Ferrada FR2 Wheels Install

The day that I choose to get the wheels mounted onto the Challenger was October 31, 2018 and it was literally raining all day. The 20 inch wheel and tire combination was so wide that I had to put the tires in the bed of our Avalanche and the wheels (out of the boxes) in side the cab area.

Sunroof Decal Install

Hot, muggy summers can bring about significant growth issues in your greenery enclosure. While summer fungus–such as the scandalous fine mildew–might not be specifically deadly to your plants, it can bring about compelling scourge that spreads quickly and quickens fall lethargy. What’s more, if left untreated, scourge can at last murder a plant. Try not to give growth a chance to assume control …Read more

Suspension Rebuild

Anyone who has driven an A-Body GM vehicle knows that they sorta float all over the road as suspension technology was not what it is today. I started ordering parts from Summit and local parts stores so that I could completely revamp the suspension for a smoother rider.

To replace the rear axle bushings, the entire rear end had to be removed:

With all new bushings, ball joints, tie rods, TRW springs, and Monroe Sensatrac shocks, the entire suspension is re-installed.

455 Cubic Inch Rocket

In search of more power, I went down to the local salvage yard in 29 Palms, California and was able to pull a 455 Cubic Inch Rocket out of a 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado. My buddy and fellow Jarhead Mark Jawonowich drove me in his Dodge 4×4 Pickup to get the motor back to my home in Cathedral City, California at the time.

When we arrived at the salvage yard I was a bit confused because the motor still had the front wheel drive attached to it and I had no idea of what that looked like prior to this moment.

The motor was as grimy as you would expect but no worries, plans were to completely disassembled and hot tanked.

As if I knew what I was doing at the ripe old age of 21, I started tearing down the motor for two reasons.

I intended to build as much of this car that I could myself

Paint Removal

Turns out that the paint job performed in Tiajuana began to just flake off everytime I washed the car. this became frustrating so I decided to just remove all of the paint.

At this point the car looked like a battleship with the cheap over the counter aerosol primer.

Installing the Trunk

So I decided one day to dig the trunk out of storage and put it back on the Cutlass. Those darn springs however are very difficult to figure out. This project has been sitting up for far too long and in desperate need of some attention.

AutoRama 2018

We trailered “The Vintage Pearl” down to the George R Brown Convention Center to exhibit at AutoRama 2018. As with every year, the cars and trucks that you see at this show are simply amazing.

We lost a lot of both production time and budget due to the fact that just one day before setup we had burried my mother-n-laws husband whos death caught us all off guard.

Our both theme this year was that of a gas station and attendant but we did the best with could. Our usual multi purpose mannequin “Fred” was used as the attendant and as we were cleaning and prepping the truck, we kept thinking he was an intruder in the booth.

We ended up winning 2nd place for “Restored Truck” in our year bracket which wasn’t too bad for our 2nd time out.

We setup some of our company trade-show truss system as a peremiter around the truck which turned out to be a big success.

Our presence was graced with the wife of the Original Owner Mrs. Mary Joe. After drinking beer all weekend and telling the whole story of the truck to spectators and fellow exhitibors, here arrival was highly antacipated. Though in her late 80s, this firecraker is as sharp as a whip.

We were quite pleased with our 2nd place finished but after reviewing the 1st place winner, we quickly realized that we did not stand a chance. This truck was so clean you could eat bacon off of the engine compartment.

Pickup Day

We (Wifey, Walter and Myself) headed out late one evening to Dallas, Texas to pickup a 1990 Nissan 300z N/A that I purchsed from an online auction. The weather was a bit rainy and when we got to the hotel, we had a difficult time parking the trailer which Walter had borrowed from another veteran.

We were a little disappointed to find out that Intake Manifold was sitting in the front seat but I really was not a big deal since the whole intentions of buy the car was to do an LS Swap anyway.

We met with a Locksmith who was able to make us 2 keys.
