New York’s High Line

admin — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:39:10 +0000

The High Line in New York City opened last summer to critical and public acclaim. One of the most unusual and stunning new public parks in recent decades, this abandoned elevated railway running through lower Manhattan has been transformed into a public pedestrian greenway. Designed by James Corner Field Operations, with Lisa Tziona Switkin serving as lead designer, as well as architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, this remarkable urban transformation was spearheaded in 1999 by Robert Hammond and Joshua David, two residents of the High Line’s Chelsea neighborhood.

Jensen 45 Steam Engine – Restored 2

admin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 00:25:08 +0000

Jensen model 45 Steam Engine, electric fired, made at the beginning of the Korean War (1952).
This is the only model made by Jensen in the “Candlestick” configuration and for sure they will never build them again. Mr. Jensen sr. didn’t like this engines too much, with a round heater and with the crankshaft going through the boiler itself, they were difficult to build,.
This particular engine is one of the few to have a brass boiler so I am very lucky.
Due to the war in Korea, brass was used for the war effort and was scarce. Because of that, the majority of this Jensen 45’s were made with steel boilers. Steel, water and heat is not a good combination so most of them are now rusted and no longer working.
This brass boiler engine was completely restored and it is working fine now. No leaks at all.
I was trying not to be so hard on the new paint so I was using only 80 VAC.
Heat inside the Heater came up to 230 degrees Centigrade, terrible hot; the boiler came up to 110 degrees Centigrade.
Enjoy!

[50 Cent]
I’m a work of art
A ghetto version of Mozart

Chorus:
[50 Cent]

I’m classically trained nobody do it better man
I do my thang with me and my beretta man
I got that girl you want her come and get her man

Hook: x4
[50 Cent]
Call me the piano man

Verse 1:
[Tony Yayo]
Cartier glasses Cartier belt,
Cartier watch tell me time somewhere else.
Like Germany Sweden and Serbia, nigga one or two birds and i’m servin ya.
I’ma ball like Julius Erving Iverson and Manning,
I got that cannon in that two door phantom.
Nigga hundred EX suicide doors,
get a top or low fade now the body lookin hard.
This snake niggas is reptiles,
til i shoot em up and fill em up with projectiles.
Yay’ got the best styles Yay’ got the best clothes,
Yay’ got the best weed Yay’ got the best hoes. (Yeah!)
[Chorus]

[Hook] x4

Verse 2:
[Lloyd Banks]

Fresh out the rimshot my wheels tick-tock,

My charm truckie that’s why they wanna me,
207 McLaren body like Bucky.
Old head get rusty and i’m a can of oil,
and if hip hop do die a 100 grand’ll boil.
Show up at your bougie event give your body harm,
slide you all over the stage like Omarion.
Don’t need a party calm on the pepsi and bacardi bomb,
bail ain’t nothin i make a Gotti bond.
Magician I can make a dollar flip,
stick a whole Corona bottle in a model chick.

[Chorus]

[Hook] x4

Verse 3:
[Young Buck]
I’m richer than a muhfucka ridin in a dirty phantom,
we kill undercovers down here we can’t stand em.
Fill up the door panels and stuff the floor boards,
i can fit a hundred in a Honda Accord.
Blood of a drug lord brain of a baller,
hand of a hustler i’m all about a dollar.
Everybodies a customer nobodies a friend,
somebodies gotta do it anybody can win.
If I did it then I can do it now,
when we get em in we can ship em out.
A Gucci briefcase dressed in a suit and tie,
Cartier’s you can tell that I.

[Chorus]

[Hook] x4

1951 GMC 5 WINDOW PICKUP For Sale Drager’s Clasics 206-533-9600

admin — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 11:19:10 +0000

1951 GMC 5 WINDOW PICKUP. #5429. 228 straight 6 cylinder GMC engine. 4 speed floor shift transmission. Neat old PU. These are fun drivers. This one lived in Idaho I’m sure all it’s life. It was a real farm truck. This is not a show rig in any way. It’s been around the block or should I say the farm. I bought it in southern Idaho and you should be the 4th owner. It looks like original paint. If you go to the photos you can see on the hood where the paint is rubbed down to the primer. The body is very good, not beat up or rusted out. The underside has never been touched as you can see in the photos. Has a steel plate in the bed. The interior is so so. Seat is good but it’s white, so it looks stained. The dash looks the worst. The engine runs well and the transmission works fine. I have driven it about 60 miles and I would drive it anywhere. It’s geared low so even though I drove on the freeway I drove 50 to 55 MPH. You can re-gear it for freeway driving. Old School Garage did the service and safety check and did not find any thing major. Drive it old or restore this PU. Cond. # 3-.

1953 CHEVROLET 5 WINDOW PICKUP For Sale Drager’s Classics 206-533-9600

admin — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 09:20:17 +0000

1953 CHEVROLET 5 WINDOW PICKUP. #H53K030157. 235 six cylinder engine with 3 speed transmission. Dark green with tan interior. Converted to 12 volts. Nice chrome wheels and very good tires. Now this is not a show truck. The paint leaves a lot to be desired but you don’t have to re-paint it and it’s been this way a long time. To me it looks like a home paint job and they painted over the dirt. The body is very good, but it has bumps and scratches on all the fenders but nothing big. Cab corners are good and the drain vents have not been filled in. Has a steel plate in the bed. So if you want “show” this is not the PU to buy. It would be a good candidate for building a show truck. Nice to find them when they are not all rusted out. This PU came from Colorado before coming to Washington. I know it drives well as I drove it home about 70 miles. I drove most of the way right down the freeway. 70 MPH is easy for this PU. Some one installed a Hi-way ring and pinion gears. Heater works. Old School Garage Did the service and safety check and when driving the 40 plus miles back low gear started making more noise so we found a rebuilt transmission and I drove it back to Old School and Joe installed the rebuilt transmission. I just could not sell it the way it was. It drives great now. Cond. 3-.
