Rolling Like A Very Important Person

The posts previous to this, and at least a few posts to follow, have been dedicated to the 2018 SEMA show. As you already know I returned this year after a few years away. My return...

Event Coverage: SEMA 2018 Pt. 1

Plagued slightly in recent years by unfinished builds SEMA 2018 reset the bar for one of the biggest shows in the world. Quality was the name of the game at this show.

Motor Monday: A 1970 Trans Am Like None Other

SEMA, the big show. A show which the past three years I've watched from the sidelines back here in Ontario. This year however, with the recent up turn in freelance work, I was able to...

Drifting Through The Eyes Of A Four Year Old Boy

Since about six months of age, maybe even a bit younger, I've been taking my son Ash to events with me. He's been to Monster Jams, car shows of all varieties, drag strips, and road...

WTF Friday: Party At Each End

Monte Carlo SS front end, C5 back end, this S10 is one heck of a GM parts dive.

WTF Friday: The Party Is Round Back

This has got to be a first for WTF Friday; a mid engine car that's been created by simply moving the motor from under the hood to behind the front seats.

These days he has focused his passion towards photography and has approached it with the same mindset.
