Units?

What kinda hookers you haulin with units?

When I saw Aerosmith in 1972-73 ? He was wearing a leopard print leotard with tail. And he was a screaming demon as was the band. Outdoor concert with, I think, Gary Wright, Humble Pie, others.

I think 59 is pretty much the pinnacle of the tailfins era. 59 Impala versus 58 or 60, for example. But what a boat.

Laughin'

The quintessential "Joo-canoe"..

That thing is as long as a whore's dream.

My first car was a 59 chebby. It always stood out in a crowd. Kinda miss that car. My dad sold it so I could afford my college entrance fees & first quarter tuition.

LOL.

Never heard that one before.

I enjoy these picture posts of your Dad's artisanship and his projects with cool cars, Higgz.
Always a welcome respite.

And I dig Huggy Bear's bell bottoms.

Let me know the name of your band.

Thanks man. Yeah, it's a nice break from some of the craziness around here and honestly, kind of a way to catalog and remember some of the stuff Dad is working on these days.

I've done a few gigs with a band called Walk On Boulevard in the last month. Old friend of mine and his 22 yo son put it together. College party band kinda thing. It's been pretty fun.

Guy in the cowboy hat is the real deal and has played with some big names. We used to have a country band called The Poachers until we all started popping out kids.

It’s great.

People with that type of mechanical ability, as well as the art of making things look good, always amaze me.

I’ve done plenty of work on my own vehicles, but to completely restore and fabricate things that need to be done is another world

Respect!

I'd just like to make a point of saying Dad isn't restoring these cars, just doing the upholstery.

The shops sending him these cars are a few hours away and do world class work.

The Aston Martin restos they are doing are doubling the value of the cars.

Pretty impressive.

Good to see a man that can still recite the classics.

Wow. What a ride. Silver is my color.
If that’s you in the picture, let me roast a fatty and buy you a beer. Pimp asz ride. Your pops
is skilled.

Lol….. a bit cleaned up but yeah. 2 in the front 3 in
back and a 100 in the ashtray.🤪

Oh yeah? I like music. Tell me via pm when you’re gonna go rock. I’m down. I’d be honored to see you
Jam the guitar. I suck at strumming, but I like trying 😂
No s hit. Let’s go.

They have a few things booked in the spring. I’ll give you a heads up.

Have a guy here that has rides like these restoed, he does custom frame off[?] on all of them.
He's a Chebby guy so most are 50's cars and late 40's trucks.
He also has done some others like a 47 Jag Mark IV Saloon.
Everything gets a crated Z0 engine/trans combo.

He lets me stroll through his garage on occasion, I just walk around in amazement.

He also has a 74 Corvette with 27 miles on it.

A 74 Vette with only 27 miles on it?

The guys pecker musta started working again! LOL

A former dealer took it home the day it arrived on the lot and parked it.
It was sitting in an old wooden shed.
The only issue was one wheel had some corrosion, old guy said he thought a dog of his had peed on it years back.
Just across the state line in West Virginia.
I went with his son to pick it up and haul back here.
It's crazy, original old yellowed labels still on the hoses etc

Family friend had an Edsal like that. Pa had parked it in a barn and ended up building walls around it. Sheetrock and everything, couldn't even see it except from the outside where a board had fallen down.
