Just a short build thread here - I'm feeling a bit guilty for not posting earlier, as this has been in the shop for a few weeks now. Backstory - I looked and looked for a project to keep me out of the house this winter, but didn't find anything that really scratched my itch. A friend of a...

Has anyone seen or heard from either of these guys?

This may be obvious to you guys, but it had me stumped for a bit. I've been chasing some U joint issues in the 51 Chev I'd built. I've put 3 rear U joints in it in 5000k. First time I thought it was likely I'd forgotten to lube, or faulty joint. Then it happened again. Checked angles, all...

A few of us attended this show again this year - it's an awesome traditional style show about 45 min away. Excellent weather and turnout! I was going to post a few pictures I took but found this video online so I thought I'd share it. You can see a couple of really nice rides leaving at...

I took my truck to this show last weekend - fantastic weather and even better turnout. Anything and everything there. Time warning - there are three videos and they are roughly 20 min each. My truck get's some air time near the 12 minute mark of #3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdrDigw_DEs

Winter is coming, possibly here - we got about 4" of snow yesterday! I finally kicked myself in the butt and dropped my snow blade in the shop. I've been plowing for years with this old John Deere blade, but it's only 72" wide, and so is my tractor. Our lane is a little over 1/4 mile long...

A friend of a friend contacted me a while back, wondering if I'd be interested in what he described as, "just a reassembly". It's an older build and had been stored for 25+ years. Obviously it didn't run, and the new owner gave it to someone else to tear it apart. The motor went to my...

I was lucky enough to get to tour a bit of a collection last week. It's invite only, and nothing is for sale unfortunately. Really interesting stuff inside the shop. These pictures don't even begin to it justice. ...and the tow truck?....it's his daily.....

Well, I think the time may have come to sell the Graham. My wife doesn't seem to think I should, but my conscience is suggesting that I do. Asking $14k Canadian. I'm located in Southern Ontario, about an hour from Buffalo.

An old mansion nearby that's now owned by a trust organization holds a nice show every Thanksgiving Monday (Sorry, Canadian Thanksgiving!). The day was pretty good for this time of year, and the turnout was great. I was #285 and more came after me. Here's just a few quick shots, I wish I had...

Well, it'a new year so I figured I'd start with a new build! Here's some pictures of our 1948 Chev Thriftmaster shortbox 3 window. I'd been on a lookout for a truck for quite a while, and found this one - in downtown Toronto! I'm told it was originally an american truck, but can only trace...

We were lucky enough to be able to attend the 5th annual Jalopy Jam Up today (our third opportunity to attend this fantastic event) Many thanks to the organizers (Jeff and company I presume?) for all the effort they put into this excellent event.

This is probably the best show there is. I can't thank Jeff (and my apologies to all the others that I don't know of) for all the effort to organize and run this. Thanks to them all for their effort to preserve this culture and create this fantastic event. Heck this years' grab bag was worth...

My wife and I went to the Nationals this year. I've been wanting to go for as long as I can remember, and we finally found the time to go. Drove through a rainstorm that scared the bejesus out of me. It was coming down so hard that I was afraid to pull over. We only spent one day at the...

I moved the Plymouth out of the shop yesterday, to make room for the Thriftmaster. I'm thinking of selling the Plymouth. We paused for the photo op.

For what it's worth..... I finally decided to pull the trigger on some LED shop lights.....the plan was to hang 10, 4' fixtures in my 30 X 40 shop. TSC had them on sale, $55 each. I hung two, tried them out and opted to go back to my 8' high output flourescents. They were back to TSC same...

I hate to admit it, but I can't seem to figure out what these came off of....I've found three of them in the area where we used to keep some scrap cars, and my family has pretty well owned nothing but Chrysler products.....but I'm unable to identify these. Anyone?

Where the heck was this kind of advice when I was younger??? http://www.q107.com/2014/08/13/everything-you-need-to-know-about-women/

I was asked to post some pic's of the trailer I built to haul my bike around, so here it is. It took a little time away from building my Graham, but then again there are about about million things going on in life that take time away from the car. Besides, a little variety is needed once in a...

I'm going to a memorial service this afternoon. A buddy of mine passed away on New Years Eve a couple of weeks ago. He'd been working on his life long dream, a 55 Chev. He never did get it finished. The lesson I take from this? Even though the build is the part I enjoy, I intend to get my...
