I saw Dick Dale, the undisputed King of Surf Guitar, at Jack's here in San Antonio last night. If you haven't seen him, definitely make the trip....
I know from a traditional standpoint that this might be a stupid question, but from a performance standpoint which are better? The double hump...
Our prayers are with Rick and his family.
As many have already said, today's cars are much like Big Macs...they're simply made to be consumed quickly and forgotten. They are no longer the...
Where in Houston is this happening at? Or is this an invite only kinda thang??
There's a swap meet Saturday in Boerne, TX which is about 15 minutes outside of San Antonio. This will be my first trip, so I can't vouch for the...
Just based upon my personal opinion, too many of the newer magazines are all fluff photos with no real editorial substance. Don't get me wrong....
I've always wanted a '32 and now that I have one, I'm NEVER selling it!! The "4 Life" thing was lifted from the old WCW/NWO wrestling gimmick....
Last night, my daughter comes in from work and tells me she thinks she ran over a rock on her way home in her '01 VW Beetle (her choice, not...
It's an Altered for me. I like the speed, but I also like having both of my feet as well.
I'm not sure if it is a four door, but a '60 Catalina sounds right. It's really cool to see rides like that down here in So Tex!!
I don't know who owns this car, but he lives close to me. I saw it on Stahl Rd. last night around 6:00pm. It's either a late 50's or early 60's...

Back in the day, I've been told that builders used wooden strips to compensate for the difference between the flat Model A floor and the contoured...
I used to sell those things and I would recommend the 190 for the same reason someone already mentioned....it won't keep the fan on all of the...
From what I understand, the mechanism in a Gennie is based on an original Ford application. Lokar's shifter knobs just look way too 80's to me...
See if you can find a plate fin heater core. It's what the OEM's use in some of the later model cars. Ususally the cores are only 3/4" thick and...
Has anyone ever done anything like an apprenticeship with one of the old guys to kinda learn the craft?
Many thanks. I take it you punch louvers. Do you have a shop?
I'm looking to try my hand at pinstripping. I'm sure I already know the answer to this questions, but I'll ask anyway. Where can I pick up...

Many thanks. What are you wrenchin on right now?
What cars are you guys working on right now?
That is one sweet ride!! Hey Crease, you're from here in San Antonio, aren't you? Where's your shop?
Those fliers look awesome. Did you do those yourself?
Yea, I got mine in the mail this week. I really liked the format and the fact that it's a little more car based rather than just hairdos and...
