Ride of the Day: 2003 Ford Mustang

Friday, November 30th, 2007

With all attention focused on the latest and greatest Mustang generation, it’s easy to forget that the models from just a few years ago — with a few mods — will still smoke your ass on the strip. That’s exactly what John from Ontario had in mind when he built his 2003 Stang dubbed “Northern […]

Hot Wheels + PPG = Free Sema Trip (Maybe)

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Everyone has a project in their garage that needs some paintwork. It might be rusty right now, but with a little time and effort, maybe it’ll be ready for paint sometime soon, right? If that sounds like you – and you’d like to go to the SEMA show this year for free — you might want […]

Bully Dog Nitrous Kits — For Diesels

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Just ’cause you have a diesel doesn’t mean it shouldn’t go fast, too. Bully Dog has been twisting diesel-powered rides into nitrous-powered whoop-ass machines — via products like the Kicker kit pictured above — for a few years now. The results:  behemoth trucks that can snap your neck.

Ride of the Day: 2002 GMC Sonoma

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Some people never grow up, and that’s good thing in our book. Take Richard from Alberta, for example. He dug Hotwheels so much as a kid that he decided to build one of his own as a daily driver. So he took a very bland-looking GMC Sonoma and turned it into a sweet-ass street cruiser.

Technostalgia’s LED Taillights

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Technostalgia’s tag line – “Today’s Technology, Yesterday’s Cars” – pretty much sums up the spirit of the resto-rod phenomenon, and they’ve made a name for themselves supplying LED lights to fit classic cars. The one pictured above is a complete taillamp housing for a 1940 Ford that includes bright, modern LEDs for stop, tail, and turn signal […]
