1938 Ford Truck





We also have a Ford truck project going. This one is for my wife. Were kinda at a standstill until more parts are collected for the chassis. We pulled it apart, removed the 221ci Ford Flathead, installed a 1957 Ford 292ci with 3-2's and a Borg Warner 4 speed trans, chopped the roof 4". My daughter and I fabricated the back panel due to rust.

New project 1962 BSA a10 Rocket






Building the prism tank 70's style, I decided to make my own sprint car fuel cap.
It's easier for me to make it than to save up and buy one, and this one is smaller than
any of the cap's I've seen. The frame is stock now, but I'm going to make a ridged tail
section and a springer front end. The engine needs help, the pistons are frozen to the
jugs and the motor plates are missing.

We race tradition style, V4F BGS 140mph world record holder

I am on the Bean Bandit Racing Team, we restored this streamliner originally built by
Juaquine Arnett. Stock Model "A" motor with a blower built by Tom Branch, Driven by Fabian Valdez. World record holder at Bonneville.


My toys

My 1960 Biscayne, I have had this car over 15 years, I have restored it twice. I love it, I did everything on it accept the interior. My 1966Triumph 650 Bonneville took about 2 years to collect and fabricate parts to complete.


It all starts this way - Addiction

650 Triumph Bonneville, started out as a basket case. Stretched the mustang tank 2", fabricated the shifter and linkage, made the seat, even laced the rear rim. The frame was bent so I cut off the ridged section and had to make a new one using some of the old pieces. Paint was done by me. Modified the springer and made all the missing rockers and upper trees, I made the exhaust from 304 stainless "j" tubes, shortened the rear fender and fabricated the oil tank, fabricated the battery box from 304 stainless, and made the seat pan, and hinge. I ride the crap out of this thing.
