Past Projects

In the fall of 2001 Ryan and I started assembling and modifying cars together.  All started in different forms, some from scratch, others from near full build requiring only tweaking and tuning.  Nevertheless, all of these cars have been ours… we have a tendency to go through a lot:  lots that never even made mention here, and some that I spent hours writing and thinking about.  It is some form of A.D.D…. really.  In the first few years after we teamed up, neither of us managed to make it through a single season with one car.  They came and went. Mostly it was because we liked to dream, but it was also partly because there was always someone willing to buy.  Cash just looks so good.

Note: These charts are for fun.  Don’t confuse them for us being hard core and bad ass.  Check it out.

You might have read about my trashed Hayashi Bombers: straight wheels that sat in a yard outside of Shizuoka for the past 15 years.  Corroded to hell and very ugly.  I’m currently also sitting on a set of Advan A3A’s.  The A3A’s were in pretty good condition.  The pierce bolts and inner shells were a bit corroded, but for the […]

Oops.

I am not a bike guy, but they can be awesome… especially ones of 80’s vintage.  Andrew found this 89 Honda CBR600 Hurricane… and I’m pretty excited about it.  I’ve never been interested in the latest high powered stuff.  Every bike I’ve ever found myself admiring, is vintage and probably slow… maybe being ridden by a guy wearing goggles.  This […]

Robots and Superheros

Yeah.  Like this…  And I feel good about it.  The sleeve was made from a 2L Co-op brand water bottle.  It was a damn tight fit… but I pressed it over the top of the original sleeve and plastic welded them together before hitting it with a coat of wrinkle black.  Extended the wire for the horn button and… BAM!  On […]

At the Grocery Store…

Is this a good idea?  At one point I thought so.  My double DIN stereo unit had a CASSETTE deck on the bottom DIN.  A cassette deck!?!  At one point I wanted to be nostalgic… but I’m not there anymore.  At least not in entirety.  I have a couple of single DIN CD stereo units that in some ways would […]

If I Could Play 8-tracks…

I was hoping that the “Long Boss” might be me… and not only my creation.  Not if I can’t weld any better than that though.  I can barely lay a straight bead on a nice flat steel joint.  I cannot lay a straight bead around a 2.5″ pipe. I like a close “handoru.”  Steering wheel quick releases are cool, but […]

Long Boss

The weather has been AWESOME. 10 degrees celsius in March is as much as we can ask for. I had so much planned for my AE86 this week. It’s been a slow time at work, midterms are done. My AE86 was practically going to be on the road again. But freaking ZJ got jealous and demanded attention. Lots of attention. Jeeps are […]
