Mini Moto Lab‘s latest build, Ms. Fat Booty, started out as a small side project for co-owner Anthony’s girlfriend to cruise around on and was nearly completed four years ago before life got in the way and the build was torn apart and shoved in a box. Brought back out years later as a much…

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…
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…
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….
About a year ago I received an email from then stranger Bob Ward, asking if I would be interested in shooting his project ’52 GMC 9700. Inside the email Bob included a few images along with a link to his build thread on 67-72trucks.com. After giving the thread a quick skim –I’ve since read it several times…
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…

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…
After unboxing the Langes Shop (now LS Fabrication) firewall fillers in the last Project Why Wait update I had a bit of a “what have I got myself into” moment when reality set in. I’d never welded sheet metal before and I was about to cut out my firewall. Reading about it, and watching others…
The last Project Why Wait update marked the first time the cab made an appearance since 2016. If you were excited for more metal work I’m sorry. It’s coming, but for this post the cab is back in the corner while I button up a bit more of the chassis. The chassis is currently on the…
