The Letter "C"

This week's alphabet photo challenge is the letter is "C".

My photos this week were all taken at the local Father's Day Classic Car Show.

The parts I photographed may not all start with "C" but they were all parts of Classic Cars.

I love the shapes and look of so many of the old parts.

And, isn't this orange beautiful?!

The reflections in this hub Cap are really Cool

This is one of the lights on hubby's Classic 1965 Volkswagon.

We drove it to the Car show.  :-)

How about an old fashioned Cooler?

A beautiful truck bed for Carrying Cargo.

No "C" in this but the fancy paint job Caught my eye.

This Car was interesting.  It was Covered in super detailed artwork honoring lost musicians.

This Cupid was my favorite.

Curves.

Curvy door handles

Not sure if this photo has a "C" but it Could be a Chevy.

Check out the Cute, Curvy Cab on this awesome truck!  

I'd love to have a vintage truck someday.

I love the paint job on this one.

So many great Cars to look at and photograph and dream of having.

But, of Course, we could only look but not touch.

I thought this sticker was Cute...

I love going to Classic Car shows.

This one happens every Father's Day in Murrieta, California.

It seemed to be a lot bigger this year.  It was so much fun!

Buggy Transformed

About a year ago my husband decided that he wanted to get an old VW Bug to fix up. He ended up with this 1965 Bug. It was definitely not pretty but it sure was a good candidate for a project!...



He gutted it, cleaned it, did a lot of little detail body work, primed, sanded, sanded, primed again, sanded, and did I say, sanded? I can't believe how much sanding and attention to detail he did on the body. Then, he painted it himself! Wow! He installed rubber insulation for sound dampening. After that I helped him install a new headliner. That was a lot of work and it turned out pretty good. Yay! We re-installed all the windows with new rubber. Whew! That was challenging! He installed new carpet, recovered and installed the backseat, installed new front seats, seat belts, new trim, bumpers, etc., etc. He did way more than I could possibly list. He still has a lot of little things to do on it like painting the wheels, get hub caps, install running boards, etc. But, it's so exciting to see it coming together that I can't wait to show it off for him.

After a year of hard work...lots and lots of elbow grease...it's been transformed! This last weekend he started it up and we got to take it for a test run. Wow! It's amazing that this is the same car!



Here's before and after pictures of the engine...



I've got one happy hubby! :-)


I think the transformation is incredible. I also think it's really cool that he got many hours of enjoyment working on it and the end result is a cool little car. It's also a great example of recycling. I love that!
