Not wanting to drop the axle from my 1950 Chevy pickup, I built a field press frame to press out the King Pin from the Spindle. It worked well, however I did apply heat to the axle boss (hand propane tank) to aid in the King Pin removal. The Pin was froze in pretty solid. As you can see I have...

Old photo of the Messerschmitt altered dragster. Pocatello,ID Drag Strip in 1965. The 401 Nailhead Buick motor was sought after in drag racing circles back in the 60's.

I just bought this pickup. I've been wintering in Arizona and it was in a covered porch next door. Sometimes you just get lucky.

If you have the chance to pick up an old postal jeep, give it a second thought. After all they are a Jeep and they are built fairly well. My wife bought one (1976 DJ-5D) at a garage sale and gave it to our 3 teenage boys. After they drove it into the ground, it sat in the back yard for years...

My 1976 Postal Jeep (Call of Duty) is getting a military make over. However it is hard for me to stay in the boundaries of what a Military Jeep should look like. I built some weird brackets for the fold down windshield. They are starting to make sense. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCyoWc3yVjA

I am rebuilding my Postal Jeep and giving it a military theme. I removed the top and doors. I cut it in half and stretched the frame 14 inches. I lengthened the front half of the body and braced the 2 body parts together. Should have it done next summer.

Here are a few pictures of the beginning and the end of my 39Ford truck build. I am moving on to a postal Jeep rat.

I found this truck in Richland Washington. The owner said he is putting it on Graig's List soon. Everything is there if you were interested in a full restoration. It is too early of a model for me to rat out. He said he was going to list it at $3,500.00. Oh did I mention it has a clear title.

I have always questioned how you should mount a radiator. I have seen some mounted with solid mounts to the frame. I have always at the very least bolted them between nylon or rubber washers. I recently went to the Army Surplus store in our area, it is huge. I can browse there for hours. Anyway...

Here is an easy (old school) way to keep your spark plug wires separated. You just need some rubber hose, then make a punch. Punch your holes and saw to the center of each hole on one side. Install your wires and retain them with a plastic tie.

I have been on the HAMB for a few years, but I noticed I did not fit in well. I can't leave my cars original. I am done with high gloss and lots of chrome. I like old school and personal creativity. What I like about the old school and rat rod community is that people tend to follow their own...
