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.

Doug’s 1958 Plymouth
Doug has recently gotten his old heap fired up again with a new engine and fresh coat of primer. I believe it is running a Chevy 383 stroker with a TH350. DONUT WHEEL in LIVERMORE!!! Nice shot at dusk. I was adding the old pictures I took of your car to the new version of my webpage, and it turns out those pictures were taken 6/24/03. Exactly six years to the day after I took those...

Norm’s 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle
If you know Norm and cars, you know everything he’s done to this car was done well. He’s rebuilt the suspension using OEM Moog parts, so it drives very nice. He just had the seats reupholstered and they look great. It has a well-detailed 350 two barrel that runs like a top, backed by a column shifted TH350 and 10 bolt rearend. Read More →
Winston’s 1932 Ford Coupe
Winston’s Coupe is a regular around the area. You’ll see it everywhere, car shows, swap meets, anywhere that Winston can pedal his little Coupe he’ll take it.

Fresh Paint for Tony’s 1966 Plymouth Barracuda
Tony’s Barracuda had been sitting in primer for years until Ian came along a month ago and started the heavy duty bodywork process. He was trying to get it finished for the Mopar Alley car show, but even though he missed that goal, the car is now painted. The paint is a 1971 Mopar color, “Sassy Grass Green”. I would have been hard to have picked more eye-poppin’...

Dad’s 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu
My Dad has had this thing for a few years now, and I still think it’s one of the nicest cars I’ve ever seen. The body is beautiful, sporting a new coat of the original LeMans Blue paint and rolling on American Racing Torq Thrust D wheels for the muscle car look. Read More →

Mopar Head Gasket Tech
Recently I stopped by to talk with Steve Carlson, another local Mopar guy. He had the top end pulled off the 440 in his ‘69 Road Runner. I learned that the thicker composite FelPro gasket head gaskets lower the compression a half point over the original style steel shim head gaskets. Every B/RB engine built since its inception in 1958 came with steel shim head gaskets regardless of...
