Been awhile since I posted anything so how about some nice car show coverage from a recent event that I participated in.

Moving cars around in the garage over the weekend and decided to snag a quick little walk around video of the freshly completed 55 Chevy idling. Currently fixing a few little bugs and getting the car dialed in to start hitting the indoor show circuit starting next month.

Put together this video of various passes I have made with my 17 Camaro over the past two race seasons. Finished up this year with 2 event wins, 1 runner up and finishing 2nd in the class championship. Best pass with the car was a 12.18 at 113. Now going to spend winter trying to figure out how to get into the 11's.

It has been a while since I did a project update on the 55 Bel Air. At this point though the car is done and on the road again. There are still some small bugs to work out and some final detailing for the upcoming indoor show season, but the car my grandparents have owned for 46 years is back on the road from its 10+…

It has been an unusually nice October here in the Portland, Oregon area and yesterday was such a nice day with no real plans that means that its was a perfect day to get a few of the cars out for fresh pictures. Got the 68 Camaro, 68 C10, and the 55 Bel Air out.

The 55 Chevy is finally complete and to celebrate the entire garage went to a local car show. This is the first time ever all the oldest owned cars have all been running. The 55 is still got a few bugs to work out, but its up and driving. it was a lot of fun to get them all out to photograph together.

Last weekend was once race day yet again for the Modern Muscle class I compete in with my 17 Camaro SS. I won the class last month and was hoping to just get through a few rounds to help with points due to the class being full as the following day was a Mopar National event. So there were loads of Hellcats and Demon…

So I sold my 2000 Camaro Convertible a couple months ago because I didn’t have a need for a drop top in Oregon, instead I was in need of a machine better suited for the winters. So I figured on finding a Chevy pickup to be the winter ride so I don’t have to tear up my 17 Camaro SS and avoid getting stuck if really bad…

and love how it sounds now! I had originally put on a original exhaust kit on the car when I first put the car together and the kit had been a nightmare from day one, but I put up with it for 10 years. The rattling and leaks finally got to the point that I had to replace the whole system from manifolds back. Went with…

This last weekend was the second event for the Modern Muscle Car class I run at my local drag strip. Its a lot of fun and very competitive. Loads of Scat Pack and Hellcat Mopars, 5.0 Mustangs and a smattering of Camaro’s. Even have a SRT 300 and Chevy SS in the mix. I have a group of friends with late model muscle so…

Once again the Portland Roadster Show has come and gone and it was an odd one for myself. For this first time in 6 years neither any family or myself had a car in the show, so this year was just a lot of volunteer work and checking out the cool cars at the show. The Portland Roadster Show had its 62nd anniversary this…

This weekend my 68 Camaro was invited to show in the invite only Salem Roadster Show held in the State Fairground in Salem, Oregon. The promoters spend the year looking for top notch show cars all around the northwest and surrounding areas. This years show was again full of all types of cars from hot rods to muscle…

Well yesterday the car was running. Now its moving! Had to do the garage shuffle today. Had to load my 68 Camaro into the trailer for an upcoming show and the trailer needs to sit where the 55 was. So checked the brakes, and fluids, fired up the 55 and it moved on its own since 2009. Clutch still needs adjustment and…

Finally got a decent video of the 55 running today. Still has a few bugs to iron out, but its awesome to finally hear this car run again since it was last running in 2009.

Its been a few month since the last update on the 55 Chevy project, but a lot of progress has been made! The big things have been getting the hardtop “flappers” adjusted and working, getting all the glass and trim on and then reassembling the front end of the car. Currently waiting on new hood hinges to shop up to be…

Well with an indoor car show coming fast for my 68 Camaro, had to finally get to work on the winter updates/fixes. The big thing is getting my original rear seat restuffed and stretched and also replacing the original 50 year old carpet. So today was the start of the carpet replacement. The rear was easy to remove,…

I am excited to finally be able to talk about this! Back in October our 56 Chevy “Miss Taboo” was photographed for an upcoming issue of Traditional Rod & Kulture Illustrated magazine and the feature is finally hitting the internet and shelves! While the paper copy is not officially out till the 6th the online version…

Well as I have been enjoying New Years Eve eve. Decided I would do a nice collection of the Forza 7 snap shots I have done in the past couple of months. I have been trying new settings trying to get a more realistic look. I am just amazed at the lighting the game creates and how well they reflections come out.

Little update on the 55 Chevy. Since the last update (Here), not much visible progress. Got the clutch linkage hooked up, started going through the wiring again, started putting the dash trim back on, and then lastly my grandfather and I pulled the windshield in. Started testing the switches and dash lights, it was…
