1979 Horizon TC-3  4-speed

The first brand new car I ever owned, was this 1979 Horizon TC-3  4 speed, 4 banger, with custom wheels and Goodyear Wingfoot tires. I got T boned later on and it went to the bone yard.

1980 Suzuki 850 GSL

I owned this 1980 Suzuki 850 GSL for 10 years and a lot of miles. I also crashed it 3 times, none of which was my fault. It still hurt! Satisfied my need for speed at the time.

1988 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z

My 1988 "Bluzee" Dodge Daytona Shelby Z Turbo with a factory high performance computer, Center force clutch, and lowered. I installed a 1100 watt custom competition stereo system in it. I won a lot of sound off contests with this rig. I always tuned for quality of sound, not bass but, it could still uncage your eye balls!

 I kept the engine compartment detailed. It was my daily driver and had 140,000 plus miles on it when I sold it to buy the V-8 Vair. Folks didn't believe it was not garage kept. I got more speeding tickets with this car than anything else. The State used to write me letters even!

1993 Dodge Shadow ES

This is my 1993 Dodge Shadow ES, 3.0 Liter V6, 5 speed. This car was deceptively quick. It was a good road car and I put a lot of miles on it. I sold it when I bought my truck. I could embarrass a five liter "Moostang" if he wasn't paying attention.

1996 Dodge Ram

This 1996 Dodge Ram was my daily driver and tow vehicle for my Corvairs until August 2007. It was a reliable vehicle and most people didn't believe it's as old as it was. Unfortunately, age was it's downfall.

2007 Dodge Ram

The old 96 Big Red Dodge finally let us down for the last time so....  It got replaced!

  This is my new 2007 Dodge Ram half ton pick up truck. Damn nice unit! I snapped a few photos the first day we had it before I started accessorizing. Gotta make it mine ya know! I especially like the rear seat fold out package area. I liked all of the add on's my old truck had so I set about doing the same to the new one. The first thing was the Line-X spray in bed liner. A fellow at work had it done to his truck and I really liked the way it looked so I did the same. While I was doing the bed liner I found a neat add on called an EZ down for the tail gate. It lets the gate down nice and easy. And, no drilling, it uses the existing holes and hardware.  The next item was the bed cover. I wanted one that was light, secure and could be removed if need be to haul tall items. I found an all metal folding model which was exactly what I had in mind. It took about three hours to install and again, required no drilling.

Next was the Gibson Super Truck side exit cat back exhaust. I had the same system on my 96 and I like the mellow tone at cruise and bellow at WOT! Hey, it's a Hemi and I want to hear it bark when I step on the loud pedal. To go along with the better breathing  a K & N  Filter Charger cool air kit was installed.

After looking at the wheel openings, I decided to go with the stainless steel trim to give it some accents to go along with  the 20 " chrome wheels. I think the Dodge factory optional wheels are the best looking wheels of any truck.

Obviously, the stock grille had to go so I sprung for a heavy mesh polished stainless piece. It maintains the aggressive look of the truck. Of course I always remove most of the factory badging because I like the smooth clean look but, I had to display a Hemi badge somewhere. As you can see it's on the grille. Kind of like the old Chrysler 300 series.

The interior was the usual gray and brushed chrome plastic  but the addition of a walnut burl wood grain dash trim kit jazzed it up just right. It was an easy install, however, you better be sure you have each piece exactly where you want it because the 3M sticky stuff is industrial strength! The opening for the heated seat switches , which this truck does not have, provided a perfect place for my electric trailer brake control and the CB radio. Also, I had to fab some brackets to mount the twin antennas.

Last but not least by any means are the Hammer Three Train Horns. Yep, I said train horns! Three nice chrome metal trumpets and a 200 PSI air tank with its own compressor. Can you say LOUD! I call them the "get your head out of your ass" horns. Works well on those left laners from Ohio and drivers with a cell phone stuck to their ear!

That BIG HORN on the tail gate means something now!
