Just wanted to share this entertaining teaser made for the Gleb Cherniy Speedshop in Moscow Russia. These Misfits-loving boys took a mystery 70s or 80s IFS donor chassis and chopped it up to fit their own scratch-built steel body that resembles a mega-sized Model T sedan. Lots of short clips welding, fabricating and beating metal [...]

Scratch Built in Moscow…
Martin Croston & The Vultures
Fuel Tank TV is at it again. This time, they’ve released their full feature on Martin Croston & The Vultures. By happenstance, I spent a day touring the country side of Melbourne with Martin in 2012. He’s totally my kind of guy – laid back, cerebral… no muss, no fuss. And a diehard. Hell, just [...]
Mad Fabricators Volume 7
Apparently, I say the word “shit” a lot when I’m nervous. And I was pretty damned nervous when Piero and his crew came out to my office to shoot the segment on me, my car, and the H.A.M.B. for his latest addition to the Mad Fabricators library. I looked into his camera lens and saw [...]
A Tribute to the Edelbrocks…
I don’t know how I missed this tribute to Vic Edelbrock Sr. and Junior, considering that that it was made back in 2005. Obviously it was shot at least that long ago, as a number of the amazing legends of hot rodding being interviewed have now passed away themselves: Robert “Pete” Petersen, Bobby Meeks, Bob [...]
Where They Raced
Hot Rod Magazine held a show a last weekend celebrating their 65th birthday and from the looks and sounds of things, it was my kind of deal. Essentially, they gathered as many past cover cars as they could find and then displayed them all at the Pomona Fairplex. Shit! I can’t believe I missed that… [...]
Keeping it Forever, part 4
I just came across another video that relates very well to the ‘keeping a car in the family’ stories I’ve shared recently. Of course with my luck, this video has already been posted on the HAMB, but when I saw this, it was too good to not share again. It’s the complete story of a [...]
Oldsmobile Sponsors The Oscars
When I watch these commercials from the 1950′s, I often sit and ponder the level of shit they are full of. I know, I know… It was a simpler time. More wholesome. Honest. Cleaner. I get that and all, but that doesn’t mean the ad men of the age weren’t any less full of it, [...]
Queen City Roadsters Birth & Rebirth
I love the genuine passion of New Zealand Hot Rodders. When it comes to restoring, building, or racing old American cars, Kiwi’s go all the way. If you really think about it, from this seemingly tiny nation (less than a 1/5th the population of Texas!!) comes so many great hot rods, 50s style customs, and [...]
Keeping It Forever… Part III
Alright, indulge me with one last video on old family cars with a special connection. This film by Hagerty Insurance is more a story about reuniting parents with their special car, but it’s the same idea. This is another guy that will likely keep the car in their family forever, and I love the idea [...]
