Last week some idiot backed into my truck and bolted. Luckily someone from my office seen it happen and snapped a blurry photo. It was reported to the Police and the collision center as required by Ontario. Well it seems that the DRPS cannot run partial plates, and so far my insurance company won't &q...

Just a old retired guy who caught the old car bug back in the '60's. Never enough time in a day to get everything done. I thought I would be able to finish my old FORD pick-up in no time after I retired but I still haven't touched it. It's nice to have a site that is local Thanks
No not cookin', get rid of the pests. I've got a few plant hangers, like the one's grumps posted, but I have yet to snag one by the gonads. They are just simply making a mess of our bird feeders and braking branches off the cherry tree. I can't shoot them, unfortunately with urban growth, I'm in too close pr...

Recently I've been thinking it's time to sink some money into my falcon and adding some power. However, the front end is quite weak and would need all new v-8 spec parts that aren't cheap so I'm leaning towards a gasser style straight axle. (The extra room for a big block really helps too) Thing is, all th...

I saw a thread on the HAMB last night and it reminded me of Johns Willowby's (will) story about his hot rod. I PMd the author and he said I can relate it here....He has also joined our group and may chime in on it and keep us updated on the restoration. I am copy/pasting a few of Ron's posts here. Very cool stuf...

here is an aluminum part that has had a welded on part ripped off it. I don't know if you can tell by this picture but most of the bead has remained in tact. To me this means it was a cold weld. Am I right?
So, I had the windshield installed last week in my '72 C10. I took it to the glass place looking to have the seal re-done, but the didn't really want any part of removing the glass. Sounded like they thought it would break when trying to remove it! So, I took the glass out myself and wouldn't you know it... C...
So, there I was sitting in my booth at the Stirling flee market this spring. Minding my own business, dreaming of the warm summer days to come. In particular that day I was dreaming of running my Mustang at the up coming Arm Drop races in Picton. Boy, I had a lot of work to do to pull that off!!!! I had finally...

Frame is very rough because of wood floor, but front,sides, tongue and tailgate are fine. 1500 lb single axle, springs, hubs and rims are excellent. Was going to build new frame for it, but decided to build a new 5X10. I was using it up to a couple of days ago but decided to tear it apart. Tows nice and stra...

Ok, so I posted up my truck on kijiji with a joke description and while it's got lots of views no one's really taken a look. If one of you guys is interested I'll consider lower offers.
