Had a chance to stop by Jeff Becks house and look at his Hot Rod's and Corvettes. Fast forward the video to 8 minutes.

loved everything about the video!
Nice to see that Jeff gets right into the cars , and seems
to know what he is doing!

Mike Smith

Cool! Knew he was a real car guy, didn't realize he was a real "hands on" car guy.

He was the subject of some TV show a few years back where he talked through his cars and showed them. Can't remember what show it was, but it appeared that he really was a Motorhead.

Love his music, too.

I'm pretty sure it was "My Classic Car" with Dennis Cage.

Mike Coletta on this forum built the silver '59 Corvette restomod in this clip (which has the same silver color as mine). It's at 11:58 minutes of the clip...with a glimpse at 10:00 minutes

It was at Greg Wyatt's place for a while, now it's overseas. Small world isn't it...!

He would love to know who made the frame for that car. If you can find out let me know.

Very cool video... thanks for posting.

I lived in the UK for 5 years, glad you hit it on a nice sunny day!

It was neat seeing hearing the normal "guys look at cars stuff while wives giggle and talk girl stuff in the background"... seems like we are all the same, all over the world.

WOW......Jeff Beck owns one of my cars!!!! Thanks for the catch Stan!! It still has the "plaque" where the wiper motor was that has my name on it. Pretty cool. I traded this car for 20 acres of land next to my house to a local real estate broker. He sold it to Greg, and apparently sold to Beck. It has a 21" tv in the trunk, that spins up out of the tire well. Beck says in the video that it was a "no hit", but what he doesn't know is that it was a pile of junk.

It has one of Billy Dawson's frames ...Corvette Correction. One of the best on the market..

...and Billy is one of the "good guys" in the business. Here's a link to his web site.

I've had that car in my archives for years...I'd know it a block away. As you know, it was very hard for me "not" to go black with my car...but this one was always on the list (color wise).

These pics are one of the reasons why I chose the Mercedes silver when I finally decided at the last minute I just couldn't go black. (...I actually had a "very" bad dream about black that night...lol!)

It was a great color choice...it always looks nice! Swirl marks, smudges or imperfections just don't exist with this metallic silver like they would with black paint on smokin' hot Texas summer days.

There is no telling how many times I flipped over to this one to check something out
before the color was decided for sure...

Spoke to Jeff, he was excited to find out about the history of the car. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. The TV show was a Meguiar " Car Crazy" show that Barry Meguiar had. There are 2 parts on Youtube, but very little video of any of his cars. I wish I had more time to shoot more detail of the Vettes and hot rods. but I was on a tight schedule, exhausted and shot the whole video with my small Sony. The two 63 splits are interesting. One is a survivor and the other is a retromod. I really did carry Muncie parts in my carryon from Florida to London. It was a fun shoot and trip.

That was a great video, fun to watch, and I learned a lot.
Thanks 4Speeds.

Hey Mike (Coletta)!
Maybe its time to take a trip to the UK to see your old masterpiece!

Great video.

Nice to see that Jeff is a hands on guy vs a guy with money that just buys cars.

4speeds
