The resurrection of the "Witchcraft"

Have a great summer...

fo sail...

1947 Pontiac Torpedo coupe, 350/350, Nova IFS, disk brakes, and rear end. The skinny whitewalls and black steelies are what come with it, the widewhites are gone but the wires are up for negotiation(only two). The motor is a newer rebuild and has lots of power, the brakes work great! It could use a 'glasspack or a muffler, it currently has a turndown right under the pass compartment, kinda loud... I drive this car around with no problems, it is registered and up to date, and insured. This is a great start to a beautiful automobile, I on the other hand own too many vehicles....

Betsy, a short look back..

Cadillac lowered "4+ inches with 13" wire wheels = lower control arms gently kissing the ground when the tires flex = not drivable...

I'm back....

Took the Cadillac to Ruben's Tire in Santa Paula for a good old fashion spring heating. This takes about a half hour and nothing has to come apart and it's very reasonable(about $60 for front/back). Ruben Jr does this and he has been doing it for many years. I had him take it down about three inches, I have to rearrange the rear air shock lever before I can do the rear. I'll be down there in the next few weeks, so it's coming. While he was torching, he told me that back in the day, they used to lower a car EVERYDAY! That's a lot of lowriders, where the hell did they go? I had Betsy done there back in '96 and she rode just fine for eight years with a great ride. If you live anywhere near Ventura county, why not stop and say hi to Ruben and have adjust your springs while you're there, there's no reason not to....

Thanks for posting!

To whoever posted the polital garbage on my blog;

I appreciate your passion for politics and our current leader. Not enough young people take an interest in our leadership. I guess that's why we are in this current state of kaos in this country....People like you who have nothing better to do with your time than hack automotive/motorcycle blogs to further promote your foolish political views. Similar post were found on blogs by friends of mine, none of which appreciate or agree with the hogwash you are spreading. For those who didn't see my blog yesterday, some renegade blog hacker decided the friends and fans of "D-smoke's Diamonds & Rust" might enjoy some liberal nonsense and a popular picture of our country's most controversial leader ever. Thanks you for the thought, however...I do not agree with your political views and would never sponsor that man's face on anything I own or subscribe to. No hard feelings, but please do us all a favor and keep this nonsense off of our blogs!!!!

Love always,
D-smoke

Off to Santa Maria!

Beatnik Blowout

Just a few random shot I stole from somewhere of the show, great show, especially when the sun showed up.

Good Monday morning...

Just some random shit for you to point your face at for a minute....

Looking good holmes...

Jordan's Triumph is almost ready to terrorize the world, looks good brother! Now get it out of my "livingroom" and ride that thing!

Gasser dreams....

This picture reminds me of our shop. Gave up the apartment, the shop is much more beautiful to hang out at and get some shit done, you'd be amazed at how much more productive you become when you don't have a house to lounge around in....

Whitewalls....

SHIT, another project.....

Life is about to get real simple so I can get all these projects going.....

Garage

Went to pay for a VW bus this weekend, cool stuff happening in his garage......





He had this '56 parked in front of his house one night and it got rear-ended by a drunk driver and pushed into a light pole.... and the sedan is getting juice brakes and a drop axle...
