My Uncle Delmar made me do it. Then my two older brothers egged me on. And after we moved down to So Cal in ‘72 this 10 year old would be tested on passing vehicles on our yearly trip up the 101 and down the 5 to visit relatives in Santa Rosa. The Chevelle passes us up and as I watch the skinny tail lights disappear through the back window of the Country Squire, I’d yell out ‘68! I study the grille of the Impala following close behind and I know it’s a ‘65. Fast forward thirty years later and with a degree in Visual Communications and this artistic classic car enthusiast is living his dream creating art, design and yes even writing a word or two on the automotive industry. And with a couple of bit parts on My Classic Car, Chop Cut Rebuild and on the cutting floor of Overhaulin’. I’m very proud to share my passion for all things art and fuel with you.

Riff-Raff Gets Cooler

Project Riff-Raff’s 390 tends to run a bit on the hot side. Around 190°-210°, the electric pusher fan kicks in as loud as can be. One day, I noticed the fan quit working. Hmm, thermostat? Switch? Checking all the fuses and all I come to find is the motor went kaputz (sp?). I drove it […]

Another #KidWrencher Project While on a test run of his son Marcus’ ’66 Mustang, Tim knew something wasn’t right when smoke started curling up under the dash and quickly filling the cabin. He pulled over, shut off the key, popped the hood and without any tools ripped the ground wire off the solenoid avoiding a […]

Installing a Borgeson Power Steering Unit in Marcus’ ’66 Mustang 200 Coupe. “ It’s OK. You can blame it on me, your knucklehead uncle.” I tell Marcus. Marcus bought his first car; a ’66 Mustang in a dirt lot that is just one dog short of a junkyard. I walked around it with him and […]

Installing a New Alternator for Riff-Raff

It was time for a better spark. Since we are digging out all the wiring in the car, I thought this might be a good time to install a new Alternator. There are so many options out there. One thing I knew, is that I wanted one from someone who has been around for a […]
