| Dan and Mary Dowdy own this Custom Car shop. The Texaco pump and sign came from her Grandfather's new service station he opened in 1921 in Colorado. She brought a lot of his original things to Arizona 15 years ago. |
 |
| Camero and a Chopped and channeled Studebaker in progress |
 |
| Very pretty Chevy. |
 |
| 37 Hudson Terraplane Pickup. Dan and Mary built this for themselves. The Arias engine pumps out over 1900 hp! Gets 4 mpg in town diving, 8 or 9 on the highway. Usually hauled to shows, then driven there. They have put about a 1000 miles on it. Will only run on racing fuel, so it's pretty expensive to drive. |
 |
| Lots of custom hand built metal work, but everything works. Electric doors and windows and hydraulic suspension |
 |
| Combination work shop, garage, antique center and gift shop in this room |
 |
| Coke machine and cash register was in "Grandpa's" Station in Colorado |
 |
| This is what the Hudson looked like when they brought it home |
 |
| Nice ghost flames. It's more red and the orange color in this picture. Probably the lighting effected the camera |
 |
| Extra fine upholstery |
 |
| Another project. Dan and Mary do it all them selves. Lots of customers from Southern California and Phoenix. |
 |
| 45 ford has a Cadillac engine, it's getting new running gear |
 |
| This 56 Chev is scheduled to come in to the shop soon |
 |
| Entrance to the business. There is an old tow truck that was bought new by Grandpa. Still in good running condition. They have turned down some unbelievable offer on it. |
 |
| Pat and I made a new friend today. We really enjoyed talking to Mary. She took this picture. Actually, we were on a Harley test check out ride when we decided to stop here in Dolan Springs. |
 |
| Big engine for a small bike. It was just tuned by one of the best. Now pumping out 90.52 pounds of torque, and got over 50 mpg on this 91 mile trip. |
 |
| Before going home we stopped in Locomotive Park where Octoberfest was going on. |
 |
| Several bands scheduled to perform during the afternoon and evening. |
 |
| Waited around to hear this band, but the crowd was so noisy you could hardly hear the music. We did have a brat with sauerkraut. |
 |
| The end. Well, not quite |
 |
| Design on Pat's Joe Rocket jacket. We ordered gloves to match, should be in soon |
 |
| Nice hat. This guy had an early start enjoying some German Beer :-) A good day. |
