Parts Man vs Parts Boy
(Preview)
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...

Dilemma
(Preview)
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...

Shades of "Road Warrior"
(Preview)
Ok, I've been needled about being thrifty, frugal, or even downright cheap when it comes to building my hotrod, or in other projects. I'm somewhat famous for re-using or re-purposing stuff for other tasks. Well your jabs are now truly justified. There's no way I'm giving $75 worth of gas to the salvag...

Getting antsy
(Preview)
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..

Might have to consider re-apholstering my buckets.

Currently, I have perfectly fine seats that were already recovered with new buns installed back in the late 90's. But I found a pretty slick looking set of custom covers for my 66 buckets. A company in CA called TMI makes a seat cover and seat bun that has a stock appearance with some added support and...

Craigslist-What key words do you use?
(Preview)
Being a self admitted CL surfer... I'm curious what key words others surf on a regular basis? I use 'garage' and am amazed at the different types of things that show up there. It's usually mechanically related, but sometimes other stuff pops in too that's interesting. Here's a cool one I just saw on a 7...

Buying a used vehicle-Damaged Title Question

I'm looking at an '02 Ford Escape for my son, and I found one that has a 'damaged vehicle' title, not salvage, and I'm not sure what that's all about. The vehicle was in an accident, and the drivers rear frame corner was bent and has been repaired. He has the receipt and has been fully open about it. Anyb...

Pinewood Derby Cars

Well once again the kids have the Pinewood Derby and built their cars mostly on their own. In the past I had shown them how to do a trace layout on the wood block. With the other things they have learned in the past this year being laid up they had to do even more. Other then spray painting the main body "...

Or man cave, as it is. I've been cleaning and organizing my cave for the past few weeks a few hours at a time.

How I got into Hot Rodding

Not to hijack JohnD's post about his son's accident, here's how it happened in my house when I was 16: Dad gets a call, I rolled my Jeep. Into a yard. Up the street. MY street. On flat ground.

A customer service thumbs up "non auto"

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. So I picked a Snark tuner at a local music store for $22 and it clips on the headstock with an non marring clip. Two weeks ago Aaron said it just won't stay on and i...

'Someday' Man Cave
(Preview)
I'd heard about the Auto Motorplex in Chanhassen, but missed this story on Kare11 that someone just sent me. Some Sat. morning I'm going to go for their coffee and cars, but I won't be taking the Chevelle as it will be very jealous of the cars and garages... There were very few 'classic' or 'muscle cars'...
