Some gearheads here wanted to see some shots of my old stuff.... Here's the 1949 Willy-Overland Jeepster... Should have crushed this one when I had the chance, but, continued on and finished it...finally. Got 3rd place on Sunday. If anyone is interested I'll post the other cars, too. Pvt. Michaels  |

Neat looking car Mikey. I can see why you couldn't put it through the car crusher. Great job on the renovation! Yes, we want more photos  |

Who would CRUSH such a thing??!! I'd have cried oil upon hearing that happen.
I saw a very nice Porsche 356 at a Costco parking lot the other day, it looked like it had its original paint job still on it. I see lots of 1960s 911s around Vancouver, even saw a 1970s Ferrari Testarossa one time. Saw a Lamborghini Countach for the first time recently as well, man is that a head turner, think it stopped traffic. Saw a Ford Model A down the street from my apartment about a week ago.

Nice Jeepster! I want to see the Buick. A '58 Roadmaster is a car I would love to own. Actually I'd like to see all of your resto projects. Pics like this make me really miss my old convertibles  |

OK, here ya go! This is a 1958 Buick Roadmaster that has only 38,000 miles. I bought it in 1989 with 33,700 miles. It has never been restored or painted. Interior is nearly perfect. This will probably be part of my 401K plan....!...It runs and drives perfectly. Pvt. Michaels  |

Very cool... amazing that it is still in such great shape..
there is an auction this week end about a mile from me.. the old gentleman is selling off about 20 old cars.. most all of them are in very poor condition.. but I bet the car restoration guys will be all over it..

Here's the latest one.... It's my "stealth" bomber.... It was special ordered with the HD 455 Stage 1 motor and Custom trim with Riviera wheels.... 49,500 miles when I found it last October in Sheboygen , Wisc. I like to cruise and find BMWs at stop lights and blow their doors off... Pvt. Michaels  |
