Man, I can't believe how time gets away from me. My last update was in the first part of September and here it is nearly Christmas. Along the way I've been to a car show in Tunica Mississippi, a British car show locally and spent a few days at Cruizin' the Coast down Biloxi way.
You know what they say about all work and no play!
Here are a few pics I took.
This was a way cool slingshot dragster that was at Tunica. Wish I could post a video of it running. It sounded fantastic! I've got to get to a cackle fest one day.
This is a Pontiac overhead cam six that was in a LeMans. You don't see many of these old engines. Also at Tunica.
A 4 cylinder Cummins diesel with turbocharger in a patina '53 Chevy pickup. It was a very clean install with a Ford 5-speed manual. The owner claimed 30 MPG at interstate speed with the air on. I could get into a build like this for a long distance cruiser.
At first glance, this looks like just another LS in an early Chevy truck. What I found interesting was that the builder hid the coils under the tall sheet metal intake. I thought it was slick way to clean up the top of an LS.
These are some friends from Missouri that we met in Tunica 3 years ago and we've been saving each other parking places ever since. They have a beautiful early 50's Chevy truck. We bring the grill and Cajun sausage; they bring the generator and fans and we tailgate. I think they hang out with us for the sausage!Mike
I seldom do anything within the scope of logical reason and calculated cost/benefit, etc-
I'm following my passion
That's going to be nice, like the color. .
