As a street rod enthusiast, I built the Tinker Toy, a Model T sedan delivery, and drove it to the Street Rod Nationals in Tulsa, OK. Tinker Toy was featured in the April 1977 (6:4) issue of Street Rodder. I built the space-tube frame and hung the cantilevered front suspension. (coilovers inboard and Fiat spindles and power discs). I fabricated the cab over a T-bucket body using fiberglass over plywood. The radiator was mounted in the back and vented through the tailgate. The original paint scheme was pearl burgandy laquer over lavendar cobwebbing.
Engine: 427 Chevy rat, 6-71 GMC blower, Jahns pistons, TRW camshaft, dual Hollies |

For fun, I built a dune buggy powered by a USAC midget engine. The family enjoyed running it at Silver Lake Sand Dunes Area in Michigan and in the hills of eastern Kentucky. |

I transitioned from building street rods to a full time business of 120 Jag restoration along with other vintage cars.
