Throughout an average week I get a lot of messages from people wanting me to plug one thing or another via the various Stance Is Everything social channels.
Generally these messages read something like this: “Hey I’ve got this cool photo/fanpage/contest/product could you share it for me? I’m trying to get the name out”.
This time the message read: “Hey I’m building a Jerky truck out of a 1994 Daihatsu Hijet Deck Van what do you think?”
Wait you are doing what….with what?
As it turns out Doug, the owner of jerky.com, is looking to turn his RHD micro bus into –and I quote– a bad-ass jerky slinging truck.
Why does a jerk company need a truck? Well traditionally when jerky vendors roll up to a venue to hock their wares they have to deal with set-up and tear down of a booth which as anyone who has ever set-up a booth before will tell you isn’t exactly a whole lot of fun.
If your truck is your booth however you just have to pull up and open the doors and bam your ready to sell meat to the masses.
If said truck is also a Daihatsu then it’s got the distinct advantage of being able to easily fit wherever a booth normally would and stand out at all times. Doug’s plans for the JDM imported van are outlined below.
Hopefully if the kickstarter goes through and Doug does get to work on the vehicle he won’t go too ‘Pimp My Ride’ on it and does it up something like so:
Just pretend the back of this has some sort of Jerky counter
If this sounds like the kind of thing you’d be interested in tossing a couple bucks towards check out their kickstarter. If it all goes down everyone gets some Jerky, including bacon and pineapple(!?) varieties.

This weekend I will be at CSCS Beach Burnout. In Grand Bend. Come check it out!
In other news I’m coming to realize I may have tossed in the towel again on an event calendar :/
Flashback Friday
Here’s a look to last years Beach Burnout which was the first time it had been at Grand Bend.
Back to conclude the coverage from the 2013 Niagra Tuner And Truck Expo. As I mentioned yesterday once mother nature got her act together everything worked out pretty nicely for this years show.
It’s really quite impressive how much this show has grown in a short three years and people have even started to call it the replacement to the much loved Scraped By The Lake.
I never got a chance to attend Scrape in it’s infancy but I’m told that show started off very similar to TNT. It may be putting the cart a bit ahead of the horse in hoping this show grows to that level but the potential is certainly there especially when you consider the variety, vendor support, and following it already has.
Only good things can be on the horizon.
A picture perfect example of the variety, can’t think of many other shows were you would find a fitted MR-2 parked beside a 502 powered CamaroI can only imagine how well this movesDogs are scared of big blocksLove the classic raked stance and what look to be up sized rally wheelsBrad’s MR-2 as he rolled inErik cranked his coils down a bit since the last time I saw his SaabSo glad Tom opted to colour match his hoodI’ve on and off followed the build of this car on Stance|Works, the gold accents were a bit of a surpriseEarly in the day I heard this incredibly loud whistling noise and decided to seek it out……turns out it was coming from this PontiacApparently this gentleman heard there was a car show and just showed up, he didn’t know it was a tuner/truck event so he just sat around looking like a bossFrancesco Rizzuto’s EL getting a little wetThe M Weapon e36 was part of the Pas Magazine Tuner Battlegrounds Live competition, not sure if that still went down considering one of the competitors crashed on the wayI didn’t even know angel eyes existed for this gen…Big thanks to Josh for parking beside me and reppin’ the site, he took home best Mazda 3Trevor went home with second place with his speed 3Couple Toronto Mazda 3 memebersFirst time I’ve seen Shea’s car in person with the new set-up.

Billy’s Integra
One car I spent a lot of time walking around at the Truck and Tuner Expo was Billy’s Integra , with s14 front fenders, s15 headlights, prelude tails and a custom wide body this car was designed to pull people in for a closer look.
The shape of the rear quarters throws me a little bit but the craftsmanship is absolutely incredible, hats off to Frankie Valenti for 20hz Audio fame for the body work.
Damn good panel gaps for a conversionNotice how the quarters finish factory not just in a giant hunk of bondo like many widebodiesThe intercooler feeds a boosted B series motorAs expected the interior was also done to the 9sOne final glance at a distance to give an idea of the entire look
After being unable to make the Nine-O-Five Rides Tuner and Truck Expo in 2012 I was glad the event organizers reached out with an invitation to attend and sponsor this years event.
