    Merry Christmas to you all

    I dont post here much, but this is my all time favorite holiday. With that in mind, I challenge all of you guys and gals to do a random act of kindness this week. Give to Toys for Tots, treat someone homeless to a hot meal, be a Secret Santa for a family down on their luck. And keep the...

    Different perspective on car shows

    I went to a local cruise last summer and thought I'd show it from a bit of a different perspective. Hope ya'll get some good memories from these.

    Damn ticks

    so last Saturday I was dragging a bunch of branches from my back yard to the front where I loaded them into a trailer, and take them to the mulcher at the landfill. I ended up taking two trips, so a big ole pile of sticks. Then on Tuesday morning I crawl out of bed to let the dogs out and...

    Anyone here had open-heart surgery?

    My daughter had a baby 6 weeks ago--my first granddaughter. During a routine exam they found a heart murmur in the baby. What was supposed to be a very happy event soon turned to disbelief. Thanks to a nurse with no bedside manner or tact, my daughter and her husband found out that there was...

    I've been putting off the trip to Motor Vehicles Admin...

    So I bought this 51 Willys panel truck from an old guy in Virginia 3 years ago. His property was in the crosshairs of a new road, so he was getting rid of most of his stuff, then he moved. I got a title, so that was half the battle. Lately I've been thinking I should go to the MVA and see...

    made in America

    saw this video about housing using 100% American products. All Americans who buy stuff need to try and do this too. It could help save us all. ;) http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/index.php/...onf_id/5590821

    Let's see some hood ornaments!

    I always liked the ornate and different ones. Some of the classics are cool too. This old guy has seen some sun. Show us your faves.

    Engine paint color schemes--I'm so confused

    I'm thinking about painting my 350 Buick before it gets installed. Right now it is in pieces so painting it would be pretty easy. Problem is that I cant decide what colors to paint what parts. :confused: Block one color, heads different, intake aluminum, headers--black? I have black valve...

    head porting

    Anyone ever do any porting and polishing on heads? Or gasket matching for intakes and heads? Thinking about trying my hand to give the motor a bit more breathing room. And can anyone recommend a good kit for burrs and sanding rolls? Thanks in advance.

    I hate the mva (dmv?)

    I got a notice in the mail last week (mailed Sunday 8/28) from the Motor Vehicle Administration telling me that my registration was cancelled on a truck I traded in back on Memorial Day. 5/27/11 to be exact. That happens to be 90 days back. Why? I neglected to return the plates, but the...

    might sell the lake house...

    This may be the ULTIMATE replacement to owning vacation property. Just drive where you want in a classic longroof, and setup shop for a few days!

    MOPAR day at the local track

    Every year the local drag strip holds a "show & tell" day for older Mopars. Others are welcome too, so a string of V8 Triumph TR7s showed up but didnt race. Some nice stuff there. And who doesnt like listening to a well built 440? Click on pic to enlarge. Enjoy!

    Carlisle: Not sure I'll ever go back

    I drive from 20 minutes south of Frederick, MD and it normally takes me about an hour and a half. Today I left my house at 7:20 AM expecting to get there around 9 AM, walk the grounds (all 158 acres...) for about 4 or 5 hours, and roll out. Well, since last fall, evidently they have changed...

    Redneck goodies

    We've all seen the emails with goofy photos of what some people do that defy logic. Like the camper trailer bolted to a raft with an outboard motor, calling it a houseboat. Or a cell phone rubberbanded to a steering wheel of a car making it hands free. Let's see what you've gotten. Ought to...

    Winter's almost over!

    I know this is kinda cheerleader-ish, but I spent all day outdoors today doing stuff I've only been able to dream about for MONTHS. I just want to say I am psyched that soon we'll be able to enjoy our collective hobby/way of life and get to drive and see others drive their creations that have...

    Eastwood sale 3/11/11

    I got an email from Eastwood today about a tool sale. They are selling (among other things) sheetmetal panel clamps for butt welding your chop. $1 each in sets of 4. Never saw it that cheap before. Had to order a couple sets at that price. Cant even make em for that. [cl
