    Same here. Although not a dyed in the wool MOPAR guy, be cool to have hanging over my '65 'Cuda.

    And this is a Kustom with a K. Easily one of the top 2 Kustoms ever built. After restoration

    Interior is now complete. Eddie Martinez did awesome job!

    Looks awesome. Martinez did the interior on my friends Riviera a few years back, beautiful white T&R. Don't have any great shots, just these.

    Boating……What Sparked Your Interest 😎

    My grandparents retired to Bullhead in '61, thats when we started to go to the river. Dad bought this boat from a local fireman in Signal Hill who built them on the side. This was #12 and was the last one built. Still my all time favorite boat. 1961on the beach of what would later become...

    No, to be honest I didn't know it was still on. Cool they mentioned the race though.

    1963 Salton Sea 500

    Did a quick search and I don't think this has been posted before but I might have missed it buried in other Salton threads. So many great boats and names from my childhood. Very cool and unusual twin outboard at the 10:30 mark, give or take a few seconds. Great look at its engines mounted...

    Help identifying...

    I think you might be right, Nordic. One of these popped up on FB market place last week. I saw it (looking for one more build/resto for my grandson...he's 6 so I have a little time) and forgot about it until this hull in question. Not much to go on as far as pics but the dip in the gunwale, the...

    So Cal Performance Boat Builders?

    In all fairness Jim went into hiding after being shot at for I think the second time. His biz died then. Bahner went into seclusion back in the late 80s. We finished rigging his boats for his customers at Advantage. We also layed up Scotton's hulls at Advantage and I believe they did them for...

    I picked up a DVD the other day

    Big fan, saw it when it came out and saw pt.II at the dome in Hollywood. BIG Bruce Brown fan and his son too. I think I have all their stuff on either VHS (Still have a deck at the river house) DVD and even 8mm of the early surf stuff. When I was a kid my dad was in a car club, they'd have a...

    What the hell is this...

    Reminds me a little of some work we did one Winter at Rogers. Always doing some project, at most shops I worked, to keep busy in the slow months. We were given some plans/blueprints of parts needed to transform an American Helicopters into Russian ones for the film Red Dawn. I have no idea what...
