After purchasing my first mig welder ( Lincoln 140) I discovered that I needed a weld shield. I checked online and the ones worth buying don't come cheap. So I took a design I saw in Google images and made one that anyone can for much less using strong thread or fishing line, grommets, a sheet of thick pl...
So the other day I picked up a couple of old nine inch hubcaps at a fleamarket here in the UK. Been wracking my brain ever since. Just can't think what car they'd have been on. At first I figured they must be British or European but I didn't have any luck with that.When I looked further afield I noticed that t...

I just saw a 1930 rat rod for sale on Facebook for a little over 5 grand. It looked like a rolling chassis with motor. I think it was a Tudor. I think it was just posted this morning.
Been wanting something like a muscle car or 1932-39 car forever. Been looking at many cars at shows after I had to scrap my 69 Chevelle in ‘86. Saw many Chev and Fords but never pulled the trigger. Over the years, have seen this car many times at shows and it was for sale in 2019 but was not ready, put it out of...
I am trying to determine if those seasonal storage shelters are worth the purchase ($500). I will need to store a vintage truck over winter and they are on sale at CTC starting tomorrow. Any thoughts ? Are they good or bad ? Do they promote or inhibit rust over winter ?
Hi everyone: As a kid I used to get to lots of drag races at Golden Horseshoe, Cayuga and Niagara Falls. I took photos and ran across the photo albums the other day. I don't really want the photos anymore but would be happy to mail them along to someone who might be interested. They're not all the best b...

This does not concern me because I'm sure someone changed the rear end previously and I can calculate the kilometers per hour speed from the tach. My question is will the mileag...

Just wondering what others think on the subject of negotiations. The old way was I would set a price that I thought it was worth and leave enough room for the usual haggle above what I needed to get out of the deal. Things seem to have changed lately though. I have recently had to deal with people telling me...
I know, I know. Most of you are thinking a VW Beetle doesn't belong on a hot rod forum. Bare with me, this one is a little different. A couple years ago I traded a project car I had sitting around for a haggard 1971 VW Super Beetle. I spent the winter of 2016/2017 building it up in my buddy's garage and cruised...
