Swapping out powerglide in my 59 Chevrolet and had the front drive shaft before the hanger bearing shortened. Guess I mismeasured as I only have about 3/8 or so of freeplay in the driveshaft. I know its not ideal but is there much movement in a two piece drive shaft or should I get another half inch cut...

With so many members stating that driving a rod is half the fun of ownership then maybe we should be planning a drive to event for this year. There are lots of events happening within a days drive for most of us, maybe we should pick one and make it happen. I'll throw out the NSRA street rod meet in Sept in Bur...

A while back I took a BMW to a well known body shop in Collingwood. It needed a rust repair over the back wheel, below the fuel filler door. The estimator came out and looked at it. Then he looked at me like I had 2 heads. He said, we don't do rust work here. Our guys won't do that kind of work. We are professiona...
Impressive stuff. I remember asking when at the shop about the fuel/ethanol issue as some cars sit longer than 6 months before being driven. I asked what does Jay do because fuel sits for months at a time. And ethanol was doing so much damage to his vehicles/Motorcycles. Now he uses this, and promotes i...
I've been following the drama on another "National" site lately and boy, I just have to say how glad I am to be here and I'm very thankful to Poncho for providing a great cyber place for us to hang out! I've seen so many sites crumble due to various issues, and I'm stoked about how lucky we are tha...
Guy's, I have to ask you all to please accept my apology for NOT posting an introduction when I first started coming into this Forum some time back. It was just brought to my attention today by an alert Member here, that I have failed to post an introduction as requested. I filled out a profile when I first...

Well, dropped my wife off at Laurier yesterday morning before snowpocalypse happened. I spent a bit of time on the side of the road waiting out the weather, figured I could get back to stratford to work. Hah. I decided after watching the knuckleheads speeding past me, I'd be better off on a side road...
I have acquired a mid to late thirties 3 speed top loader ford trans that would bolt to a flatty. seems stuck from sitting but I will disassemble and free it up. offers or someone might need it? if not taking it to barrie/sterling
I think this subject was touched upon a few weeks ago, but couldn't find the thread. I've notice lately that fuel starts to cause me grief after only sitting for a couple of months, and I think it's related to the ethanol they now put in gasoline. Does anyone have gas without ethanol in it ?? I run everythi...

The magnets from my wiper motor fell off today. WTF. Never used it once. Turned it on and it seized up . Took it apart and the magnets were stuck to the armature. Sending back 4 years after buying it to see if they will fix it.
Hi New to this forum , I posted an article today about ethanol fuel issues, it did not go to the top only a few posts down or click on my name and it will come right up thanks. Fuelman
Amazing how quickly it gets to 200mph. I think this will be a short lived record as the Koenigsegg One:1 makes its run at the speed title in a months time. Enjoy
Hi folks and thanks for the welcome here. So nice to find a local forum for a change. Just a guy who has always loved cars and need to share. I have a 1971 Capri that I brought up from Texas 2 years ago. This is a replacement of the car I had when I was 16 and wrecked. I am slowly gathering the few parts I will need...
Is it just me, or is this long, extreme, cold winter taking a toll on anyone else's body? I feel like I aged ten years! I'm aching all the time and just tired!
Hello everyone, my name is Randy Zurbrigg ( roddguy) I followed Grant Kay (Homer) here. He told me you guys have a great site going here, and I must say I'm extremely impressed with the talent I've seen here so far. So a little about myself. I live and breath cars. I'm sure this is a common affliction among...
Brian Bishop of Wasaga Beach passed away last night. He has an orange rod with the plate "RADICOOL". Just in case someone knows him. He was 65. -- Edited by MANCAVER on Thursday 27th of February 2014 06:32:08 PM
Recently a new member signed in, stating he had a '71 Capri. I think it's a neat car, I used to own one, and you just don't see them around anymore. By the time I turned 20, I had already bought and sold 20 or so cars, many of which you just don't see regularly. Like this Firenza, I figured it would make a great...
Ok trying to insure my 1950 dodge truck rat rod as a kit car it will cost alot to insure. If someone knows where I can get my hands on a tag that would be great.
