If you, like me, never graduated from the ball peen hammer, Bondo and rattle can primer school of auto body repair, you are not alone. In my writing for Eastwood and visit to the SEMA show I discovered this classic how to manual on shaping metal called The Key to Metal Bumping by Martin Tool […]
Its been many weeks since I posted a Pile of the Week, but I just hadn’t seen anything horrid enough lately, until now. Stock pots are sometimes “Dutch Ovens” and gin is sometimes called “Dutch Courage”, and I could not think of a more fitting name for this bike. It certainly seems as if the […]
More gold from Craigslist, via the cars for sale section of the 24 Hours of Lemons forum. Its the Poser Mobile! I’m assuming used by Poserman, who travels the cities of the Pacific Northwest telling saving people from posers and telling bad guys their scene is OVER!!! From the look of this I’m assuming Poserman […]
This thing is so awesome/oddball I hardly know what to say. No expense was spared in making this special Super Bowl XVIII promotional vehicle, except the expense of a sign big enough to write out the words “Super Bowl” Found on Craigslist, in Tampa, Florida: http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/cto/4279887326.html “This is a custom made helmet football car built […]

Nearly a year and a 1/2 ago I posted this inventory of my garage/projects, Well I’m finally starting to see the end of the tunnel on 2 of them. The Honda MT125 Elsinore is within spitting distance of being “done” and the CB750 cafe racer is nearly a whole bike again. Back in August it […]
A friend found this Ranger, owned by someone who isn’t aware of how small it is last year. I spotted this one cruising the I-210 freeway near Los Angeles. If I had to guess I would say fully 1/4 of his payload is being eaten up by stick on chrome planted gee-gaws from J.C. Whitney […]
To a certain type of person, this estate sale was the event of the season. If you were into drag racing, Indy cars, hot rods, or sci-fi movies, the estate sale at Dean Jeffries shop on Cahuenga Blvd was a place to score some mementos, random parts at below swap meet prices or pay your […]
So what do you drive on your weekend run to the hardware store while doing errands? Many people have a dedicated, slightly beat up, more utilitarian vehicle just for this purpose. If this is “I <3 Neddy” weekend errand runner I have to wonder what else is in the garage? Of course, since a mid-80s […]
Back in June of 2011 I spotted this off-road ready Mercedes Benz Gazelle replica kit car in the parking lot of the junk yard. Well, today I saw it cruising down the street and it appears to have sprouted a full off road spec roll cage since the last time I saw it.
