Strip to Street Steve Sanders' 1961 Corvette
Steve bought the Corvette the summer after he graduated from High School and turned 18. He didn’t realize at the time, he bought a straight up and very used race car. Custom paint, roll cage, a 427 with a tunnel ram and two 660 Holleys. No wonder the price was reasonable, the ported heads had broken into the water jacket and filled the crankcase with water every time he started it. A large score on a cylinder wall meant a complete engine build. Engine Dynamics in Garden Grove, CA did all the honing and balancing of the engine components. The interior was gutted and even the chrome trim was deleted. Soon Steve found the engine was too hot for a 2800 pound car when the trans decided to tear...

Cruisin Brea on Fathers Day 2024
Просмотров 78День назад
Father's Day in Southern California is ripe with plenty of events. Ride out to Century Cycles was an old favorite with my motorcycle buddies. L.A. Roadsters Show is another favorite if you dig traditional hot rods and modern street rods, although now the show is only on Friday & Saturday leaving Father's Day Sunday open for others. One remarkable year was when my boy Billy and my dad hit the Ro...

I caught up with Alex Vanichuk as he made a stop on his week and a half road trip from Langley, British Columbia Canada to go to Donut Derelicts saturday morning. He and his wife left the boys at home, grabbed their dog and hit the road. This beautiful 1953 Chevrolet "tin-woodie" wagon sports a 350 SBC with a 700R trans and Vintage Air. A great cruiser for such a trip pulling a 10' tear drop tr...
Hot Rods on the Tarmac 2024
Просмотров 18721 день назад
It was hot out on the tarmac today. Mark this day July 20, 2024 because as I walk around these beautiful pieces of rolling tin my senses are time traveling back to the euphoria of post-war America. My eyes tend to go sepia, my ears are still muffled from the years of battle blasts, my nose gets sharp with oil and nitromethane. Is it really 2024 or is it 1948? I blink and the vivid colors and sh...

If you want something made in America you have to get it from a small company. Big corporations for the most part export the labor to make products cheaper, and then the consumer is always looking for the cheap then scream when wages are so low and corporations make record profits.
