Hi went to a block party today in Hutchingson Kansas and saw these cars around and chatted to the owners everyone is so so nice here , i was loving the ford truck which had a dipper flat bed , also the same guy is restoring this 1957 Bel-Air , and had one complete! then on the way back from his in the golf cart we got back and the fire department came by to show and tell the kids about the the engine really intresting and some lovely gold leaf lettinging on them it was 95F today slightly warm but i love it .will keep em comng hope you like these

Oh yes now we're talking....

you can see where they got the basic shape for the mk1 toyota celica with those pics of the torino

pro street truck, not really my thing but cool, especially if it's a daily


that old ford truck, what can i say... awesome! keir will love that!


Cant go wrong with a 57 chevy but fuck they will cost you!

the Hutchinson fire department look busy

i reckon your enjoying it out there mazo

that crusty ford truck is brilliant! Sounds like you're having an ace time

You`re right about that Torino/Celica link Tim, it was bugging me what it looked like until i read your post. I`d have the crusty pick up i think. I don`t think i could handle that heat for long though.

Gran Torino was a good movie, but maybe not as good as the car.....

Mazo,
If you stumble across a good sized Radio Flyer strap your bag to it & pretend it's one of those wheelie suitcases..........

I need another one to stick an engine in.........I can't really motorise my current one as it's for the kids really (at least that's what I tell Becky)
& I've got a few spare parts & some new ideas for another one I want to build

Hi there sorry for not bing in touch till now been busy learning etc.. hope everyone is ok here are a few more picture some of the college and there cars , and some of a trip into Wichita downton and saw all there cars everywhere thought you might like to see them !! if anyone did want anything getting that i could eaisly haul around please say just loving this place
