A little pre-Christmas update

     We're a little short of activity right now since we aren't starting our build until after the New Year. Therefore let's add some pictures of some of the nifty rides we've seen around town here in Jax lately! 

We have this lovely hot rod:

Then there's this delightful Chevelle Wagon! Totally redone stock! Man I want one!

You're in the mood for some car slide shows you say?

Slide shows can be a bit tedious, but those are chock full of great pix & info. Enjoy!

Now for some more local pix. Here's someone's old daily driver. Still sweet even with a little rust!

Then there was this dandy Harley down at Lola's on King & Park St!

Car Shows in #Jax

     One of my goals here, besides building cool cars and documenting that, is to showcase & highlight all the cool car-related stuff that happens in Jacksonville. This past weekend there were 4 great car shows in one day! Big thanks to D.F. Buddy Harris, who hosts WWW.CARSHOWJAX.COM, for making all kinds of great information available. He also has a DJ business, A PRO DJ which I urge you to support. Here are some of the pics I took of some of my favorites from the various cruise-ins and shows over this past weekend.
