped with a shotgun bill scoop, ceramic headman headers conected to 3 inch exhaust pipes. she is also bottle fed by a 20lb bottle of NOS. theres a 8pt rollcage and Wilwood brakes on all four corners. Faultline will be finished early this spring. I built a model here in the forums as a design tool, and the 1:1 will resemble it closely I'll include pics of both. Enjoy

rollcage installed

almost 1 of a kind custom Boyd Coddington wheels (they only made enough parts for 30 sets)

Six piston calipers

Shotgun Bill and his favorite bottle...

the design tool....

Is that Batman?

Yes... but only on the driver's side! The car was like that when I bought it in 2002- no idea why they never stenciled him onto the other quarter panel!

Oh, and Romell... glad to see I'm not the only guy who brings car parts into the house on occasion!

My daily driver ... 78 box stock porthole Pinto

My babies ...

My other vehicles ...

[TurboKitty]

this is my current daily driver, it's a '96 Chevy Corsica (2.2 4 cylinder) with 242,000+ miles. What you can't see is the primered panel on the driver's side where I did some rust repair, and all the various spots of chipping paint and rust. I'd love to spray bomb the whole car flat black and call it a day, lol.

Previously owned cars:

2000 Chevy Cavalier Z24 (LOVED this car, I want to eventually get an '00-'02 Z24 in white)

1995 Toyota Celica GT (BEST Car I've owned, I still miss this car. Unfortunately it got repossessed and it "lives" somewhere near Grand Rapids, MI now.)

When I bought it in Ohio:

After the kit was painted:

Last time I saw it

My '73 Charger SE Project (had to sell it )

I've also had a black '98 Cavalier 2dr, a dark pink '96 Chevy Blazer (total POS!) a red '94 Olds Cutlass Supreme SL 2dr, a black '96 Dodge Neon 2dr, a strawberry metallic '98 Neon 4dr, a silver '88 Pontiac LeMans SE 4dr, a Silver Mist '96 Chrysler Sebring LX, a Milano red'93 Honda Civic 4dr, and a black & silver '91 Dodge Daytona ES. I will be building models of all the ones I can someday, lol!

1973 plymouth. Recently dismantled the suspension and rebuilt it using ply bushings. Changed the backspacing of the rally wheels to 3.75 with 245 60 15s so it fills the wheel openings alot more.Just now needs an alignment. Too late this year. But first thing next spring.

hmm..surprisingly few motorcycles...

this is my recently acquired and intermittently reliable Buell X1..when its running good I commute 25 miles one way almost every day of the week

this is my 2000 Impala sitting next to the Buell...its also about as reliable as the Buell..lol. But I have to say it goes like stink for a big floaty boat.

this used to be my daily before I wrecked it and before fatherhood..fun car

then waaaaay back in the day before the 240 I used to drive this beast..and I drove it like a darn sports car..as you can see in this autocross pic..lol

Here is my project car that is still my daily driver. I drive this to and from work. This is one of my favorite pics but it is over 10 years old. It is now a green primer. Someday I will get to the paint job. It has a 440 with aluminum heads and M1 intake, 727 with a TCI street fighter valve body and 2500 stall converter, 3:55 sure grip 8 3/4 rear. Mosier axles and 4 wheel disc brakes. It handles very well with the custom sway bars front and rear. She gets tons of attention on the road and is fun to drive. I have a 2nd one for parts as they are very rare. It's a 71 Plymouth Sport Suburban. I switched the front over to look like a 1970.

I love these big ol' bombers. My uncle had a dark green 1970 Polara wagon that he bought new in 1969. Being just 5 years old at the time, I thought it was an army tank! He had it repainted to a color similar to yours before he sold it.

can i have it? LOL beautiful car

[Romell R]

The Boyds rims are nice, but you should ditch those and get some Foose rims, since all his are one offs.

Youre Kidding right???

1. all Foose rims are not 1 offs as Foose has a line of custom rims

2. To get a 1 off rim you would have to pay for the tooling the time spent in CAD designing, and usually youd have to make a min. purchase

3. Boyd Coddington passed away just a lil while ago, so who's rims do you think are goin to be rarer now thus be more valuable?

4. Like I said they only made enough parts for 30 sets or 120 seperate rims. And im about to buy two more so that cuts the set count down to 29.

Have your facts stright before you make this type of comment...oh yeah before I forget

5. I'll ditch them when you pay me the money i spent on them. Let me know if you want my PayPal address.

Whoa, calm down, no more coffee for you. I actually forgot that Boyd had passed, so yes, his rims do go for a premium now. And excuse me for making a COMMENT. Everyone is entitled to their own OPINION. MY opinion is that I like Foose rims better, although Boyd does have a few nice designs. Either way, all of them are out of my price range.
