Dart Sport Dodge meets Joe Dirt engineering!
This was a parts car "Hemi" Jeff got for free that we left bereft of all useful parts. Jeff snagged the disc brakes off the front!!



Yeah, I made brackets to hook up to this trailer A-frame thing, and drug the Dart Sport off to the junker!

CRUSH!!!

Greg's old '50 Dodge



Sombreros
How to beat the swap meet heat, and have a shit load more fun doing what you like! Greg bought four different sized and colored sombreros, and we had the 'tres amigos' (There was only three of us). Greg had to pick out the smallest one he could, we picked out the other, normal size ones. Amazing the reactions you get from people. Everyone was smiling, laughing, and yelling in spaish at us. It was great. I'm glad this is the only picture we have of us being huge dorks.

The great 4 speed Swap-O-Rama


Yee haw!! I got a free Aspen Wagon (converted-ble!) with a great running Super Six and Overdrive A-833 four speed. All it needed was an ignition module. We thrashed it around for a week.


The "redneck limo" is gone. With the drivetrain (removed to put into my '68 Valiant), disk brakes (swapped in junk drum brake spindles), and rear-end (swapped in another junk rear-end), wiring, etc yanked, it was worthless. Then we threw on the garbage. It was a '77 Aspen Station wagon convertible with 18 wheels/tires, 3 hoods, 7 doors, 2 propane tanks, a 396 intake manifold, dual A/C compressors, and a whole lot of other junk piled high. Tied it to the back of Greg's truck, and hauled it off. We got pulled over 30 seconds after leaving the house, on the way there, and the cop told us it was illegal to tow it like that. We said, "So should we just turn around and drag it back to my house? He smiled, shook his head, and said, "I saw nothing! Be careful!", and zoomed off.
