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 [...]
BangShift Question Of The Day: What Is The Stupidest Thing You’ve Been Pulled Over For?
Posted in BangShift Question Of The Day?? August 24, 2012 by Chad Reynolds
> >
Looking at the troubles that our fellow hot rodders in the UK may be in, got us thinking. There are too many stupid pieces of automotive legislation to list, but what are your favorites for the ultimate list of stupid automotive laws or regulations? And what is the stupidest one that you’ve actually been pulled [...]
Question of the Day: What Was Your Ridiculous Pre-Teen Car Crush?
Posted in BangShift Question Of The Day?? April 5, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

I was cruising down the road yesterday minding my own business and silently cursing the eco-douche in front of me in the hybrid when my eyes caught one of the weirder things I have seen in a while. There to the left of me was a mid-1980s Lamborghini Countach sitting in the parking lot of [...]
Question of the Day: What’s the Best Car Song Ever?
Posted in BangShift Question Of The Day?? May 22, 2012 by Brian Lohnes
> >
One of the sad ways to tell that cars have largely fallen off of the cultural map these days is the fact that there are no car songs on popular radio anymore. That may be a good thing, because it would probably be a horrifying tune that praised the hell of out of a Camry [...]
Question of the Day: Given the Chance, What Historic Race Car Would You Drive?
Posted in BangShift Question Of The Day?? June 8, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

When writing about Cotton Owens’ passing yesterday, I of course thought of his cool “Cotton Picker” match bash wagon right off the bat. It got me to thinking about what single race car I would drive from the annals of history, given the chance. I was thinking about one of the GT40s that won LeMans, [...]
Video: A Preview To The New Rich Christensen Drag Race Show – “Won And Done” – Will You Watch?

Love him or hate him, Rich Christensen caught drag race lightning in a bottle with his shows Pinks and Pinks All Out which both had successful multi-season runs on the Speed channel before going off the air. He did what many said was impossible for decades and turned truly grassroots drag racing into must see [...]

We remember when the “Street Freak” era was hot, tubs weren’t cool, and gassers weren’t the only thing with a straight axle. Of course if you really wanted to be the dude you also had 18 colors of paint and an actual name written on your car somewhere. Well, this Skylark isn’t quite up to [...]

Yesterday two cool Jeep trucks battled it out but today we have literal cinematic titans attacking one another. Today is the ultra classic British cool versus American bad ass cool. But before we get into all that, let’s check the tale of the tape from yesterday: Today’s battle is nearly beyond description. Two insanely well [...]
Question of the Day: What is the Worst Automotive Innovation Ever?
Posted in BangShift Question Of The Day?? May 10, 2012 by Brian Lohnes

We live in an age where cars are packed with some incredible technology. From anti-lock brakes to active cruise control that will automatically slow your car with traffic, to cars that can literally park themselves, driving is becoming more and more of a spectator sport. This is not BangShifty at all because we love driving [...]
Crazy Photos: The Most Insanely Used Up Brake Rotor in the History of Mankind

(Photos by Jay Spinella) – Admittedly, when I got these photos from Jay Spinella on Saturday, I had imbibed a few adult beverages, so you’ll understand when I was wondering what in the Hell he would send me photos of a weird saw blade. Then I figured out it was the remains of a 100% annihilated brake [...]
Best of BS 2012: Kar Feature – The Incredible Hulk – An Evil, 1964 Chrysler 300K That Runs 8s!

While standing at the wall shooting photos at the 2012 Holley NHRR, I heard a blown car fire up in the staging lanes and head toward the track. Having been around drag strips for as long and as often as I have been, I’ve developed a decent ear for stuff that sounds good, stuff that [...]
BangShift Question Of The Day: Why Don’t Hot Rods Get Driven More Often?

We’ve all seen it. Hell, most of us have been this guy at one point or another. The dude that makes a short drive, or trailers his car, to a car show and then sits around all day in a lawn chair may be having fun with his car, but why won’t that same guy [...]
