here is my project. its a 1953 ford customline that I have now nosed, decked, shaved and frenched and rounded the door corners. its lowered a lot and is running a freshly rebuilt by me 302 .60 over with 351 heads with a lunati cam. I am about to start the bodywork and paint if time and money allow.
Digging it hard, bro. Thank you for not lifting it and going all Gasser. Looks sexy. What color scheme you planning to go with?

Nice! Panel paint jobs are sick when done right. Keep us updated.

That thing is bad ass man, those custom lines look good when done right. I have a buddy that hss one chopped.

Here's what I've had and have.

Bought this 2005 Chevy Colorado.



Did a few mods to it and lowered it a total of 5 1/2 inches in the front and 7 1/2 inches in the rear. This is currently the lowest Colorado/Canyon on the 355nation.





Stupid road construction took my baby out so now I'm starting over with this.



Few other projects I've worked on with my brother.







This thing is currently in Australia.





Can't see the pass side... Is it a legit herse or ambulance? Either way it's dope as hell! Love the Bride paintwork!
Thanks, it's just a 210 wagon. The paint was done by my tattoo guy, he loves doing wild paint jobs.

I just started on an 89 f150 that I'm planning on lowering and swapping a big motor into. Was an farm truck my family has had since new. It's been sitting for two years in my parents driveway and only got driven before that if I would need to move something. Finally have the time and resources to play with it.

Also just collected a pile of parts for our 05 trailblazer that I'm turning into an expo/family camping rig. We're planning to do a month long trip next summer up the Alaskan hwy and op the dempster. Then back down the coast home. Then a month later I wanna do a week in Moab. That's been a bucket list trip for me since my mid teens. Can't wait to put the roof top tent on and head north!

I bought it as this:
(left) was the wife bike, (right) is mine


over the years it has morphed into this:
(it now has chromed OEM wheels and a few other minor changes)


The most fun project was when I did this:
It involved higher compression pistons, cams, FCR carbs, igniter tune and a brake upgrade to a six pot.


Oh... and just for fun... the wife traded in for this last year:
(its already got (but not pictured) pipes, a tune, better suspension and a slew of other changes made to it)

Here's mine. I started a '51 when I was 15 and never got to finish it, 18 yrs later I'm starting over with a '53. I very happy to have this in the garage.

Very cool man, had a 51 for a very short time. My brother and I flipped it for some quick cash, sold it to a buddy that is still trying to build it right now so I still get to see it once in a while.

Here's a pic of my kids and my track bike. Don't have any recent picks of my street bike and old cars on my phone. Moved my bike into my house since we moved into our new home, thought made for good conversation. It's a '92 Yamaha TZ 250. Closest thing I'll get to racing a motogp bike. Our race track closed so it's in retirement. I made easy work of big litre bikes on the slower tighter tracks with this oil burner.


also here's a video driving my virgin g35 on our track. the car was bone stock with the exception of Race compound tires; circa 2005.
