Updated Photos - My cars
























































Here are some relatively recent shots of the cars currently seeking progress under my care. You'll note: 1. My (non)expertise with the camera and 2. The difference varying shades of light have on the car's appearance. The wheels are a new provision, as of late last summer, from Centerline.

Included are shots of air dams I made during the winter to aid in forcing more air through the radiators on both my Chrysler and a friend's '48 DeSoto.

The pics of my Chrysler - with red wheels - were sent to Street Scene Magazine last year; the top photo to the right of the air dams appears in the current - May 2009 - issue beside an article I wrote concerning its reception by a public unprepared to see me driving an almost-finished vehicle.

Middle left are two photos of my '48 Olds; winter projects included sand blasting the front chrome off the grille and bumper, filling numerous rust holes, and primering the finish.
Right and below show the Chrysler - in a fairly-faithful color reproduction - resting comfortably inside on its new wheels, one of the first editions of this style.
