My 67 Camaro.


This is my 67 Camaro. I traded a 1930 model A sedan for it. The car ran 10's in the 1/4 mile. It had a 454 motor that I pulled out and put in my shorty wagon. I put the 302 that came in the shorty Corvair in it and sold it. I don't know why I sold it. I did keep the rear end and tires and wheels. But after I painted it and put it up for sale guys lined up at my door to buy it.

Richard's Chevelle.

Sorry about the poor picture. It's an old picture of my friend Richard's 65 Chevelle I painted. He's an old racing buddy and this is one of his race cars.

A few more of my cars.


Lets start with my 67 GTO. I completely restored it and I had to jack up the back end to put on the big tires and the first week I got a ticket for altered suspension. After I sold it the new owner crashed it.Just to the left is my Galaxy 500. I painted it brown and white. Just behind the GTO is my dads 73 Ford he gave me. In the lower picture is Dale's 58 Chev I painted for him when he was on his mission. To the left you can see my 72 Pinto, I gave it to Alan for Christmas.

Dave's 280Z Rotsun.


I restored this 280Z for Dave. It was a complete rust bucket. My friend Ed did the motor and wiring and suspension.

My shorty wagon.


This is my 75 Chevelle wagon. I shortened it about 30 plus years ago. Sense then I've sold it and bought it back and put a new motor in it. It needs a new paint job now and the AC fixed. Maybe I'll do it some day.

Corvair and Impala.


My friend Richard took this picture of a 67 shortened Impala at a car show he has at with his two boys. The 65 Corvair is one I have and I hope to shorten one day. Shari Ann would like to have. I don't know about that. It needs a flywheel and if I pull the motor out I might go all the way and shorten it.

My shorty truck.




Here are my shorty trucks. The red and black one is a 73 with a 454 that I had about 30 years ago. The orange truck is a 75 with a 350. When I built the 73 I made the cab and bed separate. My new shorty is all one piece. I'm welding the cab and bed together. I hope it works out.

My favorite car.



This Corvair is at Ken's house all taken apart. He is welding up all the rust and crack and a new front spoiler.

A better look at Steve's cars




The black 57 I painted about 25 years ago and he still wins cars shows with it. The 62 Impala I painted maybe 20 years ago so he could sell it and the new owner crashed it two weeks later. I painted the gas pump for his 50's room.

This is my 73 Vega I bought from Ralph a guy I worked for. The car was named Energy Crisis. Originally it was named Bad Habit and it had bright green metal flake paint.
