1954 Chevy Panel Truck
I chopped it 4", sectioned it 3-1/2", rear pick up truck fenders, the rear barn doors are now hatch backed. Fatman front with air bags on all corners, 350, 700R, Trans AM rear with 4 wheel disk brakes. The truck came out of a 30-year sleep on my buddy’s farm. The truck was rotted above the front fenders on the cowl. They said I was nuts to fix it. All of the fenders, hood and grill were junk. I made molds from a good grill and now sell them. Don't junk them street rod them.

1957 and Race Car
I just got my fresh 57 from California built by Platinum Street Rods and the minute it arrived from Calif. in Canada my grandson was the first to get in it front and back. (bet he will be the last to stand in the trunk LOL). The race car shot was a feature at Aurora Ontario Cruise night. There is the sign in the car and the women noticed it and ran with it.

Pictured (left to right) are my friend's 58 Bel-air, my 56 210, and my other friend's 58 Impala Convertible. The Impala is a #'s matching senior gold class winner. The other two cars are pretty much stock. My 56 still has the original 3 on the column and generator. Those two features bring a lot of great feedback from the old timers.

Mike Landwehr’s 1954 Plymouth Belvedere
In the mid 60's I was getting to the age where I was interested in cars & girls and not in that order. I spent many weekends polishing my Grandmothers old 49 Ply 4 door, to try bringing back shine. One day I came home to find a beat up old 54 Ply in my driveway, radiator pushed 3/4 of the way to the firewall & auto tranny sticking out of the floor. I ran into the house to find out what was going on, dad said "there's your first car-fix it". This was at a time when our world was changing. My dad and I were at opposite ends of politics. That car gave my dad and I a common ground. We enjoyed many days working on that car together. 2 years later the project was finished and I received my license.

J Richard Kennay’s 1941 Chevy
Just a note to say thank you for thinking my 1941 Chevy was good enough for your to use on your web site. My friend showed it to me. The car cruises at 80 MPH just yesterday but I don’t get the mileage I want. I will have to work on that. The bugs are getting all the paint off in a hurry but that’s like. The only trouble I has was burning up the starter in Palm Springs. It was worth it all the fun I had there. It’s fixed and it got me back home.

Bruce & Linda Hoffmann’s 1962 Falcon
We purchased it about 6 years ago in Rochester, NY, from the original owner (no lie) that had forgotten to put antifreeze in the 170 engine and the block was cracked. The car only had 29k miles on it and is rust free. I put a mild 302/C4/narrowed 9" Locker in it with Granada spindles, disc brakes and all the proper Falcon V-8 steering linkage. With only 2785-lbs to haul, it runs pretty good. The car has dings and small dents and needs paint but I can't stop driving it long enough to do that work, it's just a BALL to drive!
