Have you ever wanted to recreate a picture of a past car you owned? With Photoshop and some effort it can be done. When I was eighteen I bought a stock 1955 Ford Customline, but it didn’t stay that way for long. Very shortly it had a four barrel carb installed on the 272 V8, a floor shifter for the three speed overdrive, dual exhaust and coils cut for a 60s style dropped front.  Sadly I didn’t keep any pictures of the car but by using Photoshop I was able to recreate the 55 and the memories…

Back in October of 2010 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a new set of

standards for crash safety, raising the bar for the coveted 5 Star



rating by a considerable amount. Initially some 2010 models that did

crop of vehicles designed with the tougher standards in mind are



doing much better. See the bottom of…

Reds Auto Salvage by Hugh Dudley (a short story) C2010

The old saying "You can never go back" is true in most senses, but not in this case. You see...when I was just a young teenager building my first car, there was a place called Reds Auto Salvage....or just Reds for short. He had all kinds of neat stuff dating back into the late 30's and that made it a wonderland to a guy like me. Old Red was kind of a grumpy type fella.....if he didn't like you,... you were doomed, but if…

Yesterday turned out to be a great day for a car show, little windy, but the sun was shining on the beautiful cars. There was 236 cars, all Mopars, now does it get any better, probably not!!.....Challengers, Chargers, Coronets, oh my!!!!!.....red, blue, green, orange, pink, fushia, plum crazy, they were all there. There was an amazing Fury, purple convertable, boy was it pretty. I'm a huge Challenger fan, and they were there plentiful. New ones and old ones. WOW!!! The swap meet was busy,…

The Mopars are the best, they have a great swap meet, car corral and just a great show. I am going again this year and would love to see more people from other Mopar clubs there.

Run 4 the Sun Cruise to Ocala

Figured I would throw out a lil' info about me and what I love to do. I started my motorhead years at the young age of 5 when I worked on my brothers Ford truck , well...I slipped the fan belt on anyhow haha. And eventually got the smell of burnt rubber later on in his roller motor fox body...better than a roller coaster at the time lol . As the years passed I purchased my 1st real car, a 1965 Ford Fairlane 500 with a 289, that I punished beyond belief when I first got her...considering it…
