I call it Red Stanley's car, but the truth is that this 1932 Ford three-window coupe has been owned by quite a few people through the years and...
I would've never imagined it, but I have determined that an old rusty dragster chassis that my dad and I bought a couple years ago is actually the...
My dad and I pulled a Hemi powered dragster out of the woods and put it back together using parts that the previous owner had kept since the early...
My dad and I have some crazy ideas, and digging up a '55 Chevy drag car ranks pretty high on the list. It was a B/Gas prepared car with a 409...
I'm working with a '34 Plymouth coupe that's on a '40 Ford frame. It's a fenderless car, and the proportions are wacky. My father-in-law built it...
I haven't posted in here in quite a while, but I still have a big interest in traditional hot rods and old drag cars, and I wanted to share the...
Alright, I'm gonna post what I know about the track, and if you have any contributions, feel free to post them. Here goes: --Road course was...
Medium Beige Poly? Navaho Beige? Any definite answers on what the true Thunderbolt interior color is? I have a friend building a Thunderbolt...
My dad "collects" all sorts of junk and came across a Go Kart that appears to be from the '40s or '50s. There is no ID tag or anything, so I...
My dad and I bought a Magneto for our dragster and I just wanted to get a little bit of background information on it. The mag has a tag on it,...
Last year, I took on the task of writing a book, working with CarTech publishing out of Minnesota. They gave me 9 months to get it done, and I...
My dad and I ran across this pair of Michelin signs and just want to get an idea of when they were made. They're a little rough, with the coating...
Lost another great one today. Keep his family and friends in your prayers.
My boss bought this cylinder head for a Packard project car, but realized it was not for the right year engine. Stud count is different, and spark...
These wheels belong to me and my dad. I suspect them to be Americans, but I found some interesting castings on three of the spokes, and just...
Ok, I've become a wheel geek in the past few years, and I have a couple of questions. My dad's had a pair of slots sitting around the shop for...
I picked up a pair of wheels today at a swap meet. The wheels are black-looking, so I assume they're Magnesium. They have dual bolt patterns and I...
I guess it's better late than never. This event was supposed to be held on October 10th, but got rained out and moved to the 17th. The...
Hey guys, just wanted to post a few photos from one of my favorite events. Today was the spring event, and there was a great turnout, considering...
Ok, so I have a question about a pair of vintage front runners I've run across. I am absolutely certain that they're Magnesium since they're...
Yep, I'm now the owner of a front engine rail dragster. I don't know what kind of chassis it is, but it does look as if the main chassis is a...
I came across these Halibrand wheels a week ago and apparently they've never been mounted on a car. Just below the Halibrand text on the wheel,...
I've known about this place for a while but just now decided to join. I'm 20 years old and live in Dayton, TN. I graduated from technical college...
