Old & New

Well, here they are...the old and the new. This didn't fix my problem.........

Why Reinvent The Wheel?

So I guess that some of you have clued into the fact that I like old stuff. Junk if you will. Well the truth is, I do! I especially like when I find something home made or "garage built" as the hipsters like to say. So what does a guy do when his wife hands him a tin plate printed with a clock face and is asked, "Honey, would you make me a new clock?". Well a good husband goes into his shop and takes a look around for needed parts. A random unwanted clock will provide the guts, but what should he use for a back?



A quick look up on the shelf and the perfect solution is found! Why reinvent the wheel?



This is more than a cool old clock it is a period piece of home grown ingenuity and was sold at an estate sale I held last weekend.

Hockies of Torrance

Just another sample of the clutter in my life. Why do I keep all this junk?

Zundapp

A guy stopped over at the shop next door today riding this cool Zundapp. I had never seen one of these before but I now know that I need one. Anybody got one in the garage they want to get rid of?


Look how cool the gas cap is!

Flat Track

So my neighbor Tom used to race flat track back in the 60's and 70's and I like talking to him about his racing days and motorcycles. I asked him if he still has any old bikes or racing shit and he, like all old racers, told me he got rid of it years a go. I don't understand why people do this. Anyway he stopped by my place today and showed me something he found in the bottom of a box in the garage. That's a picture of him on a TrackMaster Frame calender. Too cool!!!!

Snoopy Was A Vanner

Who knew that our old pal Snoopy was a Vanner?!!!

Paint Can

I was digging through yet another still unpacked box looking for something and I came across this great can. I forgot that I had it. The picture is a little blurry and it really doesn't do it justice. The art work on the label is beautiful.
