Saw this car on marketplace for a couple months. Not very good pics or info so passed it by. Couple price drops got me looking at it again. I didn’t know much at all about Pontiac’s of this era. I assumed it had a flathead straight 6, crappy 2 speed or dynaflow-esque automatic and a torque tube....

I've been meaning to take a few photos of these places along old Rt1 here just outside Yulee FL. What a nice morning for a long drive in an old sled!

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...

It an oldie but a chromey, I originally posted it in 2017.


Merry Crankcase and Happy New Gear!

I was finally able to get back up to Nebraska and pull this ‘41 Ford out of its resting spot, its been there since atleast 1958 from what the family can remember. It is a Special with one wiper, one visor, and one tail light.
The engine is stuck but none of the plugs are seized and I’m curious...

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,...

Just got an E-Mail that #87 has shipped.

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....

Tom Cobbs: Project Car

Dilemma one: I have a brand new (old stock) Walker ‘32 radiator. Unfortunately it’s stock height. And, as you know that doesn’t work with a A-body on ‘32 rails. It sits about 2- 2.5”s too high.
So, I need to shorten the core. Yes I realize the intensive labour this will bring but I’m up for the...

The Rodder's Journal

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...

First Brands Group, the makers of Fram filters and Autolite spark plugs has filed for bankruptcy. And those aren't all of the major brands affected; the list also includes Raybestos, Centric, Carter and Airtex to name the better-known brands. There is multiple lesser-known brands also. Details...

Hey guys, I wanted to introduce my latest project, a ‘23 T-Bucket. This is a real deal 60’s built hot rod. We are about to go pretty wild with it and add some Ed Roth style treatment.

* Edelbrock Carb
* Side Exhaust Headers
* '57 Chevy Rear...

I’ve owned and driven tons of old hot rods for dailies in all seasons and weather but never a stock 6 volt vehicle. Everything I have owned was 12 volts or 12 volt conversions so I really never thought about this. After watching a ton of old movies and the obligatory “A Christmas Story “ I was...

I got the trunk lid latch mount roughed in for the roadster. I used bodyman in a can (long strand fiberglass...

Not my words... but a great story on a often forgotten Ford FE.
Yeah... you can do a 390,428 and build a stroker. or look for the unicorns.....406 or 427.

But still today... a 352 or 360 can be found cheap,... and build a street Monster.

I just enjoy this gentleman's work and explanations....
