    Detroit Autorama 2024

    I found the below videos from load-in, I believe both cars are Ridler contenders. The poster of the videos and builder of the Cougar is JF Launier from JF Kustoms in B.C. Canada. He won the Ridler in 2014(?) with the yellow Riviera he called Rivision. The Kindigit car is wild! Edit: the embed...

    Center jack for 4-post lift

    I got a new toy today that I ordered before Christmas. This 3,500 lb center jack will make my 4-post WAY more useful! It has been on my list to add to my house since we bought the place, so I'm super excited to finally have one!

    Lucky Classifieds Find!

    Over the weekend I was out of town visiting a friend. I had found a brand new still in the box and bag carburetor of the exact model that I was going to buy for my roadster listed on our local classifieds about 15 minutes from my house, for a very good price. So I sicked my retired father on...

    Model T races/car show

    About 30 minutes from me there are Model T races held annually. They race them on a 1/2 mile dirt oval flat track. Many of the stripped-down T's that race have been race cars since the 1940's. It's a fun vintage day and there's a car show along with it. There were a ton of cars there today, I...

    Singapore Car Culture Video

    Here's an interesting video about Singapore car culture, some garages, and what the costs are to own a car there. They're mostly not the style of cars we like but I found it interesting nonetheless. https://youtu.be/0kadRGJTnT4

    Drive Video of Saint Christopher

    This is the Goodguys Hot Rod of the Year. Great video on the details and driving of it. While it's not everyone's taste, I love this car. It's such a cool car in the days of cookie cutter hot rods. https://youtu.be/5jF4nFgs-V4

    Tuesday at Tim Horton's

    I always forget to take photos at our local cruise night. Tonight I took a few. The A Phaeton had a colour combo I hadn't seen on an A before. The IH Travelette is really cool, a nice driver. The GMC long bed is tubbed, looks to have a single turbo LS under the hood and two large stainless pipes...

    Best sealant for thermostat housing?

    Hey guys, I got my 455 in the 46 fired up yesterday, but I had a massive water neck leak. I had used Ultra Grey with a gasket and it was spraying out like a fountain. Besides using a thicker coat, is there something you've used that works well and cures quickly? I think ultra grey and some other...

    Reynolds Museum Car Show

    This car show about an hour south of Edmonton here in Alberta was this past weekend. I took very few photos, but I thought I would share them anyways. In the end there were about 600 cars and around 4,500 people, so a good sized turnout. It was simply too hot and humid for most of the day so I...

    Winter Storage Liberation

    Spring has felt slow to arrive this year. I liberated these three from my quonset yesterday and took each one around the block of our subdivision. There's still a lot of sand, salt and gravel on the roads, which will get swept in the next month or so, but it felt good to get them out. 86...

    Straight axle and spindle galling

    Hey guys, I have a forged so-cal axle and front end that I'm trying to assemble for mockup for my 28 Model A RPU. Everything was new. The issue I'm having is the PS spindle is tight on the axle. I've filed and sanded to get it to fit better, and it initially works fine and the the surface of...
