Im sorry i opened my mouth and said i would post pictures, im embarassed to post this after the lead you guys gave, you guys have talent! but Here goes, a condensed version. Pardon the poor pictures , all these are terrible but the give ya an idea what ive been up to for the past few years. None of these are digital and I only had copies in my photo album. I had to take pictures of pictures
Obviously the art of photography escapes me too!

Started out with vw's. A 1972 vw karmann ghia before.

and after:


1970 vw dunebuggy. ( yes i had a brief "thing" for vw's ) Still would like to build one again someday for old times sake.


Moved on to the car i miss the most. A 1966 chevelle SS L34. One of under 500 made that year with the 360hp 396 and a M22. My oldest had colik(sp) as a baby and going for a ride in the chevelle was the only thing that quieted him down. Thats my boy.

sold the chevelle when the time came to buy a minivan.. .. . . . . . Paid a lot of bills but felt naked without SOMETHING to cruise in. So I bought a 1968 chev K-10 short and wide 4x4. The one that is sometimes in my avatar. Heres a link to that project and although I have changed alot on the truck in the past year ( more aggressive white letter tires, interior) it gives an idea:

There have been others, a couple of 69 camaro's that i got discouraged with and sold, even though i love that year. but sometimes its a good idea to let it go. A 1973 rs camaro that was setup as a street/drag car.(love the rs!) sold it too before it made me a poor man, A 1968 Mercury M100 shortbox/fleetside 2wd pickup truck that i drove while dating my wife. A few more vw's but you get the idea

that 66 is my all time fav. never owned one but thats my dream car
my buddy had a 66 with a 396 and i think they called the shifter a vertical gate
yoiu just banged it straight back and then straight ahead with a little lever you had to pull up to shift into reverse .car was not top end fast but got there in a hurry if you could keep it going straight

[agingcrossbower]

Scott, just recently the wife and I bought a new car and the dealer asked if I wanted to look under the hood. I said, WHY. Thats how mechanical I am. You've got talent my man. I would'nt attempt any of that. You must feel great to be able to bring old cars like them back to life. WOW!

[agingcrossbower]

Crispy, those works of art you loosely call decoys should never touch water. Very, very nice. The detail is really shows your steady hand. What a talent. That hen is my favorite.
