Found this old Schwinn that is similar but cooler than what I rode when I was a kid. A little cleaning and tires and tubes, it's ready to cruise around the carshows.

1931 Model A brakes... No wonder the Ford dealer refused to rebuild them. Mechanical with rods and levers off the pedal so any slop is not good. So many parts and not the bolts have holes for cutter pins through the castle nuts. Crazy. Found some good slightly used brake shoes, otherwise I would have had to rivet new lines to the metal parts.

Just about finished with this 1968 RS/SS 396 Camaro. Some before and after pictures. A typical auction buy that looks good from 30 feet and many missing and incorrect parts everywhere.

Update: February 20; these projects take me way too long. Ready for a test drive and wash next week it will be out the door. Every single task took 3 times longer than it should have.

My girlfriend called this t-shirt cute. I'm 60, ain't nothing cute about me. Who remembers Cartoons? I have one from 1974 on ebay to replace the first issue I bought back in the day. Panic Stop was inside cover, I had on my wall, I was 9.

I used to build model cars as a kid so I could show them to my dad. He died this month in 2002 just before his 60th birthday. I have a shop full of cars I wish he could see me building now. Please ask any questions you might have. Thank you for seeing these pictures.
