    Cool re: Buffest 2011- The NEWEST Buffeast- Lamborghini/DeTomaso/SL300 Gullwing/Ghia and more.

    No snow and blizzard pictures this time?


    What an eclectic collection of cars, even some rare AMC`s. While most guys collect all GM, all Mopar, just muscle cars, or just exotics, he has a little of everything. Very cool.

    Unbeleivable work on some awesome cars.

    Great story and vehicles Todd. I wasn`t aware of these Detomaso cars. I knew the Valleluga started in 1965. The Sport 1000 seems to share the same headlight covers of the Vallelunga. Did the have a name or number on them? I need two sets or figure out what other vehicle they were borrowed from as typical Italian parts swaping goes.

    I can definitely see the influence shared with the Vallelunga.

    If it shares the same basic frame you know while your doing 80mph there is no outside frame. There is just a central torque tube.


    Its great to see this kind of work. I don`t have help but I find solitude in turning up the radio and working surrounded by nothing but fine vehicles. Great collection. Great work sir.
    One day I`ll get to do my own car.

    Thanks for another awesome write-up.

    How long did it take you to recover from that? I think I might have to be in traction for a week to get my back straight again after that many hours and days leaning over a polisher.

    And why is it that you are off on a 2 week "vacation" and not working on getting the new BF products out to us? Get back to your job, man.

    How`s the jaw?
