Antique & Classic Cars Blog

A friend of mine with a ‘62 Buick Skylark called yesterday to say the Coen brothers were filming in Minneapolis this summer and needed cars from the 1960s as background vehicles. He was sending in a shot of his car–good choice Joel and Ethan, if you ever see this site–and suggested I offer my cars.

Though mine are too new–the ‘69 MGB GT would pass notice by all but hardcore MG enthusiasts–once the conversation turned to my garage, my buddy had to give me some grief for not having the TR6 done.

On that note, here’s the bracket started below, all painted and ready to keep my battery from wandering into the engine cavity on a hard stop. See T.V.–I am working on it! Hope readers are nudging things forward too now that you can hold a wrench outside without the bones in your hand hurting from the cold.
