What I’ve been up to lately
« on: April 08, 2020, 09:18:31 AM »
I’ve been working mostly on big rigs lately with a spattering of race cars in there! Mostly Canyon type race cars..  Pete wrecker has been rebuilt now for the third time and this will hopefully be the last one!



Scratch built under lift


67 Shelby Canyon Racer




34 Ford Bonneville car named “Salt Lick”

All looks good.  But what is a canyon car ?  I own a Canyon pickup.

Hey John, a Canyon Race car is like a Pikes Peak or hill climb car. It can also be similar to a rally type

Thanks Bob! Will have to take pics of the Skeeter I’m finishing up too! Well a modern looking Skeeter. Not sure if it’s one or not...

You’ve been busy, Doc!!!  I’m really diggin the 34 coupe!!!  The truck and the Mustang are pretty neat as well.  Did you ever finish your steer car rig???  The Mustang reminds me of a replica I’d like to tackle when I’m feeling better.  I’d like to build the “Big Red Camaro” that’s on Facebook and quite a few episodes on Amazon Prime.  So far the top speed is just a tick over 260 mph!  It’s an evolving father/son project that’s evolving over 20+ years now...

Big Red is a bad you know what Camaro!!
Steer car itself is almost done. The tow rig you can see behind my Pete wrecker in the above pics... the “jeep” to that set is done!
My Shelby/Mustang took a turn on colors, i was going to go all black on it until I saw the “Ruffian” Mustang. Now it’ll be the green you can see in the foreground d of the one pic. The cap of the paint can is there.
