Hopefully it will be done one day soon...

It has taken a little over a year, but the 53 Cool Concepts have run their course. Following is a linked list of all of the parts of the series.

This has been a lot of fun… now I need to figure out what sort of Sunday car fun I will start next. I did 101 Cars I’d Like to Drive and 53 Cool Concepts that I’d love to build… there is no telling what the next Sunday car fun series might be.

Mud4Blood time!

It’s that time of year again… Mud4Blood time.

Each year, for the last 8 years, the GBR4WD Club has hosted one of the biggest one day blood drives in the region for LifeSouth. The goal this year is to break 200 pints of blood collected at the event.

If you are a local car nut with a cool ride… whether it is a high-riding 4×4, low-riding mini-truck, rat rod, resto-mod or rad bike, or even something completely different… we have a cool show for you.

It doesn’t cost a dime to enter, aside from your gas to drive to Hooters in Kennesaw. We don’t want your money… we want your blood.

If you like to see the coolest cars and the coolest people in the Atlanta Metro area car scene, it doesn’t cost a dime to show up… aside from your gas. We want you blood.

If you want to have a shot at the HUGE raffle, it doesn’t cost a dime to get a ticket. We want your blood.

Do you sense a theme here?

It’s all about the blood drive, but the blood drive isn’t the whole thing… There are cool vendors offering excellent deals, too. And if you get hungry, it IS at Hooters… right by Cowboys.

It is coming… Mud4Blood8 will be held on May 28th, 2011 at the Hooters in Kennesaw, GA.

Each year, the GBR4WD club hosts this event, which brings together auto and 4wd enthusiasts from all over the Atlanta area. The reason for the gathering is a blood collection for LifeSouth.

But that isn’t the only thing going on… there is a GIANT car and truck show with everything from big 4x4s to low-riders. There are customs and restos. There are also vendor booths for all types of auto enthusiast needs… and food. Last, but certainly not least, there is a HUGE raffle with food and parts. Did I mention that it’s HUGE? And the only way to get a ticket for the raffle is to make a blood donation attempt.

Come out all day, or just squeeze over for a few minutes to donate a pint, get a juice pouch and some Nutter Butters.

And we can talk about cars… Don’t worry, I have a couple more Gwinnett County, GA, Market Reports coming out starting tomorrow.

I was thinking about project cars (as if I didn’t already have an all-consuming project in the garage currently). And I got started thinking about what one could do on a modest budget… maybe $5000… or less. And that led me to eBay, looking at potential projects with “Buy-It-Now” prices between $2000 and $2500. There were some interesting cars. These cars are currently available (as I post this) and located near Atlanta, GA.

1958 Chevy Belair 4dr. Looks interesting, but does have some rust. Excellent patina, though.
1959 Edsel Ranger. Seller says it doesn’t have any rust… and it looks reasonably straight in the 3 pictures on eBay.
1985 Chevy K10 4×4. Lifted on 35″ tires… classic mud truck. Love the short beds.
1957 Willys CJ-5. I like it. I had a 55 M38A1 (the military version of the same Jeep). Looks reasonable, but EVERYTHING is available for these things.
1971 Dodge D-100. BIG engine. Gotta love the 440. Florida isn’t THAT far, is it?

All of these bad boys need a little work… but they all have the capacity for coolness that separates them from the pack of boring cars that most people buy.

If you get one, let me know how it works out for you.

Guys! Valentine’s Day is Monday! Don’t Forget…

You might just want to accelerate and make plans for tonight. But, under no circumstances should you forget. Get your sweetie something nice, like a 40″ rolling tool cabinet or a nice socket set. Maybe she’ll get you something nice like a new bumper or a set of off-road lights.
