Twisted Tavern Sept. 4/10

I was amazed at the many wonderful people, but mostly the welcoming hearts today at the show. Im humbled to have met many new friends and fellow car enthusiast's over in that area. Off course as if that wasn't enough i was able to visit the many cars on the parking lot with nothing but excitement. Met a few owners, cracked a few jokes, and became more excited when i was invited to the next car show..

Something Special

When I first got my GT a couple months ago it was mostly stock except for a few minor modifications. Over the next few years I plan on beefing her up to around 500 horsepower with a brand new engine and upgraded components to handle all of the power. I will either go with a DART block or the Boss 302 block for my engine swap just in case I want to go with forced induction either of those blocks would be able to withstand the pressure. Apart from the engine I also want to do a 5-lug conversion… Continue

"It's Cruising Time"

"It's Cruising Time" is the headline on the front page of our local newspaper today.

http://www.thetimesnews.com/news/cruising-36290-time-.html

If you were a teenager in central North Carolina in the 80's (or the 60's and 70's from what I hear), you spent A LOT of your free time "cruising" or "dragging" Main Street in Burlington. It was our way of showing off our cars, playing our music, hanging…

HOT ROD POWER TOUR

To start our tour Dan's Chevelle wouldn't start after lunch just 5 miles from joining the tour at the Chattanooga stop. I went to the site ahead to find help and found that they have medics to fix any problem within reason. The truck that follows the caravan seems like they have all you need to repair anything, including welders. Dan got the car started himself and then the medics worked on it for 30 minutes to find the junction box on the fire wall was never tightened. Free labor. They… Continue

I found this picture in JayLenosGarage.com (a great website for "car guys") and it just might be my car I drove in 1966! It was the end of my Freshman year in college and my brother-in law was selling it and sold it to me for $100. I went down to Sears and bought four new white walls, just like in the picture.

It had a red and white interior and could easily fit in six…
