Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

I am wondering if I'm the only one who also likes and or owns any old cars. Our bikes are mechanical marvels in their own way and many owners are probably drawn to other mechanical things such as old cars or mechanical watches. I like both and recently LaFong who is my friend and a great woodworker amonst other things made me a wooden watch mounted on a wood base that stands up on a curved wood strap. I don't have a picture of it but I will if someone is interested. I'm adding a picture of an old car I own that I was driving today, its a 1938 BUICK SPECIAL and is a ball to drive.

Squirm,
Don't know if it counts, but since giving up bikes and
trikes. I have a 2000 Plymouth Prowler with 14K miles.

All I need in my old age is good music and wind. You
would not believe the looks this car gets. It is fun.

Geez

I made a few of them for myself, my daughter and grand daughter. I thought I'd make one for my sponsor. Can't hurt to suck up a bit.

Some of my former builds:
1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe

1957 Chevy Nomad

1969 Chevy El Camino SS

56 Olds 88 for me.

The 56 Olds was my first car. I grew up as a poor kid in NE Oklahoma. At 16, I took a job on a wheat farm in North Central Kansas. Saved up enough money to buy the car for $50. Called my dad and told him I was buying a car, he told me I would buy the insurance as well. That was a $160. In another few weeks of working for the sum of $1/hour, I was able to add an 8 track tape deck for another $75.

Things have changed over the years, bottom line is I still have not grown up and still love all of my toys!

1967 Olds 442, 455, 4 speed, 4:10s
1970 Super Bee, 440, Auto, 4:10s

we've got some "construction" as a hobby,
but it is always fun to drive,

CCM Trike - I built it over 30 years ago,
Camaro SS - in my possession for 22 years, he is 40 years old
CMC G20 Van - is now 30 years old.

Not that old but it does it for me. 1987 W126 All metal Widebody with under 16k miles.

Here we are, at The Fongderosa, in our old 25 Model T roadster pickup, after a drive to the Christmas tree farm

You just need to lay in a big supply of putty and sandpaper