Leading up to the show the forecast was fairly bleek and in most cases a 90% chance of thunder showers would be the kiss of death for an event. However after two succesfull years of operation people were willing to brave the rain for the 2013 TNT Expo in hopes that the lake would blow the storm elsewhere.
After a few morning showers the sky did indeed clear up and those who made the trek to Fireman’s park were rewarded with an awesome show with surprisingly great weather.
Having never been to Fireman’s park before I must say its an awesome setting for a show and allows for great photos.
A welcome change from the more standard parking lot venues.
It’s been a long time since I’ve personally attended a show with a decent amount of trucks… too long reallyThe rain showers actually opened up a lot of spectator free photo oppurtunitiesThe bed work on this c10 was superbI’d be lying if I said a 6.0 was what I expected to see under the cowl hood of this NovaIt was also nearly tucking lug at all four cornersThis F150 was part of the same crew known as “2nd Glance”The two togetherAnother 2nd Glance vehicle was the bodied s10 from yesterday’s limbo contestBrandon’s awesome GMCJames engine bay almost accuratly depicts the weather@officiallytylerjonesGot to talk to the owner of this truck briefly nice guyAnother virtually people free shot thanks to a mid morning showerClark’s s10Brighter shot from later in the dayJeff took home a well deserved best paint awardTodd I believe took home best conversionLade LowCan’t remember the last time I saw a gate mural, dug this oneThe limbo winner in the weedsNiteline Customs getting in on the loudest exhaust contestGary’s truck actually ended up being louder than the truck above….Some of you may have seen it in Wasaga the day beforeAnother look just how big the Niteline Dodge’s were…Niteline also brought out this Ford (F-100?) work in progressIt will be interesting to see how they tie in the modern dash and centre console when it’s completeThe original frame has been gutted for this tube setupThey also brought this out which took home a couple awardsIf I’m not mistaken this beast was also one of theirs. It actually chucked the accessory belt off during the loudest exhaust contestCaught this shot between revs
Check back tomorrow for the last instalment which will be mostly made up of euros and imports.
Going to switch things up a little and combine this weeks Theme Tuesday with some of the forthcoming event coverage.
This years Truck & Tuner Expo presented by Nine-0-Five Rides was awesome and one of the highlights was the vehicle limbo.
Since I’ve got a lot of coverage from this years event that I want to get up as soon as possible doing a limbo Theme Tuesday seemed like an obvious choice.
One of very few bagged Darts. May be the only one actually…Thanks to the body drop this Nova was able to hang with the newer cars with more conservative roof linesThis Golf lasted a couple roundsWasn’t sure how low this car could roll as the Watercooled IND wheels were very aggressive but he was able to ride virtually aired outOn the car side of things I was rooting for Brad in his gorgeous MR-2He was beat out by this Miata full of guys….I’m sure there’s a joke here somewhereFor the trucks this convertible ranger had little issue making it through early onBeing such a big truck things were a little tougher for this DodgeSteplock was holding it down for the full-size trucksTodd showin’ off the work he and the guys at Compound Chassis fab put in to get his truck lowThis s10 managed to hang in there a lot longer than I thoughtI’d wager on pavement he probably could have lasted a hair longer stillThis photo was well liked on facebook… give Melissa’s Fan Page like hereIn the end it was a battle between this s10….….and this MazdaBeing an s10 guy I was rooting for this…however he eventually got beat outMaking this Mazda the lowest truck of the dayWhen things were all said and done I looked down at Olive to see she was doing her best to get low also
More events should have these it’s a lot of fun and a good way to pass the time aside from just sitting around, more Truck and Tuner Expo coverage should be up tomorrow.
Lost a good one yesterday on the way to Truck & Tuner Expo. There’s some misinformation and rumours floating around regarding it’s demise but the long and short of it is heavy rain, inexperience, and high horse power were involved.
Such a shame because I quite liked the car and it was incredibly clean. The colour it was painted always made it an interesting challenge to shoot as well. There’s a lot more purple in it than the photos below really illustrate.
These photos are when the original owner (and builder) had the car on Work Rezax wheels.
These more recent ones are when the new owner took over and added the more aggressive 9.5/10.5 -6 VS-XX wheels.
Here’s the car a few minutes after the incident occurred.
Looking at the photo it’s a miracle no one was seriously hurt.
