Hi, I've been directed here from the HAMB and it's great to have a more local board! I've liked rods all my life and got into old school types about 13 years ago. Skinny tires, vintage engines, wheels are my favourite. I have a '31 Model A with a Merc V8, closed drivetrain and Lincoln brakes. Also an ol...
Bob has agreed to let me post some pics about his 59's paint/body project he has brought to the shop. I've known Bob since he pulled into my Parents driveway 25 yrs ago when I was still a kid in my late teens. He needed Nova parts and someone told him about me?? I sold him the parts and we've been friends e...

I'd like to whip up a pair of stainless open chamber mufflers similar to Flowmaster super 44's. Has anyone ever opened one up or have specs on where the baffles should be located?

For a while now, my automotive interests have changed to admiring the oddball cars, works in progress and survivor cars. Every carshow I go to has the hoards of Camaros, Mustangs, Vettes, Cudas, Chevelles...etc. Sure they are nice cars, but I'm just not interested anymore. I get a bigger kick out of t...

Hey folks. Thought I'd dig out some pictures from my local show which we have every year in Ayrshire. These were taken a couple of years ago, but it's the usual suspects every year so the photo's would'nt be any different if it was THIS year, lol.
When we get to Canada, the first thing I want to do is get my wife the ideal car. Here's what she requires, and what she has had in the past, in Scotland: She likes cars that have a bit of power, if she needs to get out of trouble. She likes the safety of all wheel drive for the wet days She likes pretty cars, yes...

Everyone still hate Kyle Busch? He did one heck of a lot of great driving tonight in the Bud shoot out. I was never a big fan of his, but he did a great job tonight.
This has probably come up before but where is a good place in the GTA to have wheels re-chromed? Also is it cheaper to re-chrome previously chromed wheels or powder coated wheels? Both are aluminum. Thanks

Guys, i been thinking for some time now, actually a few years, many of the tools we need and purchase have never been so cheap. Yeah, i know much of it is off shore stuff, but the quality is getting better, and i love american made tools as much as anybody, BUT,my point is that for the average guy to equip a w...

My cam card tells me I need 99848-16 and there web site tells me 96802-16 there tech tells me the difference is the installed height. I'm pretty sure that I need something the same or close for the hei...

Well its been a while since I was on here or posted as I have been busy building a new garage. Unfortunately I had to sell the 39 Poncho to pay for this new construction but I know Don (Oldcoot) will treat her well. I hope to have this finished and get working on the 67 Cutlass again after Christmas.
