Hidden on an old avenue in Biarritz France we stumbled across this Retro Auto Shop filled with timeless machines. The owners were kind enough to let us shoot some of these well maintained gems.

The R8 Gordini was Renault's rebuttal to Datsun's 510 and BMW's 2002. You can still see a lot of these 3 competitors in many Vintage Rallie races across the world.

Took full advantage of a peaceful Sunday in downtown Phoenix to stir up the streets with Kristin's spunky energy. Add a group of easily amused friends, Phoenix Dappers, Arizona Cafe Racers, AZ Classic Motorbikes and Lawless Denim and you'll never have a dull moment. Thanks to Kristin and Damon for the laughs as always, see you on our next ride.

The Emporium of Post Modern Activities is home to the first US branch of Deus Ex Machina. Located on a corner lot in Venice Beach, they have plenty of room in the back for entertaining. Tammy Hilton and her team fired up the BBQ, cracked open a few cold ones and hosted the second Handmade Festival.
The Venice Street Legends filled the air with my favorite Johnny Cash jams.

Every year classic car lovers and hotrod builders gather in Scottsdale Arizona at the infamous Westworld, where they hold the annual Barrett Jackson auctions. With a slight breeze and temperatures in the mid 70's, there's really no better time to walk around and take in all of these works of art.

It's not everyday you get to see a 1932 Ford Coupe like this in the States, now catching one rumbling through the narrow streets of France is another story.
Robin Larripa has been disturbing the peace with the sweet sweet melody procuring from this 348 big block under the non-existent hood of his 1932 Ford Coupe.

Rubber & Iron picked up a nice little project to wrap up 2013 and get us ready for some 2014 adventures. This 1969 French Velosolex Solex 3800 moped was hidden under a WWII French Army blanket in an airplane hangar in Mesa Arizona. The client, CAF Warbird pilot Francois Bergeon, has always wanted to fix up the old Solex to cruise around the air field. Let's show him what we do!

Removed
the factory lower core support and replaced it with stronger square
tubing. We also did this to move it forward to allow more space for the
Ron Davis 3.5inch radiator core.
Measured the frame rails first to ensure they were level, then we adjusted the car's height to get the core support level with the frame rails.
Also took this time to box the ends Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015213759039857934.post-64538727571795627942013-08-20T10:10:00.001-07:002015-05-08T11:25:24.884-07:00Intensepower.com / Competition Clutch RB25 S13: The beginning