With voting for the 2013 Car Crazy Canada’s Best competition coming to a close this Sunday the Meguiar’s crew and myself thought it would be interesting to have a bit of a round table discussion about who we think is going to Vegas for SEMA 2013.
I’ve always liked the idea of round table articles and I’m very happy that each of these people took some time out of their busy day to sit down and write a few words.
Terry Denomme
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you think will win this year?
I’ve been lucky enough to see a handful of these cars firsthand while attending shows in the past few years. We’ve even featured (or plan to) some of them so it’s hard to pick just one. There are a few standouts for me however that I think should win.
Dennis Verrrier’s 1935 Northern Star Chevy Roadster is a masterpiece (and a cover car from Volume 5, Issue 5 back in 2010.) This car was a Great 8 Ridler car in 2001 so it’s my sentimental favourite as only two Canadian cars since then have earned a Great 8 honour, (Three Canadian owned cars have won the Ridler).
It started as an all-steel genuine ’35 Chevy coupe and was masterfully transformed into a custom roadster by Maurice Cahill of St. Pierre, MB and chassis fabricator Bill Bourbonnai now of Kelowna, BC. Just stunning and worthy of the title of Canada’s best.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles would you like to own ?
I love wagons so Paul Roy’s Manitoba-based 1954 Plymouth wagon would be fun to own and cruise in but I think for sheer seat of the pants fun I’d love to own Rick Lojko’s 1969 Camaro (Cambridge, ON) because its twin-turbo BBC means there’s 1,000+HP on tap if (editors note: he means when!) you want it.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you find the most interesting or unique from a build point of view?
Well, I’d have to go back to Dennis Verrier’s ’35 Chevy Roadster…the body mods are numerous..including 2” taken from rear quarters, 4” added to length of doors and ½” width, which were also rounded and given the suicide treatment.
The front fenders no longer really resemble ’35 Chevy fenders as they were lengthened 4.5” and now more resemble the sweep of a 33/34 Ford. The rear fenders were bobbed and custom running boards were fabricated…the list goes on and on.
I also think the custom work that went in to Harry Teepel’s 1950 Buick Roadmaster is unreal and especially love the hood beneath the hood look..but that’s only the beginning. Two well thought out cars built by very talented builders.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you think will win this year?
All of these vehicles are impressive with their own distinct character. It’s a difficult choice. However we see Rick Lojko’ Camaro out of Toronto to be very impressive with the potential to win.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles would you like to own ?
All of them. No. No. That’s greedy of us to say. We must admit we can draw up a sweet laundry list of vehicles to own from these Canada’s Best finalists.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you find the most interesting or unique from a build point of view?
It would be Rick Lojko’s Camaro out of Toronto. What Rick has achieved under the hood is breathtaking – 2200HP and 2100 ft/lbs of pure excitement.

Frank Maguire
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you think will win this year?
I think Perry Jamart and his 1956 Chevy 3100 will be the overall winner come Canada Day. I think Perry’s build has a very broad appeal; the style of Perry’s 3100 not only appeals to young car enthusiasts, but at the same time I can see the older guys really being wowed at the craftsmanship and the dedication that has gone into his truck.
When Meguiar’s revealed the “sweet six” earlier this week. I was shocked that Rick Lojko, and Ron Vanee were not among the top 6 in votes. However, I say this every year, anyone can win this contest. It’s all about knowing how to promote yourself.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles would you like to own ?
Without a doubt, I would take Rick Lojko’s 69′ Z28 Camaro RS, as the one responsible for gathering this year’s multimedia content for Meguiar’s I had the pleasure of photographing and filming every single finalist vehicle, and when I saw Rick’s Camaro. It was love at first sight, and that’s because the hood was open.
One look at that 2200HP/2100 FT/lbs TQ power plant and I was mesmerized! This car was a mechanical masterpiece!
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you find the most interesting or unique from a build point of view?
I would have to say that would be Scott Fitzsimmon’s 1937 Ford Pickup. The ethos on this truck is so freaking cool! The truck was once owned by legendary rocker Ronnie Hawkins; the truck originally came from Arkansas where it was used by a watermelon farmer back in the day. I thought that was a pretty cool back story.
The other vehicle that jumped out at me, is Perry’s Jamart’s 56′ Chevy 3100; I fell in love with classic trucks last year when I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with Jim McLauglin’s 3100 when he won the 2012 Canada’s Best Car Crazy Competition.
