Much like social distancing, curbside pickup, and pull your mask up ‘2020 was supposed to be my year’ is a string of words that’s lost all meaning. Unfortunately, we’ll be hearing the first three expressions for some time coming, but with 2020 now officially the past it’s pretty clear it wasn’t supposed to be anyone’s…
My first encounter with Miro’s Camaro was unfinished, cut up, and aired out sitting inside Cyrious Garageworks, and even in that very unfinished state it was obvious something incredible was in the works. Just over a week ago I had my most recent encounter with the car, and that’s when it dawned on me that it’s highly unlikely…
Basic Builds mastermind Rob Anzit recently got the chance to spend some time with Mike Pimenta (@mike_s2k) and his ’07 Honda s2000. Bagged on Airrex struts, sitting on K3 Projekt Wheels, and sporting a host of both cosmetic and functional upgrades Mike’s car makes an excellent subject for the short video Rob produced below. Rob’s previous…
Picking up where we last left off –with the cab and motor finally making their way onto the frame– Project Why Wait has hit another time warp with 90% of the front sheet metal rejoining the picture. But before we get to that, as promised, I am going to introduce the motor for the truck….
Kustoms Never Die, those exact words adorn the inside cover of my own personal copy of the Jalopy Journal. Figuratively, that phrase means the art of customizing cars –in the traditional custom with a ‘K’ sense– will never go out of style or fade from memory. Every kustom car, still with us or not, is remembered…
There are some people who make building a car a very public spectacle. I’m not talking about those who share their builds in order to benefit others and get help along the way, I’m talking about people who tease endlessly and boisterously make claims that their project is going to ‘kill the game’ and ‘set the standard’. Then there…
So much for bi-monthly updates in 2019 eh? If there’s any plus side to the extended gaps between posts it’s that significant progress has been made between each. The cover photo of this post is a bit of a spoiler, but regardless plenty has happened since we last left my humble ’51 GMC project. Picking…

Project Why Wait started with a basic idea and plenty of ‘I’ll fill in that blank later’. Brakes, motor, suspension, wheels, tires these are all things I know. So, selecting what to run for each came fairly easy. But a functioning vehicle is so much more than the big-ticket items. With all of my previous…
There’s really no good time to have your daily driver wrecked, but right after having minor paint issues fixed, redoing the air management, and detailing the car bumper to bumper has to rank up there with one of the worst. Unfortunately for me that’s the exact point my last car was written off via the blight of…
