Bought this truck last week. It has a 350/350 in it, no rust anywhere, fresh engine and trans (though the original was fine - going to get that too), and finally have a tow vehicle again. The cab in the back belonged to him to build his rat rod; '50-something Ford. Drove it home 60 miles with...

Before Mazda had the idea, there was this: (well, sorta) http://silodrome.com/radial-engined-pickup-truck/

I am sure you all have these idiots replying to ads, if you use craigslist. This email came as <no subject> THREE TIMES !!! "Hi, i viewed your advert. I have so much interest in it, I am available Friday, would that work for you? Anytime friday just let me know. I'd like to meet somewhere...

You all know the scenario, you go into a "modern" parts store wanting something, and the little pimple faced clown asks what year, what model, what engine, what transmission, etc. What you want, for example an inline glass fuel filter, is NOT for a specific car, nor is it going to be in his...

Sold the Pontiac today. Really nice folks and told them to join the best hotrod/ratrod site on the internet! Expect them to jump in soon. :D They're going to rat rod the car, since parts are hard to find, and they want something unique and fun !!! Cathedral rear seat, old diner booth style...

Not sure if any of you are actually ON the Tour, or interested, but some cool rats in the ongoing daily photo shoots! Here's just a sample from today: http://oak.ctx.ly/r/35c86

I suppose a lot of you may be tired of my previous failed attempts, but this time I think I really have it figured out. I don't want to restore a car or old truck (Pontiac, '59 Chevy PU) - no money for that anyway, and what I REALLY want is a Rat Rod Truck! So with that in mind, I put together...

Hi guys! Once again, forgive the newb ... Came out to drive the '78 Chevy pickup this morning, and no juice. I drove it quite a few times yesterday without problems. So I opened up the hood and found the positive battery terminal had completely melted off! Touch the cable to the battery...

Forgive the newbie. I tried some google search, but didn't really find out much. So, ... what's so good about a Ford 9"? I can get one super cheap ($60), but I'm mainly a Chevy guy. Is it simply for the strength? Or is there some other benefit ... TIA.

Some days there are indicators trying to tell you to do or not to do something you had in mind. For instance, I was going to take the '78 pickup for a little jaunt and let the Lucas trans treatment get some circulation, but have seen more police cruisers today than all year! I don't have...

Not sure if this is allowed or not, and if it is, please delete! :) Iver Johnson's Arms & Cycleworks, Fitchburg Mass USA single 12g I got this in a trade and not sure what it might be worth. I think it is the Champion model; it has two triggers; one to unlock the hinge (for loading) and the...

I did a search here and have also googled this a bit, so not totally naive, but I am going to have to make motor mounts for the front of the SBC that is going into the '54 Pontiac. The steering box is in the way of using normal side mounts. Found the Hurst front plate and that Speedway makes...

Could be. I just bought this '78 Chevy 3/4 ton with a super LOUD exhaust. Crawl under it and this is what I found: Hispanic fellow, and I suppose they were working under the theory that if you pile MORE on, it will eventually close over? I'm not a great welder, but even I would not put...

The good old days of drag racing live again! :) [cl http://youtu.be/QdaC7va-pes

During some of my seemingly endless poking around on youtube, found this home made job and thinking, hey, I have that '94 chassis ... http://youtu.be/s6xhD8BVKo4 I am sure the neighbors would NOT be amused. ;)

Motivation, skills, tools and equipment lacking, I thought I would put up all my junk for trade (or sale?) for something I could be driving and enjoy. It seems my "talents" are for buying stuff and taking things apart, but when it comes to re-assembly, it just doesn't seem to happen. Looking...

I was told it was rebuilt 3000 miles ago. It is in the 1990 GMC Suburban I just got from a friend and it doesn't want to upshift. He said it was always like that with a sly giggle. Tried looking up info online, but nothing really specific other than check fluids and other general info, then...

1995 BMW M3 - Arizona rust free car with Koni Sport shocks, aluminum radiator, 3" exhaust with Magnaflow (sounds AWESOME!), odometer says 41K but has been replaced. AC blows nice and cold. No leaks, no drips, no kidding! Only "problem" is the clear coat flaking off, but the interior is really...

This chassis (not the body, unfortunately) is coming to my place tomorrow: It's a 1954 car chassis, 235/3 spd, running and driving except for the steering column and wiring which was cut to remove the body. Another stovebolt and 3 speed for the collection (they seem to multiply around...

I couldn't resist these two little jewels in the rough. Both have clear AZ title and were driven to the site before work started. The orange one is near running; needs radiator put back in, doors, grille and lights and will be my driver after I get it here and put it together again. The other...
