Boy oh boy, what a treat to see the postman leaving a package in the mailbox. Then rush out like a kid to a Christmas tree and find a Speedway parcel in the box. Yippee ! My new brake line finally came. Now to see if I got the right size ???
I jacked the car up today and continued working on my transmission shift linkage. All went rather well until I tried getting up off my (I think it is called a) shop crawler. It wasn't that difficult a year or two ago. But today, I had more of a struggle getting off my crawler than I had working on my shifte...
I was at Standard auto wreckers in Scarborough and they have a new section for the "oldies". Looks like they are getting a lot of half finished projects lately. This Cougar convertible looked pretty sad, it was originally a 4spd car and there was a 390 rocker cover in the trunk. Ironically, the floo...

Skip to 1:30 and crank it up. Guy is conducting an orchestra. Feel the power when he switches over to Nitro. Wish there was Smell O Vision. Lots of cool car vids on the main page to pass the Winter Mths ahead. Enjoy -- Edited by 69SS454 on Thur...
Canadian Tire sells a battery charger for $40.99 that will charge a 6 volt battery. But I read in one of the reviews that it is only good for an 80 amp hour battery (whatever that means). I have a 6 volt battery from NAPA I took out of my 42 truck for winter. Does anyone know if I can use that Canadian Tire cha...
I think it is called a fan shroud that I just fabricated to go on the back of my track-T rad shell. I noticed that the model 'A' built by the Tucci Brothers in New York had this on their car so I figured it must be something I'm supposed to have on mine so with the weather so accommodating lately, I got right to...
When I was 9 my folks bought me a Ruttman mini bike. All chrome, I kept it gleaming. I put a ton of miles on it through our farm and neighboring farms meeting up with my pals similarly equipped. Some years later I wanted to buy a 1964 Honda 90 - C200, ( still have it) so with Dad's consent I sold the mini bike.A m...
I'm thinking about getting 4 or 5 vintage steel rims sandblasted. Does anyone have a ballpark cost or where to get it done ? Thank you in advance (in case I forget).
My wife & I went to a craft show in Douro today and someone liked my truck enough to ask if I could bring it to her wedding in June. I was just climbing back in and they were passing by. Never saw the crafts. The roadside was packed with cars as far as I could see & there was a 45 minute line-up to get in....
Guys, I found a box full of plugs. Maybe 100'ish brand new in the boxes. No Idea why I'd have so many of same. Anyway, they are Motomaster TRS79 V-groove. I've tried every cross reference I can find and can't figure out what their for or even convert to AC or NGK. Yes I have new glasses. Harry, you got better...
For those still trying to compile a good set of tools, Canadian Tire is selling an 86 piece tap & die set for half price. I'd much rather buy precious parts but I couldn't resist. Regular $200 for $100. Damn this hobby can be so frustrating at times. Still, we need good tools to do a good job. The Pr...

This summers project. installing a 5.3 LM7 and 4l60e trans for better power and drivability. I apologize for lack of pics - wasn't thinking so all there is , is the end result. It runs - but still searching for a tuner that uses HP Tuners
All, I was going through some old files and found some pics from the Gilmore car museum in Michigan. If you have not been there, its worth the trip! The have the original "Little Deuce Coupe" on display from the beachboys song and they actually let me bring the Challenger into the outside portion of th...
I will repost what started this:An idea has been suggested over on Canadian Rodder and I would like to carry it here.Since Canadian Rodder is primarily Western Centric, I felt it should be seen here as well in the primarily Ontario audience.The concept is bulk buying from Summit.We know they have...
The truck is now in Canada. At the border he (my friend) was able to cross over at Windsor on Sunday at around 6:30 pm so no Mon-Fri business hour only crossing anymore it seems. They did however on the Canada side not believe he only paid $800 USD for it. They took and went through his phone and looked at t...
I finally got the radiator shell on and almost finished - Not sure I like the paint so I'll play with that a bit. Have to move the headlight mounts a bit but generally, I think I'm almost done the track-T nose. And I couldn't have done it without Jari. He sure knows how to shape metal. I spent a lot of hour...
OCTOBER 16 - 17, 2020 The Hogtown Metalshaping Meet will be held at my work place on the third weekend of October this year. No experience necessary and is encouraged. I will bring all my shaping equipment from home but we could always use more shaping stuff such as e-wheels, mallets, bags, stumps, etc...
Such a willingness to share. I should have posted this long ago Warren. More often than not, I need to know how to do something correctly and safely and this is the place I go to. People here share their knowledge. But it gets better. I learned the build never ends. At first I thought, naw, that can't be so b...

there is a fellow on the 49-54 Chev Canada site looking for a left windshield for a 51 Styline. does anyone on this site know of a wreckers near Montreal that might have one? i suppose someplace near to the Ontario border would do also. just trying to help this fellow out.
I am running out of chrome (stainless steel from an old bar-b-q). So if anyone is throwing out an old bar-b-q & not too far from Peterborough, please let me know.
I have a cast iron intake for a 440, it is from a factory HP E-86 package with original EGR delete still in place. $30, if anyone can use it? Pick up in Pickering.
Hey Everybody, Been a while since I posted on here. Been keeping busy with a new project. In the fall last year I decided to retire the bug and sell it to a buddy of mine. As fun as it was, I needed something a little different. Needed to be able to have 3 seats and drive in the rain if need be...lol Missed out on...

I know I've gone off on this before but it really grinds my gears when I see people spend good money for poor quality parts. Recently had a customer, who is also an old friend, reach out because the new "crate" 454 engine he installed in his project 1970 El Camino was running really bad. As with most of us...
