    Beside local stuff and test runs. The family and I went to McMinville TN. My youngest boy loves BIG trees. They have one there called the birthing tree. Its a huge oak tree. I reckon women use to go have their little ones under it for good luck. The old Jalopy made it great. I love the 200r4...

    If you have a Rat

    Should you continue to allow it to live in your ride? I'm not sure I'm gonna be cut out for this Rat stuff. I pulled the windshield out of my old 55 because it throws glass in your face if you drive it. Upon taking it out, I had to clean all the surface rust and am planning on painting this...

    My brand new 55

    I found this old girl about 72 miles from my house. Don't know if you can call it a barn find but, it has been setting beside a barn for a loooong time. I tried to get it running enough to drive it home but the fuel pump was leaking and the charging system was not charging. It did move around in...

    Window tint ?

    My truck already had the windows tinted when I got it. How can I tell what % it is. I know I'm only allowed 35% in Tennessee but don't know what I got. I've heard if you can read your drivers licence through it your good. I'm sure some of you will know better.

    Waxing satin paint?

    92 GMC Rat Rod

    I've got a 92 GMC extended cab long bed truck that I'm starting to cut on. To me a rot rod don't have to be super old, just built from what you have access to and built with some ratty taste. I will be moving the cab back 3ft almost touching the rear tires. The engine and core support will also...

    Propane Powered Rat Bike

    It started life as a 1984 1200 Honda Goldwing Aspencade. It had been wrecked and the previous owner had removed the front farring and had started it as a bagged bobber. I traded for it back in July, 2010. This is what it looked like when I got it. It did'nt look too bad until I got hold of...
