This is one nasty little LS in a '69 Chevelle. It's basically a stock 5.3 litre with twin turbos. He's just getting it going, so pretty quick and short videos, but it gives me chills what these little engines can do!

Here's the whole thread with the whole build. It takes some guts to jump int...

I saw this on another site, thought I would share. Parts Man VS Parts Boy (by Gerry Burger, taken from an old issue of Rodders Digest Magazine) When you’re building a hot rod you need parts—all kinds of parts. New parts. Old parts. New old parts. Aftermarket parts. We get these parts from varied sources...

Have you ever had an old buddy say, take my car for a spin? Yet, you have reservations and do not want to risk putting a ding in his car. If an old trusted guy that you’ve been through some stuff with in years past, offers you that opportunity to take his car for a drive, what would you do? Well it’s happened to...

...for now. Going to look at this one tomorrow. Jenna will be working so she can't go with, but she gave me the go-ahead to make an offer without her even seeing it. Said she trusts my judgement... she must be nuts, I don't even trust my judgement most of the time.

Ok, I've been needled about being thrifty, frugal, or even downright cheap when it comes to building my hotrod, or in other projects.

All this unusually warm weather is making me long for Spring and bringing the '52 home and getting the cars out again. Working full time this winter hasn't left me any time for my own restoration work, but they are all still together and drivable too..

For Christmas I got my 9 year old a electronic tuner for his guitar. It was bad enough listening to him practice and then out of tune even worse.
