Hi all been a lurker for a year or two and with a subtle nudge from stroker decided I should join. My latest project is a 49 chev 3100.

My Dad always refers to Hemmings as the holy bible for car guys but lately I just can't get into it. Not sure if its the internet and the ease of information or what it is. I'd reach for an Old Auto's or a Rodders Journal first. Anyone else walk past Hemmings more than they use to or are you still a supporter? ...

Over the years there have been 100's of hot rods which were started but never completed. I have acquired 3 fiberglass bodies. Where are the remainder? I know of at least 5 builders of fiberglass bodies in Ontario & Quebec. If these projects are just sitting in a garage/ barn/shed, they need to see...
I purchased this tach from an estate in New York recently and cannot find out any info regarding value, if it needs a monitor or when it was made. There is a part number on the face #827241 but checking catalogues back to 1965 has yielded nothing related to that number. It is a five wire tach and the 2 black w...

I just put up a post looking for a couple of carbs. Question is, I had originally wanted to use a couple of Predator carbs and have them already.

We decided to enter the 57 in the 2014 Canada Day parade at Oxford Center. It rained at around 6AM but was warm and breezy for the rest of the day. The engine got a bit warm while parading at crawl speeds, but coasting in neutral with the revs at about 2000rpm helped to cool it off. The strap in aux. electri...

Hey folks. I had the 57 out for a spin and then changed the oil.
