We need a forum to show off our home away from home, our man caves, this guys garage. I will start off with my indoor junkyard. Originally speced out buy my wife. She is an understanding person with the addiction I have. I have a strange attraction to day two parts and oddball parts. Most everything I have built and hung with care. So here is a tour. Lets see yours. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2013/12/full-13800-8678-im000073.jpg

The red Dart is a 1970 Swinger. My grandfather ordered it for my grandmother. He did a lot of work for the local Dodge dealer. At one point Buck McCurry offered him a job with Chrysler and pap did not take it. I have the window sticker and original sales agreement. It is a 318. It was repainted around 1983 along with a new top and Pennsylvania classic tags put on it, which are now in my name. We have not used it in 2 years. The last time it was out My wife flipped the odometer over to 27k. It is a very nice running, driving car and will always be my grandmothers car. The 55 Chevy is a Two Ten hardtop, a mid year car with a mid year color of Navajo tan and india ivory. Also a mid year tan and whit interior.

I saw one a few months back. That was the first one I saw. It may have been on Ebay. Really cool I have a Holley tunnel ram carb that I had to contact them to find out what is was for. It never had a choke/holes in the air horn. My fascination began 3 barrel Holleys and cross ram intakes. I had a Mickey Thompson years ago. Always wanted to get a Smoke Ram.

If you are like me, you ran out of extra time and started building the real thing. I built around 40 muscle car models and had them displayed very nicely in a case that is all packed away in storage now. Building models really got me interested in cars and was part of the reason I learned so much about all the major makers and cars. That knowledge lead me into working at a drag strip for 16 years. Out of that I met many VERY GOOD people. Learned a lot about racing, built my own car and raced. Now I work on 3 other race cars, as well as doing restoration and performance work for other people. Model cars are a great place to start. You never know where it will lead you.

Here is a SUN 200 tune up tester I restored this fall after purchasing it used at the Monroe (Seattle) swap meet.(Strip, prime, paint, polish, plate, clean, wire, decal, caster rbld, top pad, clean lens, etc) very fun project and makes my garage scene,,,,the Hammered (Metalic SUN blue paint) was difficult to source. Funny material to shoot.

Awsome. I have a friend in Pine Grove with a 56 Gasser that is a small block former record holder he found and cleaned up. He has brought it to our York US 30 races at Beaver Springs. I worked there for 16 years and my wife currently works there. His car is blue and silver. Great piece of history. I have several friends that race at Numedia. The Mopar drivetrain is very cool. I live west of Harrisburg and find neat stuff, but it is getting harder all the time. GREAT STORY. Thanks

You most likely could have dealt with him. He has a parts business and runs a website called Classic Junk Yard.com. They made a cheaky Youtube video with the car in it. He is involved with there car club in Pine Grove. They have a ton of cool and fast cars. They used to rent the track and it turned into a yearly race date called the Jensen Mean Street race.

Rick,
The bezels that I cut had faded 327 foil inserts. The 327 inserts were removed and then I installed the SS427 inserts. I made the SS427 inserts and I think I showed them to you at the MCACN show along with the MOTION emblems that I made.

Tommy, those side marker bezel inserts were made by me. They were machined on a CNC, painted with black basecoat, the top surface sanded down, and then clear coated.

I hardly ever pick up any LOS Camaro Muncies. I do, however, come across lots of Norwood transmissions. I register every Camaro vin'd transmission I get with Camaros.org (http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=17jke841ldaohripchbum34jd5;www ) orphan list. If I have your 67-69 Camaro transmission, it will be listed in there.

Verne,
I'll check the 15 or so 1962 T10's that I have.

Not the garage but one of the storage areas. A little cluttered but I have a path in the middle.

Behind the tires are a few Muncies..
