Ran into Atomsplitter in Sterling today and told me of the site, great to have another Ontario based site. By the screen name you see I've been around other sites for awhile, still have the Caprice SS wagon and 55 Mercury M100. Looking forward to another season of cruising and hope to meet many of you.
I may be blowing my own whistle here (that doesnt sound right!) but here are a couple books you all may be interested in. I wrote these while living in Cambridge starting with Grumpys Toys in 2008. The book was released a year ago January while the Junior Stock book on the right will be released August 15t...
Doing some mods on my radiator shroud and need a 4 x 1 foot section of splash apron material. I think it's called masticated fiber. Anyone knows where I can source a stip of this material? (Preferably local) A strip of heavy rubber (1/8 " thick would also do). Thanks, Vic
I know some of you guys are into custom pinstripping but I'm wondering how much $$$ I would be looking at to get some door art on my truck? Nothing to elaborate, I think the antique faded lettering style looks cool! The name of my truck is "Bullwinkle" so something with a lake scene fro...

The remote filter oil line blew off my Sonoma 4x4 today. Drove about 2 miles from where it let go to when the engine quit. Whats the chances the bearings/crank are not screwed?

First I want to go over the seams on the roof, it's a one piece roof, and second I would like to go around all the windows etc... What sealer is good and where do I get it? I have one small leak somewhere, I think it's...
Thought I would post up a hello as a new member. I know a few of you from other sites on the web but I just stumbled across this one so I thought I'd sign up! I hope nobody has anything against flat black or old Chevy trucks here... -- Edited by Atomsplitter on Monday 23rd of April 2012 10:49:43 PM

This is a pair of front doors for a 4 door 1954-56 Packard Patrician? maybe the 440 as well?? I bought them for $1.00 at an auction because no one wanted them, they are in excellent shape (except a small hole that would be under the trim) and they were going to the crusher. So, my usual deal with this type...
My hot rod mechanic fell down a set of stairs and is real banged up. We had just ordered a Holley 875 to put on my car. Now I have nobody to do the job. Anyone out there who is qualified to do this job? Is this something pretty much any mechanic could do?
Petawawa Car Show this April 28 & 29 along with a men's show, a women show and an outdoors show. Has anyone gone to that show in the past? Is it worth going to? Don't want to waste a 2 1/4 hour drive each way so any input would be appreciated Frankr 1934 Dodge 392 Hemi

Hello guys, This looks like a great site. I see some familiar names! My car isn't really a hot rod but I do enjoy driving it. It's a 75 Firebird Esprit. It was a one owner car until last year. It was sold new at Forbes in Waterloo. It's a factory 4 speed car (only 106 Esprit's with a 4 speed were sold in Canada)....
I live just outside St.Thomas and I own a 52 GMC 1/2 ton that I currently have in a million pieces. Oh well, building it is half the fun. Currently looking for advice on rebuilding an inline six motor. Never rebuilt a motor myself, but my dad was a mechanic and I've seen many SBC's rebuilt. I'm a tool an...
Hi, my name is Andy and I am a car junkie. I have been since I was. a kid. I own a '68 F100 which has been in the project stage for about 12 years. It is strange how things can be delayed so easily. It is in paint jail right now. Hopefully things will move ahead much more quickly once I get it back.

Looking for someone who is really good at adjusting car doors to fit properly. I have a couple that are 1/2 low at the back. I believe they were not mounted properly and it is NOT a sagging frame problem.
The organizers of today's Drag Race Memories show did a great job. There was just a ton of old drag racing pictures and memorabilia Way too much to see at one show, but just great that people have been collection and saving and are now sharing. Great Memories. Sure was great to see a number of the...

Hi guys, Doing a spring cleanup and was looking at the Chevy 350 - Casting# 3970010 - 4 bolt main engine my Dad has been storing out back. It came out of the '70 C20 he parted out a few years back. Out of curiosity I got looking at the Suffix Code and having a hard time figuring out what the last 3 digits mean...

knew the 55 gmc just wasn't feeling to well. so i did a compression check a couple of days ago. reading were from 95 to 115 with one cyclinder at 30. the old 283 was rebuilt 10 years ago so i was a little surprised about the results. i'm figuring to re-ring it this year in my spare time. i had a rebuilt 70 lt1 350...

Hi. I am happy to have found this site. For the last 3 years I have been re-doing a 56 Ford F100 with a small block 350, TH350, and 72 Chevelle front clip and rear axle. It was originally a California truck reasonably well built with low miles but needed to be restored again. The wiring was a hodge podge of st...
