Early one morning, a cow hit my '69 Ford XL convertible. Did all I could to avoid Bessie -- she was sporting an ear tag numbered 6667. I'd...

Yeah Fred, they don't get it. Whatever.
One of my co-workers recently had to trade his '04 Prius in for a new ride. He put over 300,000 miles on that original battery before it finally...
A little off topic, but some fuel for thought -- "fossil fuel" is freakin' everywhere....
That blue roadster rocks! Can't say I'd kick any of the cars in this thread off my floor space. One of my fav's is Ooltewah's Buford-powered A...
What a find! Henry or Edsel or whoever did those looks right the first time. Thanks for sharing :)

Unless the Bean Bandits put Schiefer's roadster back together after Red Henslee destroyed it at Santa Ana, I don't think Schiefer's amazing car...
This past year I had stalling problems with ole #8 but I denied and denied and denied it was the coil. Turns out it was the coil, an original...
What would a complete frame and similarly complete body cost you if it was some other year/make? Not a whole lot less, and sometimes more....
I'm waiting for my frame; to build my steel '27 T roadster with a '36 Cadillac 322 monoblock, Caddy 3-speed toploader, Model A open shaft,...
Very cool build! And it shouldn't get confused with my car, any more :)
When I was a young boy (during Vietnam), nearly every night I'd hear TAPS played by a young Marine down that beach at Camp Pendleton. I knew what...
