I live in Seaforth Ontario. My ride that I have been working on for years (because of cancer) is a 1948 Chevy Coupe Kustom.I am to the point where my project just needs glass. Some of the long time Southern Street rodders might remember my 1931 Model a sedan from a while back.

I saw this once dragged into a yard in Scarborough after a garage fire. Looks like it was in pretty rust free but the sunroof has me puzzled. Anyone able to identify what it is and did they come with factory sunroof? Happy Easter all!
It's like Christmas when another part arrives. At least for me iot is. It's too exciting to open it. Stepped outside to fill the bird feeder and this was sitting on the deck. Glad there are no porch pirates here.
I love putting new, quality parts on my ride. Just a little Permatex anti-seize and the bushings and it should be a smoother ride than I ever had. At least that's the plan. And I'll only be broke for 3 months ! I can live with that.
I just came across this. Is there any reserves in Canada with a speed shop. https://www.mohawkracingparts.com/ Next month I am planning to buy windows on a reserve and no tax seeing they built a lumber yard on a reserve now. -- Edited by poncho62 on Wednesday 5th of April 2023 06:...

Hi all. Been working on this one for a while.Basket case 1929 Sport Coupe piecemeal body converted to a Coupester/Cabriolet. Except for paint, it's been entirely built here in my home shop. There are lots of subtle body mods done in an effort to try to wring the ugly out of this early Sport Coupe. Can you...
I wanted to see if I could make a cutting torch gear shift. Making one on a standard tranny wouldn't be much of a challenge but on an automatic, it took a heck of a long time - but I think I did it. For me, the trick was to be able to hide the mechanism and still make it reliable. I worked a lot of hours trying to m...
This ad might seem odd (not car related) no harm in trying. Looking for decent railroad ties in the London and surrounding area. Any leads would be great. Thanks.
Looking for a Ford powered roadster pickup with manual trans - ideally a flathead V8 with five speed but will consider others. Preferably a '32 but am flexible.

Not sure if you all know, but if you have a Roku TV or a Roku box on your TV, you can get the NHRA channel in their live TV section. Lots of old racing and drag programs on there. There are a few other auto related channels too like MAVTV etc.Actually, I just Googled and it's on a number of streaming services....
I have a friend in Peterborough who crosses the border at Niagara about every month or so. Is there a shipping address that can be used there to pick up parcels (car parts) ? What kind of costs are involved to have an address to ship to if there is one there ? Thank you.
For those in the GTA, Standard Auto Wreckers now has a section of abandoned projects. Some interesting stuff hidden in the north end of the yard. Its usually muddy but I enjoy seeing stuff like this. It was probably someone's pride and joy for many years!

Just a heads up. Princess Auto has a small kit of round 18ga plugs for welding into holes in bodywork, handy for firewall holes. I'm not sure if this an old product but our local store showed them as a "special deal" or something like that. The kit has a step drill and 10 each of 3/4", 1" and 1 3/8" plugs an...
I saw your icon and thought you might enjoy this recent build of mine to pass the winter. I always thought the Munster koach was too long so I did a major conversion and built a shortened version. I just thought you might find it amusing, given your icon with Dragula and Herman.

After much research I figured I "need" an E Wheel, Buy the P.A. POS ? Naaaaa, , talked to everyone that I could and figured I'm gonna build my own, Why the Hell Not?? I gotta quit watching those dam TV shows that build beautiful rides in 40 minutes. That "I can do that" attitude g...
I wanted a tube notcher for a while. Cheap ones aren't good, good ones aren't cheap. Went through my odds and ends pile and found a pieces of 1.375" shaft and 3" X .250" wall tube. $10 for bearing that would make the 2 work together. A "V" block from a machine shop exercise and some other scraps. A little lat...
I thought I'd post the sites that I find most helpful in building my ride. Some might not like these sites or instructors but I find them great. They don't just tell me what can be done but how to do it: Rat Rod Bob - he makes it all look so simple and he is so down to earth. Make it Custom - with Carl Fisher - It...

If anyone needs a pattern for making external sun visor mounts, I made some from an old rusty one I recently acquired. I did a little forming after cutting and filing and I still have to curl 4 edges on each one but I'm leaving a third one flat to be used as a template for any future needs. I have two of the ol...
I surprised myself with this one. I wasn’t sure I could make it since it is so small a part but I think it turned out ok. I’ll round out the corners if we get another warm (ish) day.I wanted to buy a door catch (or whatever this is called) for my model A and it only costs about a buck and a half to buy but they wan...
