Time got away from me and I totally forgot to send any swag to the Mopars In May at CSDR. @ocdart, I'm truly sorry Ken! Your show has been a labor of love for me for many years now and missing it breaks my heart. I either missed the annual thread or Mike's sponsor letter which trigger my...

I don't think he's joined formally, but Billy recently got himself a sweet '70 Duster. It's a reportedly heathy Slant 6 right now (13.60s or something) but his plan is to put a old style 426 under the hood instead. This thread is to show off the awesome work of Mr. Alan 'Al' Debevec of...

... but recent developments over the last few weeks have forced my hand. I will be charging a nonrefundable deposit on all new work from this point forward. This has been a published company policy on my website since the shop opened in 2007 ... but it has not been strictly enforced. It will...

Nine years ago today, faced with the prospect of continuing my legal career (by spending my life in the car driving two hours to Memphis or Nashville), I instead took a giant leap of faith and decided to try to turn a fun hobby into a full time job. It hasn't been an easy road. It also turned...
