Rocket Restorations

I dropped by Rocket Restorations in Olympia, Washington yesterday to say hi to my buddy Tom and look around his shop a bit. It was my first visit and I was not disappointed–he had some very cool stuff. Like an A12 Road Runner that was just about done (I would kill for this car). A beautiful freshly painted silver ’69 Charger. A Challenger SE in the middle of a somewhat challenging vinyl top install. A cool Dart GTS. A ’67 Satellite getting a fuel injection setup. A ’62 Dodge convertible that had received a ton of metal work. A few freshly rebuilt motors on stands. Tons and tons of parts. Oh, and his old Barracuda LeMons race car. These guys do great work, so if you are in the area and need help with your Mopar, give ’em a call. (Be sure to like their Facebook page, too.) See the rest of the pics after the jump!

1969 Dodge Coronet: Pro Touring Gone Wrong

Normally I try to ignore bad builds, but this “Superbee Pro Touring Tribute Car” is a real travesty. The wheels are awful, the modernized interior is worse, and just say no to the Chevy black engine bay treatment (with or without a moden 5.7 Hemi swap). Or am I being too harsh? Two pics after the jump, but be sure to check out the for sale ad at pjsautoworld.com
