Mini-Feature: A 1957 International Welding Truck That’s The Same As It Was When It Left The Job Site
Examining Atlas: We Look At Ford’s Concept Truck Of The (Not So Distant) Future
Ford F-series trucks are serious business for the blue oval gang. They sell more of these trucks than some car companies sell of their entire lineup over the course of a year and the trucks are a huge profit center for the company. As such, Ford invests lots of people and resources to make sure [...]
Show Gallery: Vintage Torque Fest 2013 – Traditional Rods and Kustoms Galore!
(Photos by Dom Damato/DRD Photography) – Earlier this month, our man Dom Damato attended the 2013 version of the Vintage Torque Fest. This show is a celebration of the traditional end of the hot rodding world with lots of cool rides, art, and people in 1950s garb having a good time. The weather was tough [...]

(Photos by Tommy Lee Byrd) – It was way cool hanging out with Tommy Lee Byrd on Friday afternoon and evening at the 2013 Goodguys Nashville Nationals. He had come out from his home base in the Chattanooga area to scope out the event, shoot photos, and enjoy the show. We grabbed him for dinner [...]
Show Gallery: The 2013 Goodguys Nashville Nationals – Rods, Muscle, Trucks, Rain and More!
(Words and photos by Tommy Lee Byrd) – We love Goodguys events, mainly because they’re not your typical car show. It’s much more than that, and it actually involves beating on your car, which is totally our style. This past weekend we checked out the Goodguys Nashville Nationals at LP Field and had a great [...]
Mini-Feature: A 1957 International Welding Truck That’s The Same As It Was When It Left The Job Site
(Words and photos by Greg Rourke) - We sometimes see a guy at car shows with a 1957 International Harvester pickup. He tells us his grandfather bought the truck brand new, and converted it for his job as a pipeline welder. The welder/generator is belt driven off the driveshaft, there is a gearbox that allows either [...]
EBay Find: Killer 1973 Checker Aerobus 8-Door Limo
Posted in eBay Find February 8, 2010 by Brian Lohnes

Over the last year or so, we’ve not only been introduced to the coolness that is an airport limo, we’ve also begun to really dig them. We got tipped off to this totally neato 1973 Checker model and we want to justify the purchase to our significant other. Anyone got any good reasoning in their [...]
Speedy Says: Here are the Rules NASCAR Should Adopt
Posted in General News February 8, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
The mere suggestion that NASCAR is going to drift away from the hated “Car of Tomorrow” toward something that looks more like a production car has spurred a huge debate among BangShifters. The crux of the debate is how much “stock” is necessary in a “stock car.” Some say merely re-skinning the current NASCAR chassis [...]
Monday Time Killer: NorwoodArena.Com
Posted in General News February 8, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
The Norwood Arena, a long dead quarter-mile oval track loacted in Norwood, Massachusetts, was for decades considered one of the top short oval tracks in America. Originally the facility was built to host greyhound dog racing, but the state failed to legalize gambling, so in 1948 the track started hosting midget races that, over time, [...]

This week we’re taking our Parting Shift blog item down south. We’re headed to historic Greer Dragway in Greer, South Carolina. We’ll make things even sweeter by telling you that this gear jammer is equipped with a Jerico clutchless four-speed. What’s even cooler than the in-car gear banging is the scenery of a truly old [...]
Fun Video: Killer Vintage Camper For VW Beetles

File this one under, “ain’t never seen that before”, for us anyway. We were tipped off to this cool video featuring a camper from the mid 1970′s designed for use by small cars. The totally awesome part about it is that when used with a VW Beetle, as the video shows, the car can turn [...]

Randy Bernard, the former head of the Professional Bull Riders Inc., has been named the new CEO of the Indy Racing League in a move that will either be heralded as a great moment of the series or derided as a huge mistake. Bernard’s work during his 15-year stint at the helm of the PBR [...]
Video: Blastro, The Pro Mod Astro Van
Posted in RACING & ACTION February 5, 2010 by Brian Lohnes

Blastro is a blown, alky swilling, tube-chassis version of a Chevy Astro van. It’s bat poop crazy and we love it. After dropping the video of the A-Team van on you yesterday we needed a little van follow-up. While it may not be the quickest thing ever to head down a strip, and calling it [...]
Michigan Sheriff Turning Confiscated Cars into Police Vehicles
Posted in General News February 5, 2010 by Brian Lohnes

Police departments seizing the property of drug dealers is nothing new. The idea of using cars taken from dirtbags as some type of community vehicle isn’t new either. One sheriff in Saginaw, Michigan, has come up with a new idea though, using those cars to replace aging vehicles in the police motorpool for every day [...]

Craigslist Pick: Big Buck 1952 Ford Truck
Posted in General News February 5, 2010 by Brian Lohnes
> >
This 1952 F1 truck, for sale in Athens, Georgia is a nice piece. It is sporting a flat head, a C4, and what seem to be Mustang Bullitt wheels. It is also equipped with a major league price tag of $52,000. As cool as this truck is, we’re not sure it’s $52,000 worth of cool. [...]
