Talking about the seam where the headliner meets the door opening . I have seen a rubber like piece used to cover the seam , so i know they exist . Can't seem to find any info . Called Steel rubber co and the lady said she gets lots of calls on this but they don't have it and she does not know...

Has any body installed a late model steering column with an air bag in it or thought about doing it . So far my state , Delaware , has been pretty good concerning old cars . You can get an Antique tag or a street rod tag and never go thru inspection again-after the first and only one . However...

Yesterday while at a car show a guy walks up to me and says hello and calls me by my name . I'm looking at him and I realize I have no clue who he is . So I ask " do I know you ? ". He says " yes we have met and talked 4-5 times before " . More and more stuff seems to be missing from my recall...

What I did . I wasn't real happy with the quality of the ride my very expensive Bias ply tires were giving me . So I decided to try some radials . Now this kind of experiment could get expensive , especially if you don't notice any improvement . I paid a visit to my local used tire shop . I got...

I know this topic has been around before , like every time the price of gas goes up . One of these times it's not gonna come back down . A vehicle with a gas guzeling engine that you cant afford to drive , will become yard art . Way too much money and time invested for that to fly . Any body...

While at a show this past weekend I had a man come up to me and as we stood at the back of my rat , he says too me . " I'm new to this rat rod thing and I think what I am liking the most is their not politicly correct " . Knew right off he was my kind of man . Had a nice chat with him and his...

Last year the folks who run the truck show put about 8 rats and 8 street rod trucks inside one of the buildings . They had the spectators vote - the rats won hands down . So this year it will be rats only in the building . At least 50,000 people walked by and looked . In exchange for showing...

After looking at all these show pics I have come to the conclusion that the folks who were saying ratrods were a fad and would soon die off were dead WRONG . Ladies and Gentlemen we are everywhere .
