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…
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…
Project Why Wait started off the year with what I thought was a serious head of steam. My goal was to do religious updates and make some real progress before spring hit. Then, I thought it would be smart to enter a 30+ BMX contest. One unintentional 360 to flat later and I was left…
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…
Being one of the most well-known Rangers to come out of Ontario Gary’s truck really needs no introduction. It’s appeared here in event coverage several times over, and been featured by a few other noteworthy media outlets. About a week ago Rob Anzit, of Basic Builds, got some one-on-one time with the truck and produced…
Mike Pimmenta and Steve Luangpakdy ran around last summer with two of the most polarizing bagged Honda vehicles in the GTA. Mike’s car seemed to appear virtually out of nowhere completely finished, while Steve’s was a long time coming towards its current look. Though these two cars have no problem standing out on their own together…
It seems cliché to say it, especially considering how often I say it when I post this car but, Brad’s LS3 powered Miata is one of the best built driven cars I’ve come across. Brad’s car also has the distinction of being one of the few cars I vividly remember seeing for the first time…
Hubris is defined as excessive self-pride or self-confidence and I while I’m not sure about the excessive self-pride, I certainly had a lot of confidence heading into this project. Confidence isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and mine isn’t gone, but, the “Yeah I’ve got this, no big deal” mind-set I had certainly needed to be checked….
Sitting in the deep bucket Bride seat as we moved from the first shoot location to the next, it became immediately apparent to me that the 240 featured today is a driver’s car. The ride is firm, there’s a satisfying clunk when put into gear and the sound of the L28 motor tempts you to…
