The "Halo Bender" Project

I had been wanting to get a bike for sometime. One leather fire helmet and set of American racing rims in trade landed me a 74 Honda CB 554. I brought the bike up to my friend Scott in Torrington,CT and after some discussion he quickly set off building the "Halo Bender". Above is the basic final mock up. I will be replacing the stock bars likely with a set of drag bars. I'll be laying down paint and then returning the bike to Scott for final assemble. This is my first bike and I'm pretty stoked on the outcome.

Deadwood

I've always been a huge fan of Westerns. There seems to be no in betweens when it comes "good" or "bad" ones. A few years ago HBO launched a Western TV series Deadwood. I soon became addicted. i recently dug out all 3 season box sets and restarted watching the whole series. Fucking brilliant. If you like Westerns I highly suggest checking out Deadwood

Dodge D200 "the Blue Beast"

Publish Post

So maybe another project was the last thing I needed...... I'm gonna just leave this one as it is. She aint pretty and she is no hot rod.....but she'll pull down a house. "Old Blue" was originally owned by the US Air Force. She has a 318 backed up by a 4 speed with a Spicer rear end

The D Series was a line of pickup trucks sold by the Dodge division of American automaker Chrysler Corporation from 1961 to 1980. After 1980, the trucks were renamed as the Dodge Ram and the same basic design was retained until the 1994 introduction of a completely redesigned Ram. The D Series shared its AD platform with the Dodge Ramcharger/Plymouth Trailduster twins.

The body offered the then-traditional step-side bed, with distinct fenders as an option. As default, it introduced the first Virgil Exner-inspired "Swept-Line" bed where the bed was the width of the vehicle and the fenders were inboard, as can be seen in virually all modern pickup trucks.

The D Series used the familiar Chrysler Slant 6 engine in displacements of 170 cu in, 198 cu in and 225 cu in as the base models, depending on the year. (The 198 was relatively rare, available as the base engine only from 1969 to 1973). All of Chrysler's larger engines, with the notable exception of the Chrysler Hemi engine were available as factory options.

Another innovation was the introduction of an alternator rather than a generator for electrical power. A three-speed automatic transmission was a major advance - the truck used a two-speed automatic less than a decade earlier.

Yet another innovation, a "Crew Cab" (four-door) body style was introduced in 1963, a first for a factory pickup. Prior crew cabs were custom conversion jobs. A "Club Cab" was also available for 1973, providing transverse seating for either a single third passenger or two small third and fourth passengers (most often, the Club Cab was used as extra cargo space).

Hot Rod Fall IV

Its hard to believe but its year 4 for the Hot Rod Fall Out. Last year was by far our biggest year so of course this year we plan on a bigger and better show. Ian, Charlie and myself are being joined but our good friend Lance of Miltown Ink/Miltown Rods this year. I'm really looking forward to this years show. There is no other show like the HRFO and we plan on continuing to make better every year.

P.S. If anyone knows who stole the door pictured above @ HRFO III, we would appreciate it back
