(Words and Photos by Joe Grippo) We recently returned from a whirlwind week in California, we put a load of miles on our rental F150 crisscrossing the southern end of the state. We stopped at a ton of cool Bangshifty locations, culminating in a few glorious days attending Grand National Roadster Show at the Pomona Fairplex. I set up a few destinations ahead of time and others we just showed up unannounced. First stop was down in Orange, Ca to see my buddy Jimmy White, owner of Circle City Hot Rods. I first got to know Jimmy through the almighty Facebook, where I sold him a set of Mickey Thomps ..read more

With all the work that has gone into this thing to make it run and drive for the first time in 50 years, it is great to see that the IronTrap boys are also making sure it looks like the hot rod that the originally builder probably envisioned. With the chop top, front and rear lowering job, new 331 Caddy for power, and body mods, it’s time to get the hood to close and fit just right. There’s still a lot of good things to come on this project, but this one is pretty creative and cool.
In a previous videos we shared the 1938 Ford Convertible Hot Rod that the guys at Iron Trap Garage found stashed ..read more

Who doesn’t love a father son road trip? And what better way to enjoy one than to buy a Mustang II drag car, that hasn’t been raced in a long time, and make it ready to drive across the country? I mean what could possibly go wrong? I think the trip will be ultra comfortable and without any drama. LOL Okay so we all know tha ..read more

We’ve got our fourth photo gallery from the PDRA East Coast Nationals below, but if you missed the previous galleries from the race, you can use the link we’ve included as well.
(Photos by David Whealon) The PDRA East Coast Nationals at GALOT Motorsports Park were some badass drag races and for good reason. This is one of the coolest dragstrips in the country, and when the PDRA is in town the crowds are always great. With Pro Nitrous, Pro Boost, Extreme Pro Stock, Pro Street, and more, there is no shortage of great racing action for the fans to see. Lucky for us, David Whealon was on hand ..read more

Puddin’s Fab Shop is one of our regular haunts on YouTube and regulars to the channel will know that he’s had a Model A Ford sitting out behind his shop, waiting for its turn to get built. That’s why he called it the Someday Model A. But there have been some changes to the plan and that means another Model A is coming into the shop. You gotta check this out, because this is going to be one cool project for sure. We’ve got the first two videos in the series below, so watch and let us know what you think about this whole plan.
And do you prefer a full fendered hot rod or a fenderless hot rod ..read more

The Southeast Gassers Association puts on some of the most fun drag racing in the world. It’s an awesome series with old school gassers being driven like God intended and they certainly know how to put on a show. That’s why every single venue is packed with spectators and racers. We love this series and one of our favorite things are the names and characters that have been created by the owners, drivers, and teams. With the ladies of the Southeast Gassers Association also playing a big part in the starting line antics and the looks of the series, it’s a full team effort and we dig it.

Tommy Lee Byrd, the Hot Rod Hoarder, is always finding super rad rides to highlight and feature in his videos and this one here is no exception. With a destroked Lingenfelter built small-block under the hood and all the right vintage parts, it’s a serious throwback that we love. Check out the writeup below and let us know what you think of this rad Corvette.
Video Description:
Destroying a ’63 Corvette split window coupe to turn it into a drag car was common practice in the ’60s and ’70s. These cars were cool, but they were not the six-figure collector cars they are today. And as it turns out ..read more

Tons baby. That’s what everyone wants under their off-road rig and we understand. After all, if you are going big tires for the rocks or mud or whatever then you need an axle housing that can live through the punishment and that can house a ring and pinion big enough to handle the torque you are going to throw at it and axles that are equally up to the task. In this video, Ian Johnson from Big Tire Garage is going to show you why a one ton axle might not be the only choice. This is how to build a Semi Float Dana 60 for your Jeep JK.
