Could you please show me your ID?"Trudeau: "Truthfully, I didn't bring any "...
I used to buy my sheet metal from TGF Bumper and Fender. Their number is disconnected. Is there a local company selling parts? I just need lower rear quarter panel for the 69 El Camino and don't see why I need to order from the States.

Hi all, purchased a 1927 Model T Cupe. New to this historical vehicle. Having issue on startup. Looks like the gasoline is not getting into carburetor. When unscrew the gas line that connected to carburetor, I see a steam flow off gas. Carburetor's drain plug is in the bottom middle. Not sure abou...
Could someone please post a list of things to do to a ride to prep it for winter storage in a cold garage ? I know, I know, heat the garage. But if I am putting it in cold storage, a list would be nice. Things like a full gas tank or near empty, remove the upholstery if possible, put it up on dollies, etc.. Th...

I had my right front wheel lock up about a week or so ago. Luckily I was just leaving Bill Vilneff's place and he looked it over and discovered the flex line to the caliper was blocked even though it was fairly new and not used much. We put on another and when I got home, I tried to unblock the line but one end...

Does anyone remember their first cruise with a few others joining in ? Today I am to meet up with 3 other people and their rides for a 2 hour tour of the Fall colours through the back roads (paved) of the Kawarthas. Couldn't sleep. Been up since 3:00. And the weather is supposed to be nice. Could mak...
It's a bit hokey I guess but it does have some nice old cars racing - it's a 2020 movie 45 minutes long with a Barney Fyfe type character. It has a Willys and a 55 racing. Hope someone here likes it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2Rp-x59uVY
Probably not a common vehicle here but I'm starting on a 1984 Dodge Rampage pickup, White /Tan interior. Mechanical is pretty well settled as I'm using a 1989 Caravan 2.5 Turbo Engine and matching automatic. Its going Black with Red interior unless I can't find Red parts, then Black or Grey interior p...

Well I got my new intake manifold on and even got it running with a lot of help from Wuga and Bill. But one of the things I learned from what I consider a major leap in understanding how my ride works is that once I have it apart, maybe I should keep going deeper. After putting everything back together we did...
What's up everybody, As I mentioned in my design work post, I entered a design contest over at Vans for a chance to have one of my designs made and to win some cash. Had to throw a little hot rod and kustom kulture inspiration in there. To get into first round judging your design needs to get votes. So if you h...

Hello all!! New member from Sherwood Park Alberta and first post from a long time car guy. I joined to keep tabs on my cousin Carl Hicks and see what's going on in the rest of Canada.

For anyone thinking about rigging up a choke cable mount instead of waiting for one in the mail, I just made one from the stainless steel in an old bar-b-q. It seems to work ok but I still have to wait for the Stromberg rocket clip (unless I can figure out how to make one of those too).
I’m posting this for a relative so forgive me if it’s not technically a hot rod!It’s still a special car that deserves a good owner. 1998 Pontiac Firebird Formula. 5.7L V8, 6 speed manual, 130,000 KM (approx. 81,000 miles), not winter driven, no rust.

Well - I have been on the back burner with projects for about 2 yers now - got into building a new house. I have wanted a Miagi car since I first saw th Karate Kid back in what - the late 70s - early 80s? Last fall I lucked into and bought a 47 Ford convertible driver quality car. Needed lots of love but it was a...
Progress on the Track-T grill shell is slow but that's ok. I'm learning I hope. I am trying not to apply too much pressure with the English wheel and just take my time with it. I might try to tighten the overall curve from top to bottom on the driver side with one or two more tucks at the top but I don't want...
I recently swapped an old and dirty Holley 2 barrel for a new tri power along with a new intake manifold. But the initial reluctance I felt when I stepped on the throttle remains pretty much the same. The car is hesitant to start though I am told it should turn over easily with a turn of the key. And when d...
Help! I’m hoping some members here might help me find a Hot Rod called “The Lemon Truck.” My Father, Jack Swanston, worked out of a car club garage in Oakville and built this Hot Rod in the late in 1960’s. I believe it was one of the first open model T’s to be shown at car shows and he won numerous class awards...
