examples of my insatiable need to modify and beautify, or just experiment
with automotive machinery --

"The Sled"
I bought this '69 Oldsmobile at
a car sale for $300.00 looking as it did in the upper photo, I only wanted
it for the 455 engine and the transmission. Anyway, being as how
it was so ugly and I figured it couldn't do any harm, I decided to cut
off the top and make myself a convertible to ride around in for the afternoon
before I removed the engine. Surprisingly, I liked the way it looked
afterwards, and it even seemed to drive better, so I just invested a little
more time, and built myself a turing car.

"Pernicious"
|
|
|
This is what I call a hood-full,-- 406 cid small
block olds with ported 6.6 T/A heads, balanced and dyno'd at over 425 hp.
Looks pretty stock if you don't notice the dual snorkel air cleaner w/
ram air.

Warming up on a cool morning,... You can get an idea
about the size of the engine, and cam by observing the amount of steam
coming from both sides, and the way it is released in puffs. It looks
innocent, right?,.. it would cover the 1/8 mile in under 9 seconds.
Rear axle was Buick Grand National 3.53:1 posi.

Here you you can see the correct color of the car,
and get a better view of the 245VR60-15 Good-Year Eagle tires. I
made my own machine to grind the whitewalls into the sides,-- on the right
is a photo of them with the white letters still showing.

"Corvette Eaterrrrrr"
Something I pieced together for
my girlfriend, This '84 Buick Regal Limited was modified from top to bottom
and end to end, it was the consummate "sleeper".

My personal driver for about
three years,.. I used this SS as a rolling test bed, in it's last incarnation
it was one of the fastest street cars in this area. It would break
both back tires loose (255R15 Eagles) at speeds over sixty mph on dry pavement,
and almost dropped into the seven second bracket in the 1/8 mile, in spite
of all this it still retained the stock ignition and carburetor, and was
very streetable.

Another one of my Monte Carlo's.
The car was reasonably stock, with a 355 c.i. engine, small Crane cam,
beefed trans, Corvette wheels, etc...
