Well folks… That was one hell of a tech week. From projects as complicated as fabricating drip rails to as simple as rebuilding a gauge cluster, this event gave us a little bit of everything. And now, it’s time to pick the lucky fella who is going to take home a prize worth around $2,000 [...]

El Diablo Magazine
Here’s one I hadn’t seen yet. El Diablo magazine is an online ‘zine that is published over seas and while it does contain a bit of questionable content, it gets away with it by being youthful, fresh, and artistic. It’s hard to throw stones at quality and creativity and El Diablo has both in spades. [...]
Ray Giovannoni’s ’36 Ford
In 1947, Ray Giovannoni took the long drive from Washington D.C. to the west coast. It was a pilgrimage for Ray as he always wanted to see his tastefully done custom rolling along side the cars that inspired it in the custom heartland – California. While there, his car must have garnered some attention as [...]
Ozzie & Harriet
I’m betting this has been posted before, but I had never seen the episode in it’s entirety and thought you fellas might enjoy it as well. It doesn’t get any more cheesy than Ozzie and Harriet, but the roadster footage really is pretty fantastic and some of the dialog between the two fathers discussing “old [...]
Sinister
Go crazy. You can paint it black, add the meanest flames ever taped, slam it to the ground, throw on some huge meats, poke a blower through the hood, etc… It doesn’t matter. NOTHING is as sinister as an early roadster built by a guy with the evilest of intentions. I don’t have the words [...]
The Ultimate Road Trip
Franco, Joyo, Silva, and I were sitting on my back porch this past Saturday night fighting the heat using Mango/Banana Margaritas as ammunition. While losing the battle, Franco mentioned something about “ChevyGirlRox’s” latest series of posts being his favorite H.A.M.B. series of all time. I had no idea what he was talking about… and soon [...]
Pat Ganahl’s 1932 Roadster
It was August 4, 1963 and the Yanks had just lost the first game in a doubleheader with Baltimore. To make matters worse, they found themselves down 10-9 in the bottom of the seventh of the night cap. With one out, Steve Hamilton was due up for New York but the Yankee skipper made a [...]
Tom Carsten’s Allard
Sydney Allard, a British fella, designed one hell of a sports car in the early 1950′s and called it the Allard J2. The design was so successful that it’s racing victories made stories around the world. It wasn’t long before American hot rodders were licking their chops trying to get at the car and Allard [...]
More His… More Traditional
I’ve talked about it in the past, but I love the idea of taking a well built contemporary car and “saving it” back to the traditional side. My good pal Don Moyer showed us a perfect example of this transition while thrashing on his Olds for Detroit this past year. Often times, it’s amazing how [...]
