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...

My old car has plenty of chrome on bumpers, grille etc, but my new car has plenty of plastic chromed. Is it possible to have plastic chrome plated at a after market shop like metal plating was done years ago?
I just learned a new tip that might help somebody else too. Take 8 small bread bag clips and number them 1 - 8 and throw them in the tool box. Next time you need to mark you spark plug cables, just attach the bread clips. Eezy Peezy. Neat eh ?
I'm always messing around trying and/or looking for less expensive, or easier ways of doing things. Sometimes you get lucky, and a lot of the time...not. Automotive paint is getting right out of this world for expense. So looking for a bit of a monetary break isn't that far out there. This little gimmi...

An idea has been suggested over on Canadian Rodder and I would like to carry it here.Since Canadian Rodder is primarily Western Centric, I felt it should be seen here as well in the primarily Ontario audience.The concept is bulk buying from Summit. We know they have the largest array and inventory...

Just wanted to share some of my auto related design work. A couple years ago I was lucky enough to do the design work for an auto competition show called Wrench Wars. It was created by a guy named Brother JD. He owns El Reys Garage in Venice California. He also had a show on Discovery for a while called Turn...

Hi guys, my name is Mike. I just joined the forum. I own a couple 1966 Chryslers, but I like old-school rods, customs and finned cars too. Here is my Newport convertible. Originally a California car. I tried to post pictures of my Windsor 2-door hardtop also, but the system said my post was too long. I to...

So we went last fall to pick up a donor car from my sister in law so my daughter could start to build her version of a rat rod pickup. We bought a 1951 Ford truck cab that is fixable, two really nice western doors and a good first gen S-10 truck for the chassis. Kelsey was going to use the diesel out of it,that w...
Hey all, How's everyone's lockdown going? Just wanted to share some of the models I've painted in the past few years. Usually do one every winter after the car goes away. This one was actually a shift knob, that turned into a hood ornament.

Hello: I have a 1966 Ford 289 intake manifold in what I believe is good condition. I replaced it with an Edelbrock. I also have a Holley 2 barrel but it needs cleaning. I would like to know what their approximate value is so I can let them go please. Or I might just give them to a friend if I discover they n...
