T-Net Vintage Car Show

[Cruisin]

I spotted a thread about TreasureNet members old die cast cars. Why not post pics of our real cars? I know a lot of members have some nice vintage cars.

I'll post some photos of mine as soon as I shrink the file sizes.

My son would love for you to do that. He is 15 and cars, girls, and video games are all that matter to him right now.

My Father just passed in January, this was his baby!! He bought it when he was 16 for 50 bucks. My grandfather kept it in storage and when he passed my father rebuilt it. 1934 Ford coupe cabaret, dad checked with Ford and there are only 6 left titled in the U.S. He never got to put it in a show so this is for him. Oh yea this is an original Ford made convertible thats why its so rare. Thanks for looking. BIGHEAD

Bighead, that's a gorgeous car! It's a very special thing to have a car that's been in the family for a long time. Are you going to take it to shows & cruises? That would be a nice memorial to your father & grandfather. That Fury in my photos (the tan car) was purchased new by my folks & I got my license in it in the 60's. My cousin shows the pickup truck our grandfather bought in the early 40's. Every time I take the Fury out I think of my parents. I'm pretty sure they're riding shotgun!

Here's a few of my "toys"

This Ford is absolutely beautiful! Here is a Toronado we finished a few weeks ago. The pics are from a shooting for a magazine...

Here are some shots of a project that got out of control. It started with a 82 Fiat junker that I picked up for the wheels. Then I ran across a 88 Thunderbird turbo coupe. That is when I lost my mind. I had to pull the sub frame out and turn it around, put in a steering rack, make my own steering arms and the radiator ended up in the trunk. Since the motor was such a pain to install I went through it. It has 5.7 eagle rods, probe pistons with total seal rings. I ported everything. This turned into a three year project. I did the body work but paid to have it painted. Many hours of modification, experiments and do overs. The only thing I have not hooked up is the speedo. I don't know how fast it really is because I got nervous in third gear with two more to go. This is the last of many cars I have done over the years. This one is very streetable, just ask the Porche Carerra S that I left in the dust.

Restored the 57 Nomad. Had it for years. Sold it and my 29 Model A Coupe is the next project.

Well no need to show off the Hoopty I drive now (when starts) but going to change all that in Time and get a Camaro or Firebird most likely maybe a newer GTO if I can.
Here is my first car A 1970 Chevelle Malibu 350 2 barrel. It had been bored 30 over and had upgraded Heads and trans had heavy duty clutches. No power windows or locks and had manual drum brakes. Took a pic out of the photo album and made 2 versions.
Last I heard it was riding down the 1/4 on rear wheels. That may make some frown but car must have felt like a Warrior!
Love that Cuda and 442!

Here's my baby it's a 1951 Riley 4 door sedan, yes it's a British car. I sold it a few years back as I didn't use it much here in Maine because of the salt on the roads. The other car was my wifes which is a 1931 MG Monterey Midget which raced at LeMans and there are only 7 left in the world that are still running. We sold that when we left Ca. to head to Maine. Those where the days when we could drive them in Ca. anytime.

Wow! I'd love to see more pics of that MG. A mere 44 originally built with only 7 or 8 surviving. Rare, rare, rare!!! Beautiful car loaded with history. You are fortunate to have been its caretaker for a period of time.

Have you been to the MG museum in VT? Or should I say, Is it still there?

Sorry to say I haven't but we know the frenchman that started it but he's dead now. His name was Len Gogan (sorry abot the spelling) great guy and he was also great at selling parts. I will post more pictures of the MG when I scan them in tomorrow
