Simple Sunday Cruise
So, I’ve been itching to drive the Model A lately. A new high volume/pressure fuel pump now adequately feeds the blown 283, and it’s a little rocket on my late night test drives, but I wanted to get out and really stretch its legs. Saturday I cruised it out to Livermore, and aside from being stuck in a short downpour, it buzzed along without a problem. I didn’t get any...
Little more progress on Kyle’s 1955 Chevy
Kyle collects more parts and gets more done on his ‘55 Chevy project. It is a massive undertaking, but things are beginning to move a little faster. The tilt front end is mounted now and it is beginning to look like a car! Kyle has been doing bodywork to the quarter panel on this side of the Chevy. He’s already fixed a lot of damage on this car. Turlock Swapmeet parts…...
Matt’s 1969 Buick Skylark
Matt inherited this car in a roundabout kind of way from his uncle. His uncle added a bunch of handling goodies, it has drop springs and aftermarket swaybars, possible other parts. Matt found the wheels on Craigslist for $300 (screamin’ deal there!), pulled of the old frazzled vinyl top and started doing some bodywork. Read More →
Kyle’s 1955 Chevy
Kyle bought his first house and moved on out to Tracy a month ago, and this weekend he brought his 1955 Chevy out and I was able to get a few decent pictures of this project. This thing was a really rough, hacked up old drag car, and Kyle has made some progress on the car. The fiberglass tilt front end. Kyle had to build a new pair of front frame horns, as one was missing and he needed...

Jimmy’s Old Car Picnic 2009
Once a year in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park Jimmy has a picnic, and invites all the car nuts from around the Bay Area to it. I had so much fun last year I decided it was one of those “can’t miss” shows. This year the admission was up $10 from last year’s $20, but that didn’t seem to affect the attendance of so many great cars. I’ll add more verbage...
Relic’s “Almost a Drive-In Movie” Night
Showing up before dark… …the Piles for Miles Car Club strikes again!! In the distance, there was a noise! Justin pulling Jeremy’s truck around for some power parking. How it looked right before the sun went down. Our feature presentation, the original “Gone in 60 Seconds”. Read More →
Pete’s Wicked Burnout!!
1966 Chevy Panel Truck This is my buddy Pete in is his big white 1966 Chevy Panel truck. He’s had it for a few years now, and it has been a fun, fast, reliable ride. It has a hopped up Chevy 400, TH-350, and 12 bolt with 3.55 limit slip. Friday before John’s Burger, the moment he gets to Justin’s house, he starts frying the tires. I whipped the camera out as fast as...
Steve’s 1954 Ford F100 Pickup
Recently, Steve sent me few emails with this Ford truck, his kid’s 1965 Valiant and a few other cars from his past. You can see his old cars by clicking here or going up through the “Cars from the Past” menu. Steve writes: I bought this truck in 1997 for 6K. Shortly afterward I got tired of chasing a knock in the 289, (turned out to be a wrist pin), so I yanked it out and...
