My name is Ron and I have a problem. I'm a sucker for automotive stuff that I see at auctions and I can't stand to see something perfectly good thrown out. I bought this new fiberglass set, which also includes both the long side pieces between the wheel wells (rockers) for $1.00. There are no labels or s...
Just checking to see if anyone knows where I can find what I need. I would have liked to stick with the Dana 44 axle if I could find one, but thinking the 9" is more robust and easier to maintain or find parts for. What I would need is a fully-rebuilt 9" axle with the correct width and bolt pattern f...

Just read Poncho62's post about his old '55 Chevy and started thinking this would be a cool topic for a lot of our members. Most of my old Hot Rods have gone to the States but a few are probably still lurking around Ontario. My first actual pre 48 Hot Rod was this T bucket back in '72. I saw it at the Barrie Swap...

You may or may-not know all tires have a date of manufacture molded into the sidewall of the tire. The accepted policy is that any tire over 5 years old should be replaced due to the potential of the tire rotting,cracking or splitting. In my case the tires are 8 years old, still over 8/32 tread remainin...

Anyone know of a very small alternator that could be used on a HotRod and tucked in tight where it's not too visable? I'd prefer one with a built in regulator and maybe a one wire deal. My buddy has one on his Willys that he got from a circle track guy but nobody knows what it was made for. Some small off shore c...
Got a letter in the mail today stating that this will be the last year for Stirling flea market.

This is a real bummer for me as I have vended...

Any time I've scrapped a car, I've had the ownership to turn in. I was going to look at a parts truck, but it has no ownership. I only want parts but I also dont want to be stuck with a carcass I cant get rid of. Has anyone been able to turn in a vehicle without an ownership?
