Goodguys Auto cross

It was a blast watching the Auto Cross at this show , its basically a closed course with tight turns marked off in cones in the parking lot. Any participant could race their car or ride along with pro drivers from many of the sponsor cars such as Ride Tech and Spectre .The cars blast around the track with tires smoking and brakes too!,while the clock records their times. Mike and I begged and pleaded with several drivers to get Greg Duncan in one of the cars as they were gonna shut down early because it was soon to rain. Well we made it happen and he had a fast ride in a slick 68 Camaro,it had to be a thrill ! All types of cars and trucks raced from the "Ring Brothers" bad assed Mustangs to a crazy dude with a 30 model ford that was set up to drag race !

Goodguy Show Nashville

Hey all! Recently returned from the Goodguys Auto show in Nashville .Traveled with Mike Helton and we trailered his Nova. We were invited to stay with the Krueger family in Centerville, which was a lot of fun! Albert took his CJ Jeep to the swap meet in hopes of a quick sale. but it seems the economy is still holding many people back!The little Jeep is a cool ride, complete with a stout 327 and custom paint job.Someone is going to get a great deal on this 4 x 4 ! The show was great my estimate on the number of cars was 1000 to 1500 perhaps.
While at the show we met up with fellow Memphian ,Greg Duncan the owner of the "Blue Devil" a killer 69 Camaro show car . This beauty is absolutely fantastic,and attracts tons of attention!,and although it appears to be a trailer Queen ,Greg drove the car to Nashville,as he has to many events !We were not at all shocked when Gregs Camaro was selected as one of the top cars in the show, and was honored with a trophy from corprate sponsor,"Billet Specialties" for top muscle car.So congrates to Greg for being in the winners circle,or as he referred to it as the Weinners circle! What a cut up he is,and I believe he spoke to every person at the show!

37 plymouth update

The body has been mated to the frame,the engine is running ,the cool dash is mounted and the wiring is done .
The dash has been wood grained and part of it looks like a small log with growth rings on each end, how creative.Here's Lucky,Kinny and Olivia checking it all out .

1937 plymouth

Hey here are a few pics of the latest project from Mr. Lucky ! it got a 318 chrysler motor, power steering ,air and disc brakes ! It will have cool interior with two tone colors, wood grained trim and has to be a really nice driver .Lucky has done all the work to this ole clunker , he hand built the dash board and the running boards . Other nice touches that would probably go un noticed are the frenched tail lights and custom filler panels between the body and bumpers .Plans are for all the interior trim and dash to be wood grained,Lucky does that really well !Hope to be able to ride in it.

New art panel

Been working on a aluminum panel as a gift for Lucky Hanks ,Lucky is a source of inspiration for me he is so knowledgeable about building cool cars and fixing stuff the right way .The panel was cleaned really good then a grinder was used to rough up the surface in no particular way . I then shot several coats of clear urethane paint on it and then sanded it smooth. My design starts with transfer paper smoothed out on the edges drawn out then cut out with razor blades. Now the fun , spraying some candy color over the panel and when it drys I"ll pull off the transfer tape to reveal the design .the ground metal effect reflects light in different directions even under the candy paint which is transparent Then I'll apply the gold leaf lettering and the pinstripe and finally a bit of clear and shes done until i buff it out .Thanks Lucky ;Merry Christmas !
