As I get older, I've decided it's time to rid myself of some of the things that I have held on to for years. Dealing in automotive paint since the 60's, I find myself with a quantity of leftover unopened cans of acylic lacquer and some acrylic enamel. All of it is factory pack in a variety of...

Just got back from the Nashville Goodguys today. Weather was great and considering that we were flooded just a few weeks ago, the turnout was good for a friday. I didn't take a lot of pictures today, but I thought you might like to see this one I'm always drawn to the strange and...

Some time back I ran a wanted ad for a 10" American 200S wheel. I ran the ad with a picture of the wheel I was looking for. I got a lot of responses, but the one that paid off was from a guy that had bought a new set of those wheels for his "new" 1971 Camaro Z28. The story as told was that he...

Monday this week I had a total knee replacement. I'm already having withdrawals from not being in my garage. Hopefully this won't put me out of commission for long. Right now I'm so darn sore that it's a real effort to move. I hope all you guys have your cameras handy, cause I need the...

For those of you that have children or grandchildren, I hope if they show the interest in your hobby, you let them get their hands dirty and show them how to do "stuff". Seems that most kids these days would rather play video games or hang at the mall. My son never did show any interest in the...

I find myself needing some suggestions or photos to help me fabricate a column drop for my truck. I'm not interested in the fancy billet drops, and I'd like to do something different than the commonly used connecting rod or a rusty muffler clamp. I've done a search and haven't found anything...

This build started a long time ago, unfortunately it has been slid to the back burner too many times since I first got it. In the mid 80's I saw an ad for a 55 F100 in a local paper, so I took a ride over to look at it. The guy took a fancy to my daily driver and we wound up doing some...

Thought I'd introduce myself. Been playing with cars and motorcycles a long time. I've got a bad habit of cutting them up and changing them once I get them. I don't know that what I'm building is what you would call a rat rod, but it certainly is not what the purist like to see either. I...
