Ford

If you listen very carefully you can just about make out the sound of thousands of purists screaming over the image of a classic Mustang turned into a proper mud runner. Yes, the clapped out classic on a truck frame isn't exactly a new concept (heck I've posted a bunch previously), but something about this one being properly thrashed --on numerous occasions-- screamed out "Post me".

While on the Los Boulevardos forums getting my fill of builds that are too late, too low rider, and too custom, I came across this really cool 61 Ford Pick up build that was cross linked to the Hokey Ass Message Board. Originally intended to be a shop truck this build snowballed after the animal faeces were removed and things turned out to be a little rougher than the builder thought.

Jumping on the #throwbackthursday vibe this week with some 2012 event coverage that has yet to see the light of day. This coverage was originally intended to follow up another unreleased post, but somehow both got lost in the shuffle that was summer of 2012.

After posting a flared yellow Pantera, and Brian Hobaugh's Optima Street Car Challenge winning Corvette nearly back-to-back on the fan page it dawned on me that it's been a long time since the I last dedicated a Theme Tuesday to flared/wide bodied  American Cars. In fact it's been about two years and thats too damn long, sorry for keeping you waiting, here's part two.

The way I see it there are two ways to put a car up on it's bumper. A talented person with a switch box manipulating the flow of hydraulic fluid, or raw stump pulling power. In my opinion both are awesome and as such both are showcased in today's post, enjoy.

Back with more from SEMA 2013 coverage from the Performance Improvements gang. Today's collection of photos is mostly from the South Hall with a few cars from outside the convention center thrown in for good measure. Look for at least one more batch of SEMA coverage to come before we move onto the Texas Mile.

Rob from Performance Improvements shot me a message yesterday that he was wrapping up his photos from SEMA 2013 and to let him know if there was anything specific I wanted photos of. Without a moments hesitation I said I need (not want) more photos of the all wheel drive '32 Ford I've seen kicking around.

This Courier ended up on my screen a couple months ago while gathering photos for a Theme Tuesday and quite honestly blew me away. I'm not sure I have ever seen a Courier before (stock or otherwise) so happening across this was pretty rad, more rad is the fact that it is an Ontario build.

Back today with part two of the coverage from the CSCS Finale which is a small set of non action oriented photos. To my surprise there were a few cars at the finale I had not seen the entire season including one car I've never seen in person period. This isn't an exhaustive coverage of the show and shine but more a selection of vehicles and compositions that caught my eye. Enjoy!

While s-chassis and AE86s have proven themselves tim,e and time, again as capable drift cars I'm positive I am not alone in wishing that there was a little more vehicle variety in the drifting world. Sure it might not be the most cost efficient way to go about things but there is something to be said for those who do things the hard way.

While reading another excellent Keith Charvonia feature on SpeedHunters it became alarmingly apparent that I have yet to do a Theme Tuesday on the classic white wall tire. Unsurprisingly there were a number of cars equipped with said tires on my hard drive so this one came together fairly quickly.

Historically Vagkraft has been a show I have always enjoyed due to it's laid back nature, great organization, and incredibly large turnout. Last year I ran into a bit of a scheduling conflict and was unable to attend but this year I cleared all that up in advance so I could head over to the Powerade Centre for a few hours and see what was up.
