no it's not a T bucket, yes it's steel, and yes I built it in my garage...paint and bodywork by Nick O Teen, Interior by Downtown Willy. The Sling started as a '27 Chevy Phaeton or four door rag top.

Like eating my childhood

My '34 coupe...

I have never showed this pic to anyone, or scanned it until now. It was taken in '65 at a track in the Washington DC area. Built and raced by Dick Hobbs, who owned a local Sonoco station. 1951 Chrysler Hemi, LaSalle trans, Packard Dana rear with 4.11 ratio. It supposedly ran a 10.89 ET according to Dick, who I bought the car from in the 90's. He flat towed it out to California behind his pickup and it sat in his garage from '66 until I bought it. He actually fired it up and drove it onto the trailer(without brakes.) It's dissasembled now, waiting for me to get to it...

FXRP

Just scored a nice 87 FXRP. After stripping over 40 pounds of live to ride mirrors and saddlebags from it, rebuilding the carb and detailing the motor it's starting to look good. This is why I'm selling my Sportster. Althought after riding the sporty yesterday I still am having second thoughts. Maybe I need to start turnin tricks

Virgin Killer for sale

This has been the best running and handling bike I've ever owned and I've had quite a few. It's a '93 which to me is better than a new one, it's still a carb, no EFI, it's got the trap door trans which means you dont have to split the cases etc. It's got about 15,000 miles on it, and runs better than new. I have done extensive mods to it, some are obvious, most arent. It has a dished gas tank with custom paint and real gold leaf, mooneyes gas cap, frisco mounted. Custom handlebar risers w/ drag bars, panhead levers with remote Buell Master Cylinder, Old Gold Garage Cobra King seat with hidden rear mount(only one like this) Old Gold Garage points cover, cut rear fender with 60's sportster struts and taillight, chopped sprocket cover, 21" front wheel with Avon Speedmaster, vintage oil pressure light in headlight eyebrow, Old Gold Garage domed CV carb cover, velocity stack, benchmark breathers, Jetted and tuned, custom exhaust by me(just ceramic coated since pics), sounds insane. relocated coil, choke, ignition switch. Shaved fork legs, with fork gators, lowering kit in front and short shocks in the back. New Kevlar clutch extra plate kit from Energy One. Gold Leaf by John Glaspie who used to paint Dragsters and Funny Cars in the 60's and 70's. starts up easy every time and has never left me stranded. split lanes...
It can be seen featured on HERE...and coming soon to Outlaw Biker Magazine

Zap comics #0

I'm lucky enough to own Zap #0, 1, 2 and 3...original pressings. My dad bought them when he was an illicit drug using dippy, in the far out 60's and gave them to me as a kid. I'm sure this had plenty to do with why I turned out so wrong...if you don't know whats up with Zap, you need to look into it...paging Mr. Natural....
