Bunk Beds

The SPEEDWAGEN "vintage tin rescue team" had to intervene in a situation to protect this 50's chevy truck bed from befalling a fate to horrendous to talk about. Equipped with our new S-10 flat bed conversion unit, the red rescue truck took advantage of the cover of darkness to deploy the rescue team into the strike zone.FLIP-FLOP-SCOOT & STRAP, and the bed was securly mounted and headed to the safety of the SPEEDWAGEN motor complex. Another successful mission for the SPEEDWAGEN defenders of "TIN"

Bird Land

It must be T-bird migratory behavior. These things keep landing behind the shop.
Wrenchette Patty has her eye on the Red Bird, I think she would like that one to fly to our house!

The SPEEDWAGEN crew made the journey to Maxton N.C. for the Land Speed Racing event.The pics above are of the VW's that were at the event.
The Bugs were a part of the "36 HP Challenge".The Ghia was a competition class car. It was a good time, and it looks like great place to break in the SPEEDWAGEN
Here are Wageneer Scott's pics from Maxton

Flying Shoebox

This is what I would save my money for when I was a kid. The "Hell Drivers" would be at the state fair in the summer. A ticket to this event was a must, along with a trip to the Midway, to see the Motorcycles in a barrel ! ( don't waste your $ on the hoochie-coochie shows kids ).
Plus you could get a tattoo from an old carnie for $10.00
Life was good--and getting better!

World Finals Star

This Crosley Wagon showed up at Bonneville for the World Finals this year. Who needs an HHR, when you can point this cool little rig toward the floating mountain.--Eat your heart out GM

The We Haul Special

The Mother of Invention strikes again! We need to haul some body components around that will not fit in the bed of the S-10. So the Speedwagen Imagineers built a flat bed conversion insert. Every S-10 owner should have one of these handy Gizzmos.
