Our New Project: 1964 Dodge Dart Hot Rod!

Our Projects: Jamie Buys 2-1/2 More Cars

To no one’s surprise, my latest purchase is approximately 2-1/2 Triumph Heralds. I say 2-1/2 because there are two body shells, one completely restored frame and drive train, and three additional engines, as well as many boxes of new and… more»

What Color Should We Paint Our MGA?

Our 1970 Dodge D100 Is Up For Auction!

Since listing our D-100 for sale we’ve had a lot of nibbles, but no bites yet. The main obstacle for most prospective buyers seems to be the cost of shipping. Unfortunately, we can’t control that aspect of the sale…. more»
