I was doing some research for another project when I stumbled upon an old tech post by “Hillbillyhell“. The Virginia based HAMBer gave us all a lesson on how to create an affordable cowl steering setup. The end result is rad… You can check it out here. (Editor’s Note: This post make a nice segway, [...]

A Silent Film
“Moving pictures with sound will transform the entertainment industry in the many ways that has already been documented in this periodical. Logically, it’s safe to assume that we are experiencing the birth of something new. And as we do, we are experiencing the death of something old. One hundred years from now, the silent film [...]
History Of A Hot Rodder
“King of Chassis” recently sat down and started to type out his history as a hot rodder. The result is a great post featuring amazing photographs. I can hardly wait for part 2. You can check out part 1 here.
Skotz Vs. Casey
A drag race that went down somewhere in Texas this weekend. I’ll let Casey tell the story in the replies…
The Museum of Mid-Century Illustration
This has been a week of links it seems… But, I saved my favorite for last. David Hall runs Plan59.com in an effort to show off and sell his digital collection of mid-century automotive illustrations. The stuff here is nothing short of incredible. Take a few minutes (or a few hours) and check it all [...]
Uncommon Corvette
The sports cars of the mid to late 1950′s featured some of the most graceful lines of the period. As such, it seems only natural to me that customizers would use them as a foundation for their creations. However, with a few exceptions most customizers of the day avoided the Thunderbird and the Corvette in [...]
Old Tire Ads
I’ve linked to “Today’s Inspiration” before… This guy does a great job narrating the history of illustration and I love following along through all of the genres and periods he touches. This week, he has been focusing on tire ads from the 1950′s and 60′s. The art is incredible. Check it out.

Pistons-N-Paint 2008
Every year a bunch of good pals throw a car show just north of me in Denton, TX. Every year I miss it as it falls on the same weekend as my little girl’s birthday. Nothing could keep me away from my little squirt on November 10, but I sure hope to have a chance [...]
