Safety concerns

I love to watch all the Powerblock shows, and pick up any ideas that I can apply to my projects and friends toys, but unfortunately once in a while I see things on some episodes that are considered no no's and definitely DO NOT DO's !! One no no that I saw, was mounting the Ford cab on the Dodge chassis, by drilling through the top flange of the frame,the one sticker you see on the frame of new Semi's,as well as in the safety manual, "do not weld or drill frame flanges"...THAT is a frame… Continue

Building engines

      I have truly enjoyed over the years the engines and horsepower gains that can be achieved.

With that said some are very over the top and out of reach of the back yard mechanic. I have personally built some over the top engines in my past, but with my being laid off for the past 4 months it has made even maintaining my 79 Bronco almost impossible.

      I would like to see rebuilding of the less popular engines like the 351 and 400Modified engines, with a focus on…

1963 STUDEBAKER WAGONAIR

 1963  Studebaker Wagonaire: Old station wagons are hot, but few Studebaker Wagonaires ever seem to surface. A pity, as they could be ordered with column shift manual transmissions and V-8s with four barrel carburetors. A unique sliding roof over the cargo area also meant that everything from surfboards to refrigerators could be carried inside.
