I'd like to share some images of a pal's work. He retired from teaching art and design at college level a couple of years ago but continues on...
Consider a '48-'49 Pontiac taillight; it has the same handsome domed lens as the '50 lamp, but the bezel is shaped to fit a sloped surface. Easy...
Yes. it's tidy and very clever. The pal who built it built a number of successful sports racers in the wayback as well as a kick-ass BBC-powered...
I'm looking forward to taking over this project soon -- '58 AH Bugeye Sprite with upgraded suspension, steering. and disc brakes. Should be a...

Yes! Glad to see you followed your gut/heart/bliss. A pal of mine started on a Spritelark several years ago and it got tangled up in other...
Not likely to be too many of this sedan for my taste; I love it. The front fender profile of the '28-'29 Ford is just about as perfect as it could...
Nothing takes the place of being there, but the daily live-stream coverage of Speed Week is pretty good for us stay-at-home types. You'll find it...
