Growing up, I like probably most of you, built model cars. My room was filled with many models of cars I dreamed one day of owning. Needless to say I haven't built one for a long time but now that I am done any full real car builds for the foreseeable future I thought I would do a couple models...

Here is my new to me 50 Olds, let's see everyone else's Olds. With a 58 J2 engine!

My son has taken the glorious first step toward building his own traditional hot rod. He ran out and bought an engine without consulting his old dad, when he showed up with a very rough-looking 283, I was sure someone had scammed him. But once we started cleaning it up the boy did good, it's...

So I didn’t start a build thread cause I thought glass cars were off limits. I checked with the bosses though and it’s allowed as long as it’s a traditional style build. So here’s where the project is at now. I’ll add build pics as time allows.

I have a 1932 ford roadster that I inherited from my grandfather. He originally had juice brakes in the front and the rear and I changed the rear to the boling brothers bendix brakes last summer.

now I’m debating if I should change the front to their bendix brakes or maybe try disc brakes....

Some of the old timers on here might remember my build thread Torpedo Attack all the way from the UK.

Having the Pontiac on the road for seven/ eight years now, I feel it's time for a part two. Although I can't say it's never let me down, I have no complaints over that time. All the gremlins...

I hate the cheesy website graphics, but the videos I've seen make these look like they might be good to have along with you on a drive somewhere. If they work as advertised they could change a bad day into a brief repair stop....

Welcome class, todays is regarding the installation of parallel leaf springs on 40-41 Ford PUs. I will begin with an apology to everyone that has asked me whose products I used and to anyone that may have actually taken my advice (which my wife says is a fool's errand, whatever the hell that...

Happy Thanksgiving

After running out of gas yesterday which lead me down a rabbit hole as the feed line to the pump ended up blocked...... Im going to replace all the lines as there are some minor cracks and the filter needs to be replaced too. Its currently a plastic/steel one like the one in the pic between the...

Lets document the history of the custom car into the early days of lowriders... Most would agree this transition took place between the 60's to the 70's. During the late 50's and early 1960's we started to see many custom vehicles with less radical modifications, and a focus more on wild paint,...

Based on the enjoyment I’ve gotten from the flathead in my 53 F600 farm truck so far, I decided to postpone the Crown Vic swap on the 53 Merc M100 pickup that I have owned (without an engine for nearly 30 years) and build a hotrod Flathead for it.

I want to daily drive it. My commute is 45...

Similar to the Model A thread by @HOTRODPRIMER, I couldn't find a similar thread for 35-36 Ford cars and thought this would be cool.

I'm a big fan of these cars and think a lot of us here probably are too. Feel free to share the ones that speak to you.

Holiday Drop from the House of Bad Decisions

The past 4-5 years I've been working out of my portable garage which maybe has one more winter left in her.
What have you guys been using, shed wise, as a work space in a pinch? I was thinking an 8'x10' probably enough for my work bench and a little storage while being able to stand upright and...
