I got my latest copy of The Rodder’s Journal last night and one of the articles sparked a question. What’s your favorite “classic car era” (that means 1950 to 1958) custom of all time? Forget top-5, forget ties… If ya have to pick one, which is it? I’ll go first… The Barris built Larry [...]

Southwest Primer Run
This one has been going on for 2 or 3 years now and I’ve heard good things. If you are in Arizona at all this weekend, stop by Tombstone and check out the Southwest Primer Run…Details here. Be sure to report back your findings. And this post got me thinking. Have you ever really used [...]
Higher Learning
Every day I go to work in an office full of really smart people with MBAs, electrical engineering degrees, computer science degrees, etc… I mean, these people are really damn smart and have the credentials to prove it. Still, there is a different level of intelligence that some people have and some just don’t. The [...]
Back Seat Betty
Theme cars are a risky business for sure. It’s easy to lose sight on just what a hot rod is in an effort to work in that last design idea or cue… and when those ideas are taken too far or too literally, you are often left with a car that looks more at home [...]
Paso Robles 2007
I didn’t make it this year. Work and life got in the way of the 10 or so days it takes a Texan to get all the way to NorCal and back for the show. So, I was sitting on the beach in South Padre Island while fielding phone calls from buddies that did make [...]

Church: Cars Not Culture
While my wife drove us to South Padre Island, Texas last night, I used some much needed down time to get caught up on my web surfing. In doing so, I noticed that our good pal over at Church had finally made issue 2 officially available to the public. If you are a regular on [...]
Another Model-A Coupe
It seems like the H.A.M.B. spits out cool model-a coupes on a weekly basis, doesn’t it? The latest is still in final construction, but I just discovered SloppySecond’s project thread and had to post.
AHRF: Deuce!
A few months ago, Henry over at the AHRF sent me over a DVD titled “Deuce” that was put together to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the ’32 Ford (trailer can be seen here). I’m the first to admit that these deuce anniversary things are starting to wear thin a bit. There’s a list, a [...]
