I've ordered from Barnes Fabrication Parts several times and it's always been a great experience. I've mainly ordered heim joints and tube inserts and I've always gotten them in 3 days or less. Their prices are awesome and they have a great selection of parts on their webstore. If you're...

I'm wondering what size master cylinder to run on a non-power 4 wheel disc brakes setup? My truck has the Speedway GM disc conversion on the front axle and a Ford 8.8" rear axle (off of a late 90's Explorer). I won't be running a brake booster. I have a 1 inch "Corvette style" master cylinder...

I had to fly out to Detroit for business for a couple of days. I flew in on Sunday afternoon and now I'm at the airport waiting for my flight to go back. The weather was OK on Sunday. It was a bit cold and windy, but not too terrible. Well, I woke up to this on Monday. Un-freaking-believable...

... for having made the most annoying car on the road, the Prius. Seriously, am I the only one who is annoyed by these cars? They always drive quite a bit slower than the speed limit. They change lanes at the worst possible times without the use of blinkers. Overall, they always seem to be...

I saw this at the shop next door. The $0.79 special tie down should hold it down fine.

I was driving to work the other day and took the picture below. I saw this mushroom cloud coming from the general direction of Palo Verde nuclear plant just outside of Phoenix. Lately, I've been thinking about Japan's Fukushima nuclear reactor a lot. I know a nuclear reactor failure/melt down...

I recieved my poetry contest prize from bob w yesterday. It's a very nice piece of vintage Americana. It's also my first hot rod book. Thanks a lot Bob! :)

I needed to plumb my shop for air, as I was tired of having a mess of air hoses all over the shop. I came across a a Central Pneumatic Garage Air Kit at my local Harbor Freight store (part number 66747) and decided to buy it. It's usually a $100 item, but it was on sale at $54.99 and I had a 20%...

I did a couple of welding projects lately that I thought you guys might like to see. I built a welding table because I needed one badly, and I repaired an intake manifold for my buddy. I started with a basic 4'x8' "frame". It's made out of 0.120" wall 2"x4" tubing, and the legs are 0.120" wall...

Please excuse the poor quality pictures. I took these with my phone as I did't have my camera with me. I was looking for headlights and ended up picking up a pair of Riteway Headlamp headlights for $80. There was a lot of crackhead pricing going on. There was anything from $50,000...

There's going to be a hot rod swap meet held in the north parking lot of Glendale Community College tomorrow and Sunday (19th and 20th). It's supposed to start at 7 am. GCC is located on 59th Ave. and Olive in Glendale. I'll probably be there tomorrow morning looking for rat rod parts! :D Good...

Lately I've been thinking of building a trailer that fits my requirements. I've not seen a trailer that addresses all my needs. Anyways, I was on eBay looking for trailer axles and came upon this auction. Maybe it's because it's Sunday night and I'm bored, but I think there's something really...

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/2219536878.html I would totally buy it if I had $45,000 burning a hole in my pocket.

I was looking for some taillights on eBay and ended up at the auction below: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-29-Ford-Ultimate-Rat-Rod-50s-Hot-Rod-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3f06822219QQitemZ270692131353QQptZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks#v4-39 And this car keeps popping up on the local Craigslist...

I found this on eBay. It's a weird setup, but it'll turn heads. http://www.harwellmotors.com/muscle-cars/1966/Ford/Econoline-Gasser/E10FH836609

Hey guys, I'll be placing an order with Speedway today and I'd like to get a wire harness as well. It's a pretty basic wiring system as I don't have many power accessories. I counted 11 circuits. Would the 12 circuit kit be enough or should I get the 20 circuit? What is your opinion? I will...

I went to a local Ace Hardware yesterday to get some stuff. I saw this truck behind the building and had to take a couple of pictures to share with you. It's pretty neat, isn't it?

I use McMaster a lot to order hardware and whatnot, at least 3 times a week. I use them both at work and for my own stuff and what I love about them is if I place my order before roughly 3:30-4 pm my time, I get my stuff the next day. Their catalog is second to none and they have a lot of CAD...

Does anybody know what size zerk fittings I need for my front axle? It's out of a 1955 Ford F100. I bought an assortment kit, but nothing in it seems to fit my axle. Thanks a lot in advance! :)
