Postcar galore?

These cars are all for sale on moparts.com right now. It's quite unique I think, because these cars are getting harder and harder to find and if you do find one, it's probably in a "original condition"...in other words, it needs total restauration.

I like the color of this one. This is my favorite Mopar color on these old ladies especially with that tan interior. Really nice.



This could be Red's little sister, only with ugly wheels





If I could, I'd buy this one and drive it like it is. Love it...

Front-end alignment is finally done

Brought Red to the alignment guy yesterday. He said to pick up the car next day in the morning so I arrived (too) early. A nice moment to take some shots of Red on the hightech, 3D alignment apparatus. She feels and steers like new!




Tilly (Flyin' Dutchman blog) and Robin passed by to take a look at my new wheels. You won't find a two-wheeler on my blog that much, but Robin's so cool. He has a great eye for detail. Check out the paintjob on the gastank:



New Mopar Action Magazine

Always nice to find the newest edition of Mopar Action Magazine on you doormat. More and more I'm beginning to consider ending my subscription because this edition is (again) stuffed with modern high-tech crap. I don't want turbo's, I don't like turbo's...I don't want tubular frames...I don't want 17" chrome rims...I don't want new generation hemi's stuffed in way too cool cars. Please, GIMME SOME REAL NO-NONSENSE GROUNDPOUNDING STUFF!I want to see survivors, factory light-weights, Max Wedges, superstock racing...aaaargh...

Wheel theme...cont'd

OMG again...Antoon's Challenger is nearing completion and we mounted the wheels today. This is the best shot I could make with my phone. I think it looks awesome...

Got the rearwheels back from paintshop today (thanks Davy). OMG this turned out exactly how I wanted it. It looks awesome...The only thing left to do is get the frontend aligned.

Richard Petty dirttrack Savoy

Marcel send me this. I don't know if this is a genuine Petty car or not. Could be...Look at the stance of the car. Does it lean over to the left?

Futurama?

This car is really nice (stole pictures from Moparts). I hope my engine-bay will look like this in the future...(expect from the stupid stick ofcourse)


Obvious

How obvious is this?

And now...something completelly different...

Well...the first car I ever owned was a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle. So, this explains the origin of the video below. It's aircooled. I will always have a weakness for 911's and Beetles. And this video is so damn cool (onboard cams just are). Crank up the volume, put your nose on the screen and enjoy.

Half-way there

I decided not to paint the frontrunners. The structure of the wheels is very fine and I like the details on 'm. I can always paint these...

Rearwheels are at the paintshop right now. Hope to mount them the next week. Looks nice huh? I sure like it...

It's always nice to get presents and it just felt like a delayed-christmas unwrapping the boxes these nice set of wheels arrived in. 
  • American Racing Torq Trust D's are 15x4,5
  • Wheel Vintique steelies are 15x8
The only thing to do is paint 'm...

Memories

I was browsing my picture archive and came along this shot. It is by far one of the best shots of my ol' bird...I sold it to a dealer in Germany and lost track of it...Hope some-one has fun with it. Was a nice ride...



Here's another nice shot. You don't see this too often in a country where vintage american cars are a rare sight. From left to right: 1969 Satellite, 1968 Roadrunner, 1969 Roadrunner, 1968 Roadrunner. This was a tribute formation at a wedding for our good friend Davy.
