getting my attention with articulation

ordinary Chevy trucks looking great due to a restoration and perfect paint.

Pretty good for plain old Chevy trucks huh?!

Don't know why a pickup needs 2 back axles, or 3 air filters, but they are attention getters

43 years in a barn, but it had one hell of a racing career before hibernation

Looks amazingly good for having hibernated.. about the only thing that indicates true age are those slicks.

Mike Bamber's old "Silver Dollar" A/GS 1940 Willys

the engine was being rebuilt in it, to make a few passes on the Nostalgia circuit, when a guy teaching his daughter to drive plowed into the barn, missed the Willys, but hit the engine stand and knocked the engine over - cracking the blower case. Lucky that no one was hurt, and that the truck was missed completely

Love those fantastic painted intake butterfly valves, great airbrush work too!

Aren't those great?!

The best fully outfitted rig I've seen. Really, how many have a mini fridge and a mini crane?
