Hello, I'm new to this site and it looks very interesting. Many years ago I bought a midget racer from a guy in Scarborough.

This first post will be rather long since I started the car officially 3 years ago. There have been some delays like retiring, moving, wife's illness (OK now), building a new workshop. I have tried to document the hi-lites of the build but I'm sure in a document of this size, I've missed a thousand po...
Anyone know if they have actually started any onsite construction, or is it still a wait and see deal? Supposed to have had the OK to go......but haven't really heard of anything proceeding farther. Anyone in the area know for sure what's happening?
Anyone know what these are for? Some a hole sold me them, telling me they are SBC covers. well they don't fit my motor! -- Edited by Jeff66 on Thursday 24th of August 2017 05:43:10 PM
Hi, just removed these from a set of rims I just bought. The tires are too short for my car. The are like new and have no cracks or scrubs. They would be great for a street rod or drag skinnies. I am firm at $100.00. PM if interested. Thanks

Hi folks, my first post, looking forward to some good advice! My son and I are restoring a '66 GTO from the ground up. I have a 326ci that came with the car (non-matching). My dilemma is what to do with the engine. We'd like to put something in the car with about 400 HP. So, should I look for a crate/rebuild o...
This is my latest project. I bought it by word-of-mouth assuming it was a 1.5 ton. When I went to pick it up, I realised that I'd got more than I bargained for. The VIN says 17,000 lbs, so it's a 5-ton. Finding some original ads confirmed that. Normally I have some fun with the old cars and trucks I come acros...
Long story short...I've recently committed to the purchase of a '56 Dodge truck sight onseen, because it has a 354ci Hemi with two deuces, it has the perfect hot rod look for my '38.
