Lots of rods can be described as “sick,” but few go as far as the Blastolene Brothers. From their first manic machine, the “Blastolene Special,” artists Michael Leeds & Randy Grub have been creating some of the largest and most insane machines out there. Of course, it’s theoretically easy to just build big to stand [...]
It’s hard to believe that July is almost half over now, which means the cruise season is reaching its peak. And although several of the big shows are still coming up, many of the more notable shows have already come and gone. Two of those great shows-the small yet venerable “Henry Ford’s Birthday” show & [...]
Kyle’s ’68 Camaro looks right at home behind the Assiniboia Downs raceway at this year’s MAAC Swap Meet.
Cruise nights are becoming a greater and greater phenomenon, as baby boomers retire and suddenly find the time to build that hot rod they dreamed about as a kid. A&W Canada has always been a big supporter of our passion through their “Cruisin’ the Dub” nights held across Canada. The small, semi-formal car shows are [...]
How often have you watched all those specialty trucks and tractors buzzing around the airport and wondered what it would be like to drive them. This rather random advertisement from Cadbury (yes, the chocolate people) asks a more important question-what would it be like to race them?

Tune in again to hear the “That Guy” story of how Zora Arkus-Duntov invented the Mustang with a toothbrush, two pencil sharpeners, and a [...]
Dale Knox’s ’51 Mercury (named “Merphy the Mercury”) was a long time in the making, but well worth it. The turquoise machine started out as a Mercury M-100 (a Ford-based truck sold only in Canada), found rotting away in the bushes several years ago. With a little imagination (and a lot of oldskool lead body [...]
If you’ve ever had a bad customer experience, you have probably gone through the usual drill-calling complaint lines, writing letters, bitching to friends, et cetera. And where does it get you? Nowhere. Trust a retail escapee-turned-unemployed-blogger, we they just stand around and complain about you as soon as your back is turned. Seriously. So if [...]
With so few rear-wheel-drive vehicles that can fit a V8 engine on the used car market today, hot rodders are turning more and more to trucks and SUV’s to fill their need for speed. This little Chevy was found at a cruise night in Brandon, getting just as much attention as some of the Camaros [...]
