Meet "Rex" the 1988 Mazda RX-7 FC. He's still running on a Wankel rotary engine and I intend to keep it that way, though if I do rebuild it I would love to street port and turbocharge it. (I'm a glutton for punishment.) Current upgrades are adjustable custom-built Fortune Auto coilovers, a hydraulic hand break (for more smiles per mile), and Enkei 92 wheels. This winter he will be seeing an overhaul of the suspension as the bushings are pretty worn.  Aside from my 2018 Tacoma, this little rotary is the most reliable car I own. It's certainly the most fun to drive out of my 3 other cars. They have a bad reputation, but if properly maintained and oiled, they are reliable runners.   ... View more

Here's another. It made a good excuse to drive to the beach this weekend. 🤓 📷  Thick clear plastic with water poured over it was used under the VW.   ... View more

This was a lot of fun to toy around with! This was my first attempt, in high-winds nonetheless. I learned a lot and plan to do a few more! I may even make a second attempt at this one when I can drive out to an area with opened blue skies so I don't have to edit the background. ... View more

A 1963 Dodge Polara 440 wagon may not be the typical platform that the muscle car realm encompasses, but it's from the era and has the brunt force and loud roar! I bought the car from eBay a few years ago after I sold my track-prepped Mazdaspeed Miata. It is from California, and the owner had it since he was 19. He was building it to be a stock car tribute, and I am keeping that theme. Ignore the 413 decals on the valve covers. The current 440 engine is out of a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner (Meep,meep). It has 4 Weber carbs with 6" stacks.  The  4-speed transmission is also out of a ‘70 Plymouth Roadrunner. Hurst shifter. Old Skool Doug's headers (that just saw a repaint last weekend).  The OEM fuel tank was located under the driver's side rear fender, so we pulled that out and replaced it with a Fuel cell in the trunk. A 4 pt. Roll cage with driver’s door bar was installed by a local shop, Thompson Racing Fabrication. It’s up on the lift now getting a bunch of upgrades for Hot Rod Drag Week, (whenever it may happen). Upgrades include but aren't limited to a Transmission rebuild, upgraded Mcleod clutch, and an NRA-spec flywheel. I also plan to cut the rear fenders for more wheel/tire space. It may get a solid front axle someday to make it an official old skool gasser, but that won't be happening this year! ... View more

I love stage rallies for the challenge of following the cars from stage to stage and getting only one chance to get a clear shot as they rush by. ... View more

One of my favorite motorsports! You'll see a lot of Subarus, of course. But basically any car can play. I've seen mostly stock Honda Civics (aside from required safety equipment) dominate stages. My personal favorites are the vintage cars. ... View more

LOVE this draggin' wagon. A great example of a stock car tribute. But I might be biased.  😉   ... View more

This 1986 Chevy C10 has been in our care for a few years, now. However, it's not going to remain stock and is currently slammed. (Vehicles never stay stock at my house). The main issue/repair was rust in the cab corners. Moisture was stuck in the inner walls of the corner due to a drain hole being clogged. ... View more
