I'm trying to ID this rad shell that I've had as wall art for several years. It's larger than a Model A, so it would have been a full-sized vehicle of some sort. It's not Ford, Chevy, Buick, etc.

I've been looking for the right pedal car to turn into a hot rod stroller for nearly 2 years for my daughter who is now a little over 1, basically since we found out we were expecting. Unfortunately pedal cars in my area are pretty expensive ranging from $300-$500 for anything that isn't...

I did a quick experiment the other night to see what sanded and buffed Blitz Black looked like. I had painted a headlight bucket for my 28 with John Deere Blitz Black a couple years ago as an experiment for what look I like. Since I'm going to strip it back down anyways to prep and paint with...

The big show that happens every 3 years is next July, and I registered to go! Should be a good time. Usually they cap registrations at 1,200 pre-52 vehicles with half of them being 32's. Anyone else making the trip? Registration is filling up fast.

Pretty sad to get assaulted outside your home at 102 for a damn cell phone. The story below. Glad he's okay...

I found the below videos from load-in, I believe both cars are Ridler contenders. The poster of the videos and builder of the Cougar is JF Launier from JF Kustoms in B.C. Canada. He won the Ridler in 2014(?) with the yellow Riviera he called Rivision. The Kindigit car is wild! Edit: the embed...

I got a new toy today that I ordered before Christmas. This 3,500 lb center jack will make my 4-post WAY more useful! It has been on my list to add to my house since we bought the place, so I'm super excited to finally have one!

This is a pretty cool YouTube video showing some of the stuff Rob Ida has and is working on. He has built a lot of wild stuff!

Our first child arrived a week ago, she was a few weeks early. Say hi to Raya!

Over the weekend I was out of town visiting a friend. I had found a brand new still in the box and bag carburetor of the exact model that I was going to buy for my roadster listed on our local classifieds about 15 minutes from my house, for a very good price. So I sicked my retired father on...

Big event in a small farming town of 950-ish people. They have a weigh-off competition for large pumpkins, squash, watermelons, etc., there's a car show and the whole town has family-friendly events everywhere. The car show had 250+ cars, it was an unseasonable 24°C (75°F), tons of people...

About 30 minutes from me there are Model T races held annually. They race them on a 1/2 mile dirt oval flat track. Many of the stripped-down T's that race have been race cars since the 1940's. It's a fun vintage day and there's a car show along with it. There were a ton of cars there today, I...

Here's an interesting video about Singapore car culture, some garages, and what the costs are to own a car there. They're mostly not the style of cars we like but I found it interesting nonetheless. https://youtu.be/0kadRGJTnT4

Hey Guys, GM changed their website, and there is a new location for their Vehicle Information Kits. These are PDF files with information on specific vehicles from most years of Cadillac, Chev, Olds, and even Geo ranging in year anywhere from 1903 to 2007. It's a good resource for...

This is the Goodguys Hot Rod of the Year. Great video on the details and driving of it. While it's not everyone's taste, I love this car. It's such a cool car in the days of cookie cutter hot rods. https://youtu.be/5jF4nFgs-V4

I always forget to take photos at our local cruise night. Tonight I took a few. The A Phaeton had a colour combo I hadn't seen on an A before. The IH Travelette is really cool, a nice driver. The GMC long bed is tubbed, looks to have a single turbo LS under the hood and two large stainless pipes...

Sadly the classic car driver died thanks to a fool in a stolen car. https://www.startribune.com/man-dies-stolen-hyundai-crash-north-minneapolis-police-say/600290664/ https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/barber-witnesses-deadly-north-minneapolis-stolen-hyundai-crash/?intcid=CNR-01-0623

Hey guys, I got my 455 in the 46 fired up yesterday, but I had a massive water neck leak. I had used Ultra Grey with a gasket and it was spraying out like a fountain. Besides using a thicker coat, is there something you've used that works well and cures quickly? I think ultra grey and some other...

This car show about an hour south of Edmonton here in Alberta was this past weekend. I took very few photos, but I thought I would share them anyways. In the end there were about 600 cars and around 4,500 people, so a good sized turnout. It was simply too hot and humid for most of the day so I...

Just unveiled at Hot Rod Power Tour today, Project X (originally from Popular Hot Rodding and now lives with Hot Rod Magazine) is back to a gasoline engine from its electric swap in 2021. Now it's a 632 GM Performance Parts crate engine with over 1,000 hp NA. Lucky and Alex from Hot Rod Garage...
