1923 Ford T-Bucket |
This T-Bucket was purchased in 2003 as a basket case, Don and his son, Tyler, completely went through it, putting it like you see it. Running gear is a Chevy 350cu V-8, the T-350 automatic trans, and the 55 Chevy differential. The body is a fiberglass Bell body.

1937 Ford Humpback |
Don bought this '37 Humpback over 20 years ago. It was in the Photo Ad, without motor, grille, and hood. He dropped a 454cu V-8 in it and linked it to a Turbo 400 auto trans. He had to tub it out to fit the Ford 9" rear end and 12 inch rear tires. Hopefully we can follow it's restoration, this will be a really cool ride when it's finished!

1960's Dragster |
This Old School Dragster is from the very early 60's. It was originally built, owned, and raced by Jerry Glover & Sam Cook out of San Luis Obispo. Will Schuyler purchased it around 1961 and ran it with at Lions and Santa Maria Raceway between 1962 and 1972 when drag rules started changing making this car no longer qualify. It runs a Chevy 283cu V-8 with Hilbourne Injectors and as you can see had very little in the way of the safety requirements needed in todays rails. Don has been working to restore it to running condition, but it hasn't been fired yet. With Will Schuyler on the new Drag Strip Comittee hopefully we'll see a local drag strip soon where we can see this classic old rails like this give us exhibition runs.

1963 Chevy Nova |
Don's Nova is a recent addition. Now that the engine bay is good he is working on the body. Hopefully soon we will see it at a Car Show with a cool new Interior and Paint job. The Nova is set up with a Chevy 350cu V-8, a 700 R-4 trans, and a Currie 9" rear end. It is tubbed out to fit the 10" tires that sit on some mighty cool 17" rims.

1963 Chevy Nova Wagon |
When Don saw this Nova in 2005, he recalled the warm memories with his '63 Nova Wagon. He had his when he was a teemager. Since Tyler was about the same age he was at the time, he decided to purchase it with the idea Tyler would help him build it up. That they did, they pulled the original Chevy 283cu V-8 out, replacing it with a Chevy 350cu V-8. It still needs a few things, but with Tyler off at College there just isn't enough time in the day for Don to get to it all. Whenever Tyler comes home, he jumps in the Nova and off he goes. When will he help Dad finish it? Let's wait and see.
