    Ah Vinsetta's Garage.....for some background, Vinsetta's Garage was once a working garage for nearly 99 years! It closed in the early 2000s. I have a picture of Lucy in front of it when it was still a garage store front.

    Vinsetta was purchased by someone from Road and Track magazine's Detroit office and they turned it into a restaurant.

    A TV show called VInsetta's Garage was on the old Velocity / Motortrend channel that was hosted by Courtney Hansen. It lasted a single season.

    Well after alot of Low Ball offers I've decided to KEEP the Bonneville !! This is a great driving car and look forward to many,many more!! Sold the 1963 Cadillac Convertible tonight! Alittle sad, but needed it to go.

    I picked up Black Beauty from the body and paint shop literally the day before I left for Power Tour. I will post pictures of her once I get a change to photograph her.

    I got home Saturday night from Power Tour. The Roadmonster needed an oil change (after driving 2100 miles in a week), tire rotation, a tank of gas, and a car wash. It got it and now she's put away in the garage mahal. I still need to finish unpacking the trunk. I took an insane of crap with me - JUSTA in case.

    Yeah I took everything! including the kitchen sink 2 years ago!!

    Well I changed the oil/filter on the 64, and then put in a driver side bucket seat that I had upholstered a year ago, that didn't turn out so good ! I'm waiting on another set that are at another upholstery shop that has done great work for me in the past! Hoping they will be done soon!! Drove the car around the block and everything ran great! Have to get car to my mechanic to put in new pass side ball joints, adjust coil-overs, and new front tires and then alignment! When new seats come then I'll install those and take car back to have floor mount shifter linkage hooked up, adjusted, and new floor shift steering column installed !! Just a few simple things !!🤑

    Well got my seats back and installed! Center console is in and new tilt column is in turned out pretty good!! And yes I'm putting it up for sale. Realistically will take $28k PM for more info and pics or check Facebook market place ( higher starting price ) but bottom line is $28k

    Well I decided to change the interior in my 64 Bonney! I'm going from bench seat to buckets! It started a year ago with a costly choice by me to give a new kid a chance to cover my buckets! and well he screwed one up and we parted company! Tried to work with him and explain do a good job and you'll have more work than you can handle! Lesson learned!! Was able to send back the one bucket that wasn't touched to Speedway Motors with No Hassel ! They were great and I highly recommend! So now I'm starting with Chrysler buckets that recline I drive the Hell out of this car and wanted some comfort and adjustability! I bought some "B" body bucket seat brackets off EBay out of Arizona and cleaned them up and don't you know the out side brackets bolted into the original Bench seat mounting holes !! Only had to drill for the inside tracks! I cut down the backs by 1 1/2" so that the top of seats would be even with the windows like the bench! I chose a 67-69 firebird center console and modified it to fit a GM Horseshoe shifter. I used carbon fiber material on my dash in place of the woodgrain (sorry but I don't like woodgrain in cars) I carried that onto my console with a carbon fiber wrap. I added a tach to the console and added blue led lights to match the dashboard and radio colors!                The seats are now at the Upholsterer's that I should have taken to in the first place. Here are some pics!
