I’m getting The 55 ready to go to Phoenix in a couple of weeks. I’m going to meet Kyle and Bam who I know from the Hot Rod Power Tour. They’re righteous dudes. They’ll be in the Prestone big-rig with a caravan of cars following them out to LA. All to celebrate Prestone’s 90th anniversary. It … More The 55’s Daily Carry
It’s been awhile since I’ve given you an update on the 55. Here it goes. Earlier this year Lucky put the 55 on a strict no-carb diet and installed a Holley Sniper Electronic Fuel Injection system with an AeroMotive Phantom 340 in-tank fuel pump and an MSD Pro-Billet Distributor and coil. The 55 starts and … More The 55 Update
A few weeks ago I had the privilege of going to The Mullin Automotive Museum. Peter Mullin is the guy behind the Mullin Automotive Museum just north of Los Angeles in Oxnard, CA. He’s a car-guy who made a few bucks in finance, sold his company and retired to do philanthropic work. The Mullin is … More Citroens at The Mullin
I just got back from the 2017 Car Craft Summer Nationals and I had a blast! I arrived in Bowling Green a day early to get acclimated. We went over to the Raceway to get a lay of the land and to see where everything was set up. After driving thru the beautiful green rolling … More 2017 Car Craft Summer Nationals
I think the 2017 Hot Rod Power Tour was the best one yet. For me it was a combination of catching up with old friends and making new ones. This year CB & I flew in a day early. My buddy Rio took time out of his busy schedule as the Commander of the 303rd … More Hot Rod Power Tour 2017

My flight landed a little after 5am. The first thing I always do when I fly into DTW is go all the way down to Gate 78 for some Chic-Fil-A. But they didn’t open until 6am… I couldn’t wait until 6am! I had places to be and things to do. I picked up my bag, … More Detroit: “The D”
As my Uber driver pulled into the hotel parking lot I immediately saw a row of hot rods parked off to the side. I got out of the Uber, got my bag and I heard someone yell: “Jeff!” It was starting already. I looked over and it was Ken, the guy who had won the … More 2016 Car Craft Summer Nationals
Earlier this year I went over to the Hot Rod Magazine offices to pick up some missing issues. While I was there, I saw a super tuff 66 Chevelle sitting there in the parking lot. I took some pictures and posted ‘em up on Instagram, FaceBook & Twitter. A little while later a friend of … More Lakeside 64
It’s amazing the difference a new set of tires can make. I used think that tires are tires. If I got a set of 245/50R17 in Brand X they’d feel the same as a set of 245/50R17 in Brand Y, right?? I mean, with the exception of the really high performance tires, I kinda thought … More Angeles Forest Highway
