MOTORCYCLES
Greetings Motorcycle lovers around the world -
The weather has been so nice especially on the weekends for cruising . I took out the ZX14R for a little fun . I just have to try to behave since it is real blast to drive.
Yoshimura had tuned the bike for me when I got it and it is set for 225 rear wheel horsepower and will easily hit 200 with the mods .
It is not as fluid at those speeds as my Busas but I just have to tuck and roll !
Stay cool / Tony

Greetings everyone
This is the seat that I finished for my 64 C10 truck

If you scroll through you can see the stock seat that I started with and enjoy the transformation .
I actually hand tuft the upholstery to the seat so it does not shift and stays really secure.

I hope you enjoy and if you need help with a project just let me know - Tony

ABOUT MY WEBSITE
Greetings and welcome to my site!
I want to say thank you to all the guys and girls in the Us and abroad who are checking out my site - I will do my best to keep it interesting for you .
My goal is to have a place that you can visit just for fun without being hassled with ads and general BS. I love to share the passion I have for all kinds of machines and if I can even inspire one of you regardless of age with a positive vibe and some encouragement then that alone makes it worthwhile !
With more than 25 years in the buy sell and build arena it is important to say that I actually started with my dad in the aircraft industry learning about paint, upholstery and eventually engine building which has served me quite well .
I do ALL of the work myself no matter what area and really love to put together or buy machines that are not only good runners and fun to drive but have major curb appeal and handle well and stand out on the road!.
The brakes , steering , suspension and drive ability are really important to me just as much as the outside and interior !
Please enjoy my recently completed RESTORATIONS in that section and of course my current PROJECTS in that section along with machines that I have for sale and I do also offer CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY SERVICES for a variety of machines 2 and 4 wheel .
If you have any questions or need help or information or even encouragement with a particular project dont hesitate to leave your information and I will get back in touch asap !
I would love to leave contact information on my site but with the ever growing spam , scams and other various nonsense - that is why I do not .
Thanks for visiting my site -

Classic Vehicle Market
So lets look at the general marketplace here in the US at this time 8/11/25 - Trucks from the 60s and up are really solid and are a great investment and there are so many styles and sizes that you can get in the game for maybe 5 - 10 k to start for something decent but you have to figure miles will be up there - no big deal if you like to tinker !
What some would call station wagons in days gone by are doing very well and that goes back to even the mid 50's and up to the 80's . Talk about something different to drive ! The funny part of it is that todays SUVs especially the bigger ones are just wagons that grew up literally ..
Mini trucks have always been cool as far as I am concerned and you see the 80's and up trucks doing pretty well and for not a lot of money . You can get the 2 or 4 wheel drive version and have some fun.
SUVS like the Tahoe are solid and dependable and with the LS engine will run for a while and do have decent power and of course are pretty practical . I have a clean 2005 as my shop truck and is in the dark blue and actually gets some love - go figure !
I have noticed that the high mileage luxury SUVS are getting hot and understandably so - you can look cool without breaking the bank - at least as long as it stays running LOL..
If you want to get yourself a machine just take your time if you can and try to find one that is sorted mechanically - a paper trail of work always helps of course . You can always do general clean up and for me I like something that has some curb appeal .
The little 5 - 10k cars are still doing well if you dont mind blending in so to speak although stand outs can be found if you are patient !
Thanks for stopping by and if you need help with anything dont hesitate to ask ./ Tony the Carguy
