SOME RIMS FOR MY 1996 Mercury Cougar XR7

So I just talked to this guy who's bring me these rims & tires in the morning.
(4) 14x7 Reversed 100 spoke wheels (Chrome w/gold nipples)
- Roadsters
- (4) 15 hole universal adaptors
- (4) knockoffs angle cut
So I did a lil cut & paste on how there gonna look on the 1996 Mercury Cougar XR7.



1996 Mercury Cougar XR7

So I've been looking around for the last few months for a new daily driver to crusie my new baby girl in. I wanted an 80's lowrider but most of em were not truly road ready and I wanted something that was safe. So I started loking for early 90's rides & started digging the Mercury Cougar XR7, Found one at a dealer & test drove it in pouring windy rain,not the best conditions AT ALL.
But I made an offer & drove off with it any way. It's a V-8 so he never got any offers on it cause everyone is so gas conservative,Im like gimme that power! Time to get the thing some shoes!

JUST SAW THIS PARKED AT THE END OF MY ALLEY 1967 Ford Galaxie Convertible 390 V-8

So I get a call from my buddy Andrew who just left my house saying to walk to the end of my alley cause there's a Galaxie simular to mine. Low & behold this beauty is parker right on Admas Ave.. I left a note with my number after snapping this pic & it belongs to a great locals car collector. It's a rare floor shift model & this beast was immaculate inside & out! Wish I coulda snapped more pics to show the detail put into his car.

NEW RIMS FOR THE 1967 GALAXIE

So it took me awhile but I finally got my Astro Supreme Wheels!
And I gotta say the look sweet.
The look I'm going for is starting to take shape.
I also just had a whole NEW custom exhaust built & installed.
Getting ready to drop it a few inches & get the top & intertior re-done.
A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO Chris over at Superior Automotive.
They really take great care of there customers & do great work,without him this would be only 1/2 done

1971 HONDA CB175 GET SENT TO BE CAFE'D

So I got ahold of my buddy Jason who builds & races vintage bikes & he's hooking it up!
He fabricated a seat & some bars.
Rebulit & put in new forks & is going over the motor & every thing els on the bike.
I ordered faring & some new pipes.



Custom Seat

So I had this really great guy at
http://www.motofiaccone.com/
build me a seat for the bike.
The seat came out awsome.
Only problem is I'd need to cut out a piece of the frame by the tail & then re-inforce it.
So if anyone want to buy a killers custom cafe seat hit me up!


1971 HONDA CB175

1st things 1st. Take off all the crap on the bike & with a lil help from my friend Andrew get the lil devil to fire up.
Sounds good & everything is working fine.It fired right up! Time for a quick wash.Keep in mind this thing has been sitting for years.

So from June 2009-March 2010 I sent the ride to Superior Automotive in Chula Vista to handle all the motor work/brakes & pretty much a long list of things that were rebuilt/fixed replaced & re-re-placed.

About a month before I bought the Galaxie & in my search for a new car I came across an ad for this bike. I'd been wanting a lil CB road race bike for years after seeing my friends race bikes. So I picked this up. I've always had a knach for coming across cool deals.
