Pinstriping, especially curved and swooping lines is where I draw the line( no pun) on my skill set, today Rollie Guertin dropped by to finish what I started last winter. I haven't talked with Rollie for close to 20 years, nice catching up on the past, but sad to learn of all the "old rodders"...

Wondering what weird or unusual engine/body combinations you,ve seen? Years back one i saw was when two guys came down from London on a sunday, to drag race the fastest cars in town,, and the strange one was a 62-63 plymouth 2 door, powered by an Olds 425 engine, (think they were rated at 365 Hp.) Olds e...

So the big Question is what do I do now to solve this problem? Will t...

Hi, I have a crank from a early hemi (392) and I am looking for a shop to grind the crank. Do any of you know of a shop I should send it to in Eastern Ontario. This is a rare crankshaft and I would like to send it to someone who won't f$$k it up. Thanks, John
Hey, does anyone have dimensions for a heavy duty shop crane? I have a 3ton long arm jack and want to build a knock down shop crane instead of buying one of those fold up deals. My shop space is pretty tiny, I want to make one that comes apart into separate components and stand them up in the corner or oil drum...
Anyone heading to Moncton for this year's Atlantic Nationals? I'll be rolling east as of the 10th to be there the night of the 11th. If there is anyone heading that way, sure would be nice to roll together. I know SACOTU is rollin with me. Look for the 58 Chev on the highways and fall in if you're in view.

Helllo auto-enthusiests..... I am a complete newbie to automotive, but have the ability to learn quickly, and problem solve. And I wasn't bad at welding in school either. My father was a mechanic his whole life, so I want to believe something has rubbed off on me. I am looking to start my first rat-...

Guys, when I picked up my 66 T-Bird this spring, the seller had some extra parts to go with it, including another rear eeat from what he said was a 65.

Since my 54 was sold, and I've accepted a deposit on my 1983 Rabbit, I'm kinda poking around for a new project. Not after anything fancy, just some tin to bash for a bit to keep myself busy, and I've got an open mind ;). I don't have a huge budget, 2-2.5G is pretty much my max. I know I'm not going to score any...
