Great Lookin car, just watch that rust patina, it can get out of hand fast. I found out how fast on my '48 Ford, it took a lot of work to get it...

I have chrome rims with lancer caps. I don't like the way it makes it look like the hubcaps go all the way to the whitewall. I would prefer to...

I remember my grandparents use to subscribe to Ford Times and I always looked through each issue to find the Custom Conversions section. I still...
Now I know for sure why I will be moving to south central Florida next year. Any type of heat with an open flame in a garage scares the hell out...
