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...
Most of you know the car here in Ontario. Was first built in the '60s. 350 SBC / TH350, coilovers in rear. Strange shafts, Vortec heads, the list goes on. It is a very well known car in Ontario, since the 60’s. Just needs the wiring loom installed, (I already have the EZ wiring loom). Please be aware this ne...
During 2021 and Covid, to keep busy, I swapped out the little 229 inch V6 for a low km 5.3 LS Not many real pics of the swap but the finished looks pretty good.
I know we have had some hard times during Covid, and things were slow - But - this place of late, seems to be terribly dead for posts? Have we all got busy, or complacent? So - I'll start - Is everyone ready and excited for Christmas? Anyone got new projects, or revisions/upgrades planned to do to existing...
Made from scraps of stuff kicking around the garage, I put this tool together for my aging in-law. I was told he had someone change his winter tires last spring because he was having back trouble but after he got the bill, he decided to change his tires himself this past autumn. He clearly has the need f...
Thanks for the ad. I didn’t know there was a group in Ontario. I joined Hot Rodders, then poncho62 suggested this group. I live in Milton, been in the same house and with the same wife for 47 years. Watched Milton grow, too fast in my opinion. I just purchased a very Kool Hot Rod out of California with a nea...

Just wondering if anyone is using an E-Stopp electric parking brake. On my 30 Model A there is no parking brake now. It has a T5 trans and a Ford 8” rear end with original backing plates with holes for the cable and all the brake hardware there. The E-Stopp is very intriguing, but also pricey. I really don’...

1966 Ford 289 - I recently replaced my rad core, my thermostat, my water pump, flushed the system and filled the system to about one inch below the rad cap.

I think a photo is attached ? Nope - I guess not. Sorry. My wife was throwing out an indoor clothes hanger for laundry to dry on so I tore most of it apart and kept the main upright support portion. It turns out that the upside down 'V' design works well in the back of a pickup truck to support a tarp. With the 4...
So, I'm usually the first one to bitch about the quality of parts, but I actually have a positive experience to share. I was recently working on a Pontiac 8 cylinder engine with a significant rear main seal leak. Most of the Pontiac sites say "just live with it" but this was a really aggressive leak so I...

If you buy a vehicle from one of the western provinces do you have to pay taxes in that province? Can the transfer be done from Ontario? I know about the required appraisal but is there any other hoops to jump through? TMJ
This is scary! I came across this on youtube the other day. It kind of re-enforces the fact that your hot rod, or any car for that matter should be only driven in top mechanical shape. If you know something needs attention, fix it. If you can’t fix it, take it to someone that can. And, use all the safety equ...
