Jackpot Garage

Hot Rodding is my mistress. My life is forever shanghaied by a passion for old tin. My connection to old cars is a bridge from modern day to days gone by. The car is something that exist simultaneously in the present and in reflection, a portal if you will, to whatever era you relate to. For me the connection to the past is something that I enjoy, the working by hand, the collecting, the connection with people who are victim to the same addiction. If your into the joys of motoring, come on in.

Darrins' '32

I find it hard to find the right words to explain this car. Cars like this are pure art and character. I was told that when this hot rod was built the roof was beyond repair, and a 32 Chevy roof was palced on the rest of the 32 Ford. Its a damn nice car. The Sidewinders Car Club in northern Cali. is full of stunning cars. I'ld like to see more of them.
