does any one feel a draft ?


Hey direct from the Helton speed shop,a baby blower for Alberts new 327 being installed in the orange thing!The old jeep engine was blue and Albert needed more orange on the ride,besides the rods were knocking ,so why not put a blown 327 in! Mike and Albert have been swapping more parts than Craigs list and E-bay combined , all the commerce between them might just fix the economy ,lets hope so.

Albert's Jeep (lite)

Well proving that guys can't leave well enough alone, Albert has decided to redo his jeep project and make it ....( Green! )so he's getting rid of the V-8 and is powering it with air !! Something he is full of ,hot air !This baby is really light, now it just floats through the mud.

da women an da jeep!


Alberts boss ....Shirley/ wife was't real happy about my graphic design work on the jeep,the skull on the back was a bit much,she said, why couldn't i just put some lady bugs on it or sumpin!Ok one lady bug coming up !
















I put it on the glove box so she can see it while hang on for dear life with Albert! The old glass packs have got to go too,so Albert can hear Shirley tell him where to go!! Their going to have tons of fun in this ride......and maybe one day Curtis can drive it too!

alberts cj-5 jeep





Posted by PicasaThis is Albert's Cj it started life as a rusted out piece.Albert and his talented son ,Curtis whipped this dude out,and its real nice!A fiberglass and Kevlar body now adorns the chassis that was boxed in stressed areas and fitted with tougher parts so Curtis can hammer it with a little abuse from time to time.Calm down Albert ,that's what jeeps are for getting dirty!heck yeah!The underside of the body was shot with Speedliner bed liner with Kevlar,black in color,while the inside of the tub was shot with Speedliner to match the paint.This will make the interior easy to clean and make it durable too.Curtis "son of stinkin genius" prepped the body with epoxy Kirker primer and blocked it up,then shot it with Kirker Omaha orange, then water sanded the pig! I had the fun of puttin down some simple graphics and when that was done Curtis slathered it with clear kirker for that slick smooth look. Throw in some new seats , fat rubber on chrome wheels,fresh trim and it's time to cruise.Future plans for this neat jeep include a warmed up Chevy 327 that's sitting on the stand waiting for some mud to churn or rubber to burn!
