But I want to drive the wheels off of it, and the drivetrain and suspension jus...

A few guys from the Canadian Poncho forum have joined....welcome guys, glad to have you here. It brings up a subject in my mind. Have any of you owned specific Canadian models of cars?...You know, Canadian Pontiacs, Beaumonts, Acadians, Monarchs, Meteors, Mercury or Fargo trucks, that sort of thin...
I have been getting emails all day that i had sold my car and the new owner has got it up 4 sale already and advertising a car show in June on Kijiji with itI am flattered they like the picture of my 50 Meteor, but its the point that they used it without my permission and the fact, it is still 4sale by me and not th...
Well the last topic I posted did well, so lets 'stir up the pot some more" I see quite a few "MODIFIED" or "HOT RODS" [call them what you will] at shows & cruise's with Historic plates on them. Total "violation" of what they were brought out for, & I think i...
Hi I'v been trying to finish MY 45GMC PROJECT FOR YEARS NOW, but being in the military, it seems whenever I plan to get to it next summer, I end up moving, my truck has more miles on a flat bed than most, NB to Coldlake back to NB and now ON, I hesitate to say I'm going to work on it next summer, I'm just starting...
Hi guys!My name is Nick. First I'd like to thanks Poncho for the invite. A little about myself...I've been into hot rods and custom cars since I was a kid. For over 10 years, I've been learning the art of metal shaping starting out with a set of about 9 hammers, some dollies, and a 3/4" rubber mat an...
so there i was in the shop. finished honing out the 427. gave it a good cleaning. got the bearings soaking in oil so i can install the crank and get the bottom sewn up. what no seal for the end of the crank. long weekend, guess i gotta wait till tuesday
Spent many Hrs. fabricating rear bumper brkts. for rear bumper on the 52 Poncho. Stock won't fit due to late model chassis. Used a sanding disc to remove rust & chrome as I'm going to paint it. 60 yr. old chrome on the floor & org. copper plate showing through.

WOW – I grew up on car magazines but now it seems that web forums are the way to go.I’m a retired MTO officer and licensed mechanic who’s been working on a very long “honey do” list ever since escaping the working world – now it’s the working-for-no-pay-but-lot’s-more-fun world. I’ve been picking a...
FYI - just got the latest Princess flyer and they have a planishing hammer with stand for $179.99, "Special Buy" so they likely won't be carrying it as a stock item.
Gid day eh. noticed alot of name from another site i frequent. for rides my daily driver in the summer is a 55 gmc w/ a 283, t5 5speed. project i'm playing with in the shop is a 70 2+2 pontiac and in the wings i have a 63 beaumont acadian wagon that is not even close to original.
Just following up on the invite from Poncho. My current toys are a '74 hot rod Beetle for when I'm in a shiny mood and a '67 patina'd Chevy stepside for tearing up the roads.
just thought I would put this up. The moon disc was painted by Chris Stapley and how I want to paint the Valiant. -- Edited by workin class on Sunday 15th of January 2012 01:01:08 PM
Need to crimp the AC hoses "on the Car". Does anyone have a portable AC Hose Crimper that I can rent or borrow. Would even pay a reasonable price for you to come and do it in my garage. I have the refrigerant and gauges to fill the system but n...
Hey all, Workin Class sent me a message about an Edsel over in the swap area of this fine board. Instead of lurkin' I figured I better join up. I’m a Ford guy for the most part with too many projects (runs in the family) For the last few years I’ve been makin’ my way around in a ’59 Edsel Corsair 4dr HT or a ’64 F...

Anyways, I operate Candys Hot Rod Supply where I am completing two customers cars, 33 Ford 3 window with a 331 Hemi and a 5 window Deuce powered by a Dodge Hemi. My daily driver is a Deu...
So this is my theory as to why all the new restrictions on old cars.The government ownes a very large part of the auto industry(bailout billions).They need to sell a lot of new cars to get paid back,if that is even part of the deal.To boost sales of new cars they have to get the older cars off the road.So the...
I used to do some woodcarving, not sure where they all are now.... These aren't mine but I thought they may be of interest, they were done by my dad. He was a commercial artist and did work for various ad agencies back in the day.
Hey everyone, I got thinking about a car my Dad owned but sold about 10 years ago. He had it forever and I have lots of childhood memories with it and I thought it would be cool to try and find it again! I'd love to buy it back and fix it up (as that's what he wanted but never had the chance) Now that I have a family...

I've got a problem! I'm building a 30's sedan and I don't want the rack sitting out in front of the grille shell. I'd like to put a rear steer rack in, but I would have to flip the spindles from side to side. see where a problem could arise? Anyone know what rodders have been doing the past 30+ years that I'm m...
If anyone out there is interested in Edsels this 59 Ranger is sitting in Jerry Nurse auto wreckers in Peterborough. First saw it there in the fall & was still there last week. They wanted $1200 for it.
