I just got the latest SAN/SEMA update, and there is a WARNING that the EPA in the States is trying to enact a law (or a number of laws) concerning racing and race cars. "EPA Seeks to Prohibit Conversion of Vehicles into Racecars" I couldn't quite get the gist of it until I did a bit of...

Have been checking out Ebay and a few vendors looking for parts for up coming builds. I can't help but cringe at the final price it's going to take to buy some of the pieces. For example, I have a fiberglass 29 roadster body sitting in the wings. It needs all the hardware and bits, so I gather...

What can you say?

Anyone seen or heard from CR55 for awhile? Seems to have gone AWOL. Last posted in Nov 2014, so it's been a few months.

Came across this and thought I would share.

I came across this example by accident, just poking around the net. Great idea. I have a couple of the metal jerry cans that are a bit rusty, but otherwise in good shape. To buy it, it was $100. Since I have a couple to sacrifice, I think I'll give it a go. Yep....I need another project like I...

Ok, so not entirely, but sort of. I have a fiberglass 29 roadster body and related parts, sitting, waiting to be brought to life. I have all the major components on hand and just keep a constant eye out for what ever small stuff I'll need to fill in the blanks as they come along. Figured my...

Very regional snow fall, we're getting lake effect snow which can seem weird to some people I suppose. A continuous band of snow that keeps building up in a given area, but go 5 or 10 miles east or west of here and you go right out of it. Just enough to mess up any plans to get things done...

Just received a SAN notice and the Michigan guys need to see this pronto. Seems they (your government) are trying to legislate a banning of modified exhaust systems that are louder than stock. A repair facility won't be able to install loud exhaust. That's the short version, look it up for the...

Looking through an older issue of Farm Show and seen this idea. I have a few propane cans that can be used for the shell of these seats. The seat itself could be a tractor seat like this guy did, or a mower seat. Could make up a pan seat and put a cushion on it. Or a homebrew low back bomber...

Every now and then, someone asks if there is a way to step down the voltage so the original 6 volt gauges can be used. Generally it's just the fuel gauge that needs it, but sometimes the temp is electric also. Resistor wire wrapped around a porcelain body is one style of resistor that will work...

Just received my latest (Oct 2014) R&C magazine. They have announced it's the last issue. This is the third time this has happened. Sounds like a new owner and with a bit of belt tightening R&C has been dropped. STREET RODDER mag is picking up the slack on any on going stories, but once they are...

Ok, might be a bit off topic for a site that generally deals with flat, satin, and worn out paint finishes. But...has anyone buffed, or color sanded and buffed paint like Tremclad, Rustolium, or Rustcoat. Most sprayed finishes with this paint will have some shine and luster, but has anyone tried...

Supposed to have numerous meteor sightings last night (this morning) with a possibility of a spectacular shower of up to 1000 per hour. Didn't work out that way. I hear the best time was 12:00 am to 2:00 am with a few sightings. I checked it out at 3:00 am to 4:00 am and seen one. But... at...

You can just about bet there was something said along the lines of "well it did pull a bit to the left.....and made a whirring sound."

Supposed to get freezing rain around midnight, and then snow until morning. Michigan guys will see it first and then we get blessed with it. When it does finally warm up it will likely get so rip roaring hot we'll hardly be able to stand it....you know, like 75 or 80 degrees.:rolleyes: Man this...

Fired up the computer this evening and had a pop up show that said Windows XP is no longer supported. First time I'd heard of it. Stayed with XP because I liked it, bought a laptop with Vista on it at one time and had XP added instead and used it. I had the understanding there were a lot of XP...

My boss knows one of the members of the London Model Train club in London Ontario. He thought that maybe my grandson would like to go see the trains running and meet the club members. So he set it up and four of us went to check it out, my boss Ron, myself and grandson Gordon, and his dad Bob. 6...

I've been dealing with Allstate Carburetor from time to time for 4 years or so now. Just received my order from them in the mail. They have always been prompt and friendly to deal with and this time is no exception. There is a bit of a twist though. When I ordered my parts, I had also ordered a...

A couple days ago I got an email that was supposed to be from the OHIO Second Circuit Court. They are ready to take my complaint, and if I would only click on the provided link it will all be put into motion. I don't actually have to appear, just provide the necessary info or the claim will be...
