Mike Burroughs unveils his latest build: A 1928 Ford Model A Hot Rod with a BMW power plant towering out of the hood. What better way to celebrate than by kicking up dirt on the El Mirage dry lake bed.

Unreal, you can get 1955 Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing for $7,000! Yea we agree this is a far cry from the 7 figure price tag one of these could probably bring in but we are talking about a 1 of a kind solid wood hand sculpted replica. Honestly though with all of the man hours, working hinged doors & craftsmanship put into this you would think it would have sold for more than $7k on ebay.  This is a pretty cool spin put on a 300 SL or any car for that matter. The Gullwing has working doors, a wildly detailed dash, and even a set of matching wooden luggage (presumably filled with hand-carved underpants and toiletries). The front wheels actually steer (perhaps the wheels even roll?) which will make getting it into your office of living room much easier. The seats appear to be real, so it should be a comfortable place to sit in and just enjoy all the teaky, gullwing goodness.

This was done a couple years back but that doesn’t take away from how bad ass this truck is.  They made a 55 f-100 for Sylvester Stallone. It turned out pretty sick, all matte black, huge wheels. They hacked the crap out of the roof to get it chopped but it still turned out cool. See the pics below!

There are thousands of possibilities when restoring or upgrading a car and it can be easy to be a little overkill, but when done right you can really create something special and unique.  I agree that there is still a very firm place for all original numbers matching cars, but for the rest of the old beat up muscle cars and old classics, why not give em some new life and hook them up West Coast Customs style?

Girls on Bikes:  Yes or No?

what do we think about this? Just when guys think they can’t get into any more trouble, this pulls up next to you on the road. Faced with a choice… what do you do, haha.  This one is questionable, but girls and classic cars i believe is a definite YES.

Evolution of the Ford Mustang New vs Old

This is a very cool image of the changes that have taken place to the silhouette of the Ford Mustang over the years.  Honestly for me it is very hard to be drawn to anything other than good ole number 1!  Maybe its the classic side window louvers or the slight raise in the hood, but this clearly stands as my top choice among classic or late model Stangs.  They really got lost in the middle around the late 80’s early 90’s and are starting to come up with winners as of late.  One can only hope that we are soon to see the a retro look Ford Mustang, similar to the likes of the Challenger and Camaro.  Seems like a simple formula for success seeing how it has had so much in the past but I guess Ford is trying to continue the evolution of the Mustang to things we cannot even fathom.  I look forward to seeing/owning Mustang for years to come!
