Pecos Bill’s Auto Body Shop and Some Old Cars

Pecos Bill runs an Auto Body Shop, has a son, and a wife, and a pumpkin patch.  He probably has a mom and a dad too.  He lives in Queens.  He likes to use the smartphone app Instagram.  He’s a fan of Taxi Driver and Calvin and Hobbes, but he can’t get it straight which one’s Wars and which ones Trek.  He can be seen as a bunch of words when he comments on this shlog.  He sent me a bunch of pictures of cars that he and his team have fixed/restored/scrapped, so I thought I’d share them with you.  We are in talks to refurbish my old go-kart.  He says that he’s cool if I pay him in bottlecaps – but if he thinks I’m gonna part with any of the top tier caps in my collection he’s out of his mind.

Pecos’ old Auto Body Shop.  The red car is an old VW Beetle.  The green car is a 1974 Porsche 914.
The dark green car in the lower left is a ’71 Plymouth Duster.
1964 Chevrolet Corvette!  With a big ol’ American V8 engine (I don’t know what that means.)

The Plymouth Duster stripped of it’s paint!  Looks so goo!

’65 Mercury Comet.  Pecos said, “It had a significant amount of rust, so we had to remove all the cancer and
fabricate a rear body panel.  FROM SCRATCH!”

Here’s the Comet at a later stage.

1965 Ford Mustang.

’68 Cadillac Deville Convertible.

’71 Cadillac Eldorado.  Pecos said, “The owner was a little old Jewish Lady from Rockville Center, NY.
She must have been 4’11” at her tallest, yet she decided to drive a Cadillac as long as a fire truck and with
an engine just as big.”  You should see Mr. Parfenix’s “car”.  It’s a knocked over cereal box that he
sits on top of and makes “vroom” sounds.  His favorite role-play is “road rage”, but he usually
gets mad for real and starts shitting everywhere.  Method actors! 

An abandoned Honda Accord in two pieces.

’81 Pontiac Firebird Hood.

Here’s the Duster again, repainted with decal stripes and everything.

Frankie’s Apartment: Fan Pumpkins!!

Pecos Bill, a regular commenter on this blog has a son.  This is Pecos Bill Junior aka Louis Jr.,
wearing one of my old Kid America Club t-shirts.  Props to Jr. for the J-Crew catalog mousepad.

Pecos and I met on Instagram.  He’s been a very supportive visitor to the shlog.  So much so, that he and
his son have promised me a pumpkin for my Halloween jack-o-lantern from their family’s farm upstate!

Obviously I know one can grow pumpkins, but I’ve never known anybody who actually has grown
pumpkins.  The only pumpkin patch I knew growing up was at a not-so-local park in Queens
where they’d haul in a batch of pumpkins and spread them out on the near dead baseball outfield and let
you roll one out.

How come nobody ever makes an unripe, green jack-o-lantern?  That’s another good character for the
show.  He/she could be really juvenile and under-developed.
