Turlock Swapmeet January 2010
The January Turlock is always one of the best swapmeets I hit yearly, and this year was no exception! Great place to scrounge up hot rod parts and this year was important becausing I was relaying the Satellite to it’s new owner! We’ll start off on a hazey Saturday morning, about 8:00 or so. We’d all been up really late drinking heavily and barbecuing, and I personally...
Fun Times for All! My Old Valiant Sedan
1968 Plymouth Valiant 100 sedan Slant Six, Four on the Floor It really was one of those “You had to be there!” kind of things, or maybe “Happiness is a total Beater!” I made a ton of great memories bombing around in this little car. We’d pack it full of gearheads, pick a DD, and booze it up all night long with the music cranked as loud as we could take it!...
Plymouth Satellite Sebring at the Turn
Just a couple updated pictures of my rolling couch with a roof… Currently hauling butt to work everyday like a good daily driver should. The 318 is knocking out some decent economy, but the interior needs some major work. I probably won’t have it too much longer, I should be picking up a replacement engine for the truck this weekend.

1973 Plymouth Satellite Burnout – One Tire Fire
Just some one tire fire from a crusty old, 100% stock, 318 two barrel Mopar!! Happy Earth Day!! Yep, that’s my old 1973 Plymouth Satellite Sebring hidden in that cloud of smoke somewhere…. Read More →
Post-apocalyptic Satellite
It’s neat, in a Mad Max Road Warrior kind of way. Definately keeps traffic moving, if you know what I mean. The interior is the worst part, the driver’s side of the bench seat is trashed. I’ve been watching for bucket seats in decent shape, but they haven’t popped up reasonably yet. Read More →

Uh oh…
My rough-as-a-corn cob Ford Coupe, with the SBC. Notice the chalk mark above the body line on the rear section of the body. Five minutes with a 4.5 cutoff wheel removes the head off this 77 year old Ford. I only wanted the rear section, so I removed the door jams without cutting ‘em up. The removed cab section. I’ll probably just end up selling it, but I think a neat little...
Pulled the 1931 Ford out of the backyard!
Finally pulled this toy out of the backyard again! I wasn’t having any luck finding a runner big block Chrysler, but I had a decent drivetrain in a ‘62 Chevy pickup I just wasn’t going to get to for a while, so I pulled it out for the Model A. These year trucks have a hydraulic clutch, so getting that to work should be an absolute breeze. That’s an S-10 T-5 tranny...
High-Performance Parts Hauler: 1964 Chevrolet El Camino
Chevy 283 4 barrel, Turbo 350, 10 bolt w/??? gears I really like this Chevy, nice power in a smaller GM A-body. My old “El Camino” felt like a bloated elephant on roller skates compared to this lil’ one. Formerly owned by Robbie Rinders and before that Beau Burnett. Not sure who filled this thing full of bondo, but it’s a putty packed road rocket! Some damage,...
Full Fendered Yard Art
My Model A Coupe There hasn’t been any real progress yet, I’ve been working on getting the Challenger going. I did start bolting on all the fenders, brackets and such I’ve collected, and snapped a picture. I still haven’t trimmed down the roof insert yet, either. I kinda like it. With the fenders and the stainless headlights, the Model A shell looks better. I...