Perry’s 3100 in contrast is vastly different from Jim’s, much more appealing to someone my age. It’s bagged, has a beautiful finish and is highly modified. I don’t think there is one thing on that truck that remained stock. I love modified vehicles so this one really stood out for me.

Matt Desormeaux
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you think will win this year?
It is hard to figure that out, it all depends on how hard people work on getting votes, but also on how hard they worked on their ride. If I was to pick a ride for a possible finalist it would be hard as all the vehicles are worthy, but Perry Jamart’s Chevrolet 3100 Series definitely stands out in my mind.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles would you like to own ?
The vehicle that I would pick for myself to own would be, Paul Roy’s Plymouth Plaza Wagon 1954. The endless looks and versatility of this wagon, make it a head turner and (it has) a ton of room for packing.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you find the most interesting or unique from a build point of view?
I find everyone’s car unique. The 1954 Plymouth Plaza Wagon, is unique due to its rarity and its smooth and simple color scheme on the outside but the interior is decked out and screams attention.
About Matt Desormeaux Matt is the previous winner the Car Crazy Canada’s Best contest, taking home the prize in 2011 with his RX-7 pictured below
Arthur Chiang
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you think will win this year? Christian Vigneault’s Mustang Shelby Super Snake. Winning a vote is as much about the campaign and being able to leverage social media as it is having a vehicle with broad appeal.
I believe the Super Snake will resonate with the widest demographic and earn the win with it’s aggressive body work coupled with huge factory power in a year that we should all be celebrating the works of the great Carroll Shelby.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles would you like to own ?
My pick is Rick Lojko’s Chevrolet RS Z28 Camaro 1969. The looks is timeless, with the right mix of Vintage Muscle car aesthetic and all the modern tech to make an extremely potent street machine. The wheels are a perfect modern compliment to the menacing classic Z28 RS body.
Under the hood you have a mix of beautiful details and more power than you could ever need. Interior is subtle at first glance with a few modern updates to the classic interior.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you find the most interesting or unique from a build point of view?
Joe Siep’s Chevrolet C10 1967 strikes me as a total one off custom creation. The mantra here is pick a chassis you love, pick a drivetrain with the power you crave and make it work both mechanically and visually.
The whole build looks minimalist and modern from the interior to the engine bay, and I bet even without the supercharger this thing would have hauled.

Dave Thomas
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you think will win this year?
I’d like to see Perry Jamart’s 56 Chevy 3100 walk away with the crown this year. With a hopped up 427 under the hood, Air Ride Tech suspension, and a 4 link IRS suspension setup I’d wager this truck can get up and go a lot better than people are willing to give it credit for.
It’s really the complete package and I think the fact that it’s currently sitting in the top six is a testament to how well put together it is.
Also just look at that paint! It’ proves you don’t need to go too wild, just pick a solid colour than dances just right under the right lighting.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles would you like to own ?
Jean-Francois Croteau’s 32 Ford, It’s got that period correct look to it that will never go out of style. While my long term goal is to some day build a classic truck if I could have my cake and eat it too I’d have a truck (perhaps like Perry’s) and a 32 like Jean-Franciois.
Which of the Canada’s Best finalist vehicles do you find the most interesting or unique from a build point of view?
The most unique build I saw while the competitors were getting finalized was Harry Prokop’s Ford Anglia and I was really disappointed to hear that he couldn’t participate in the contest .
Out of the current list of finalist Paul Roy’s Plaza Wagon stands out as one of the most unique. It’s certainly not the type of thing you come across often at shows and would probably look pretty good if he threw some bags under it and let it lay frame.
Runner up for most unique would be Dave Frost’s Ranger. It’s the lone mini truck of the bunch and it’s a generation of Ranger that most people completely overlook or completely forget about.
Aside from the obviously borrowed power plant the ‘trucklet’ (sellers words) appears to be mostly stock. I say mostly because inside the factory seats have been ditched, along with the center console, but aside from that it’s factory Suzuki.
Exterior wise the 80’s paint is dust in the wind and a few things have been shaved. The seller is not the builder so the descriptions could be inaccurate but it sounds like the underside is composed of a lot of s10 parts.
I’m not sure if it would be my first choice for $11,9995 but you could certainly do a heck of a lot worse. Heck the little bed makes it almost practical.
The S10 suspension also means that it could get a heck of a lot lower… hmmmm.
