The photo isn't from waaaay back, but the truck is. Technically, it's in the future....waiting...patiently.
It's been waiting for a restoration for so long, that you can get 17" truck rims again. Procrastination pays?

My friend took this pic of me on my 1983 GPZ 305 in 1987. I was 15. I tried tracking the bike down a few years ago and came up empty. After a want ad on Craigslist, I now have three of them. One is disassembled and some slight mods done. It will look showroom new when finished.

I bought it in 2005 and sold it in 2009. Now it's in a museum in Roxboro, N.C. The good stuff gets shipped FedEx with a Tracking Number.

in 1980 i got this 1968 SS/RS Camaro
i couldnt leave it alone, by 1982 it was re-done by me, paint, interior, and added a blown small block
I had 4 first gen Camaros two 67's a 68 and a 69 back then, looking for something different, In 1985 I built a Vega, first of 3 i had around that time
and this is the blown small block out of the Camaro
this car went thru two builds the first time with small tires, then I backhalved/caged it in 1990, ditched the blower and added Nitrous kept this Vega for a long time, raced it a lot too, started running low 11's and when i sold it,(1997) it was running 9.0's @150 mph, still street driven
my son riding shotgun, hes 30 yrs old now!
my 81 Malibu Built this in 1994, pretty fast for small tires back then also went low 9's at a buck fifty, 509" BBC tho
This is my race car built this one in 1997 and still have it
runs 7.60's at 180 mph with old school tech, its a blast
