I have a Pontiac Crane energizer 272h10 flat tappet cam with very little use. It was installed in a turbo engine but cam needs minimum 8.75 to 1 comp ratio to work well. So out it came and its sitting on the bench. If someone can use it, let me know? Driveway pick up in Pickering -- Edited by Livetodrive...
Hello everyone. I am selling my 1940 Chev Master Deluxe 4 door. I have owned it for 25 years and drove it when I first bought it. I had to rebuild the engine so ended up pulling the whole car apart. I installed a Total Cost Involved front and rear suspension. The front is dropped 4 1/2 inches Mustang II disc...
Tom Kristensen in an early T Bird, in car and from the sidelines www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWPe4A0FSO0 It might look like a wallowing barge but watch him pick up the inside front. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ser-fqlT22M [video=https:...
It just occurred to me this morning that I could build my own frame now and start from scratch. I could rebuild my ride and do it all the way I now know is best. Cool. So has anyone here built their own frame with tubing? A few basic questions: Do I have to have a jig to ensure the finished item is square and...
Anyone in the group know of a reliable and reasonable car carrier who can still do a US run? -- Edited by Seeker1056 on Friday 29th of January 2021 10:24:51 PM
For anyone who ever heard the wives tale that irish sprig soap keeps the rodents away - this was the main coarse that was on the floor boards of my convertible - so either they were very hungry, or ?????
An older gentleman goes to the doctor, he's concerned about his memory loss. The doctor says it's normal to lose some of your memory as you age, but if you're really concerned, keep a note pad and a pencil in your pocket and write everything down. Satisfied, he goes home to his wife. One evening they are w...
So the other day I was reading some of my old Hot Rod magizenes and had a thought. I have literally a thousand of custom and rod magazines and each one from the 50s thru the 80s have 5 or 6 feature cars . Cars and trucks that the owners spent thousands of dollars and countless hours fixing up. Every once in awh...

Has anyone ever actually used the "balance" setting in their car stereo? In all the years I've had a car the only time I've adjusted it is when it got nudged doing something else.
I put a battery blanket on my daily driver but now I worry because everything these days is made in Chine. I have visions of my truck going up in flames. How long are we supposed to leave a battery blanket plugged in ?
I'd like to start a little exercise to stimulate our minds in this Covid isolaltion period. I have picked this time period because a new wave of auto styling was coming out of Detroit, getting away from the stogy post war styling of most boxy cars. 1955 seems to mark a real transition year and it quickl...

If anyone fairly new to the hobby isn't familiar with the Iron Trap Garage youtube videos hosted by a gentleman named Matt (Murray I think), here is a good place to start. In this video Matt shows how to form a sub frame on a model 'A'. Matt is also in a lot of 'Eastwood' videos on youtube and that was how I g...
I remember an old commercial from when I was a kid and I never forgot it. As we see a lonely car trudging through a blizzard in the wee hours of darkness, they ask if we ever wondered how a snowplow driver gets to work. How many here remember the commercial and what make of car it was ? I do.
any old 56 Ford Fairlane 2 dr ht out there not looking for something restorable - dont care how rusty underneath is , or how bad the frame is all trim must be complete and body fairly decent from the door bottoms up oh - and it must be cheap lol
So, I bought myself a project to pass the time during the Covid lock downs. Nothing exotic, just a dirt cheap, fully loaded, 1980 Turbo Trans Am. It was complete and only has 95,000km on it so I figured why not. It had not run in many years and I had to correct a few miss guided modifications but all the pa...

Welcome to the world of Chuck Miller and Steve Tansy Zingers (superfly-autos.com) I was in California many years ago. I think it was the SEMA show then in Anahime. Before it went to Vegas. At that time it was know as the Speed Equipment Manufacturers Show. I bummed a ride back with Steve Tansy after we p...
Today I saw a video of a rat rod with altered suspension and I'm curious to know if anyone here would know how this suspension works. It looks like a nice alternative to bags. The 1932 Ford pick up is called Hemrod and owned by Robert Wong. It has a 392 Hemi but here's the tricky bit. The rear suspension ra...
I emptied my rad so I could get a leak repaired. In the Spring, I am removing a head to have a burnt valve repaired so I thought I'd leave the engine free of coolant since I am going to have to drain it again in the Spring anyway. I just need someone here to reassure me that it is ok to leave the antifreeze out o...