On Sunday I managed to make my way over to Brimell Scion for their fourth annual “Super Tuner” event. Initially I assumed I would have to sit this event out due to the after effects of a bachelor party the previous night but to my surprise my body seemed relatively unaffected by a night of debauchery so I rolled out.
Dealership shows are always kind of hit or miss so I didn’t really know what to expect on the way to Super Tuner 4.
Being several years deep obviously worked in this shows favour because in addition to a good vehicle and spectator turnout the event had lots of food, rc drifting, a motorcycle demo, and even an FR-S pit stop challenge where people could compete to see who was the fastest at changing a spare.
Not wanting to push my luck out in the sun I didn’t stay too long but I did manage to snap a few decent shots.
Being held at a Scion dealership I might as well start with the brand. This car seemed bag territory low but I didn’t end up investigating…Clean lady driven FR-SFR-S rocking the ML24 lip kit. Hope to connect with Matthew Law for some site content soonBRZWorld project car sitting on ForegestarsTony Ho’s Civicin an off track appearanceThis EKhas a bit much going on for me personally……but it looked pretty clean physically which is nice to seeTalked to the owner of the Type R for awhile about how they really don’t need much to look good. Glad he’s on the page would be a shame to see it ruinedIt’s been at least a year since I’ve seen Brad’s bagged Civic. I think the shaved bay is a new additionI think this car may have taken home best engine bay…Wasn’t really happy with the photo of Tom’s audio setup I took at Megaspeed so I snapped another at Super TunerOn the topic of audio set-ups Sam recently began giving his an overhaul as well, eventually the old bar up top will be replacedI saw this car at the one Ertefa meet I went to this year and really liked the fitment up front……the rear is a hair on the aggressive side and the quarter has paid the price but with a little work I could see this working out very nicelyKeeping with my new habit of spying on cars from afar..One of the more recent Imports to roll out of Taylor’d Customs on airTuckin Meisters quite niceESS Tuning supercharged e46Dig the art car throwback, nice touchThanks to Salem of Too Fast for reppin the site sticker on his 350This car is incredibly clean, kudos to the ownerThere was a pretty significant motorcycle presence at this show.

I’m generally pretty lucky when it comes to scheduling events around personal commitments, for the most part things just kind of work themselves out.
There are a few exceptions to this however and one event that seems to consistently fall on a weekend I’m busy is Vanfest.
If I even think that I’m going to be available a week later I get an invitation to something I can’t skip. It sucks. Thankfully I know a lot of people who attend each year which allows access to some pretty awesome coverage.
Last year Kristina Doyle was behind the lens and this year it’s Adam Douglas picking up the camera in one hand and and adult beverage in the other.
As always it looks like a great event and as always I wish I was there.
Since this coverage is going to be mostly trucks here’s a wild Van to put the Van in VanfestExecuting a theme to the fullestVery interesting work in progress… C5 Vette wheels?Awesome cream coloured CaddyFist gen s10s a plenty at VanfestAwesome IRS and bed set-up in this first genLove the subtle details in this paint, almost didn’t notice those scallops at first glanceJames has had a few issues with this truck this year but I’m assuming they all got sorted outThe Tiki truck reppin Low Class Customz with it’s roof rack full of accessoriesJeff and his wildly popular daily driverThings go up as well as down at VanfestThis would roll over my car as if it were a speed bumpHard to beat a laid out C10Chris (whose truck you may remember from Importfest last year) recently added suicide doors and brought his truck back to primerCan’t wait to see it in paint for a second time aroundNice looking ’51 or so FordMatt’s RangerI love the classic style of this truck, it’s the exact thing that got me interested in Minis way backGary’s Ranger which I need to shoot..Those of you that read Minitruckin’ may remember this truck from the cover not too long ago……those of you who don’t might remember me drooling over it in the Detroit Autorama coverageSo stoked that this truck has found a home locallyHope to see more of it soonChris Grantham’s project ‘Dool-Eh’He’s been posting teasers of the build on facebook for awhile, looks like it was a hit at the showRob’s International now with more doorsThis truck gets more insane every time I see itThis brings a very specific Biggie/Too $hort song to mind
Thanks once again to Adam Douglas for the coverage.
I think I’m out of friends/family who are going to get married so hopefully I can be around for 19… if not maybe I should just make plans for 20 now.
