I bought a pair of Center Line mags with Mickey Thompson tires at a recent swap meet for my rat rod truck. Unfortunately the Center Lines don't look right on it. I had an old pair of Torque Thrust mags laying around that I used to have on my Chevelle. The mags are an off brand and one of...

Norman found this '26 Dodge a couple years ago in San Francisco at Hunters Point. We went to pick it up and found that it was in a storage container on the side of a hill. The owner was is a shop with a crane company so they lifted it out and loaded it up for us. It was entertaining watching...

I know this isn't a rat rod but it is my current build and should be a fun car to drive. I'm building it for my wife so I have to keep some of it tamer than I would like. As you will see in the pictures when we got it the floor was gone and it still had the original Austin Healey engine and...
