I’ve been dodging Shane from Baileigh Industrial for a few weeks now. He’s been wanting to create some kind of a “tech week spectacle,” but I just didn’t know if I could stomach his abuse so soon after the H.A.M.B. Drags. My knee caps and thumbs still haven’t completely recovered from our last meeting and [...]

Fear the Yoder!
I remember going to Bobby Walden’s shop party one year after the Grand Nationals and admiring the gigantic power hammer over in the corner. Up to that point I had never year of a Yoder, or realized what an amazing tool it really is. The old original Yoder power hammers are rather hard to come [...]
Project ’38: Motor Mounts
I’ve had a crazy week that was capped with a scalpel just a few hours ago. I’m now sitting before you loaded on piss and morphine. Literally. If I were to write… I mean, really write… right now, there is no way to be certain that what came out would be appropriate or even comprehensible. [...]
The Mallory Super-Mag
So a friend of mine dropped by my office the other day with a vintage Mallory box tucked under his arm. Inside was an old magneto protected by its original packaging and wrapped with it’s original spec sheet. It was labeled as a Mallory Super-Mag made in and around the mid-to-late 1950′s. My buddy got [...]
Tech Week: WINNER!
I want to confess! I can’t stand the pressure on my conscious any longer. I’m a cheat. Venal, mortal, carnal, major, minor – however you want to call it, Lord… I’m guilty. I rigged tech week and screwed you all out of $2000 worth of cool shit. And it felt so damned good being so [...]
Tech Week: VOTE NOW!
Well fellas… We’ve had two weeks of tech posts and now it’s time to pick a winner. We will let this run for a week and then, at the end of that time, the winner will officially be known as a lucky bastard thanks to: Baileigh Industrial ($1000 in Baileigh Bucks) Legacy Industrial ($200 Gift [...]
Tech Week: The Ultimate Hook-Up
I went into the house and stood in the center of what must have once been the living room. It was hard to tell, because I had never seen such utter chaos. Every piece of furniture had been smashed; debris littered the floors – broken glass, torn clothing, empty cans, wine and beer bottles, crockery, [...]
The Homemade Engine Stand
I’ve always had a thing for vintage engine stands. One of my favorites is the old K.R. Wilson units that seem to go for an arm and a leg these days. One of these days I might lose my senses long enough to actually buy one, but until then I stumbled across a pretty cool [...]
Baileigh Tech Week Winner
Well damn… That was easy. We had the voting mechanism up for all of three hours before it became obvious who was gonna win. Neal gets to take home the $1000 in Baileigh bucks for his post detailing the installation of a jump seat in the bed of his RPU. Well deserved… But there is [...]
