Car sitting for fifteen years? If he hasn't been paying for storage I'd start the abandoned vehicle process. If he cares about the car, he'll come move it. If not, well, time to put it back on the road.

"hello yes I want to report an abandoned vehicle"
"okay, can you give us a description"
"it's in my garage, and my uncle owns it, and I want it"
"um"

Long story about cunts basically.

I drove (a riced up, tired and filthy) one of these at work a couple of weeks ago. Kind of a warm jolly sort of performance, like a fat guy waltzing.

One of the mechanics at work and I have been sort of seriously looking at buying and building an old bobbed deuce and a half just to do it, something about gigantic industrial trucks converted for impractical use just pushes the right buttons.

there were a couple springs pulled out of the front to lower it. probably the biggest tire that would fit.

Some other stuff

timing gears on a giant cat V12. costco card for scale

rolls royce at an industrial auction

So shiny. So chrome.

Root Bear: Nov 15, 2004; DARKEST SKETCH

Been pretty busy at work lately. Here's a few highlights in no particular order:

1957 Chevy Bel Air 210 Station Wagon:

1973 Porsche 911

1967 Chevy Caprice

1970 Chrysler Newport Convertible

About a year ago, we checked out a 1960 Chrysler 300F for a brake/suspension rebuild. The owner finally managed to bring it in a few weeks ago, here it is getting the finishing touches:

On the rack next to it, a rather dusty 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL, fresh out of storage. Gonna be tearing into this one next week:

Remember that high mileage VW from a while back? According to the owner of this 2002 Hyundai Sonata, its only had its engine replaced once and has otherwise never been tampered with aside from routine maintenance and repair:

Fixed the brakes on this thing with new front wheel cylinders.

Put a fuel pump and new oil after 4 years of sitting

Saw these three on lunch one day.

Put on exhaust gaskets meant for the correct motor and tightened down all the spark plugs. One was so loose it moved everytime the engine turned over. Sorry for the photos there from my iphone.
