Fast cars are good looking cars.  Not because good looking cars are fast, but because ugly cars are slow.  Keep in mind of course that looks are subjective, and there is nothing preventing the prettiest car in the world from being an AW11 MR2… in your eyes.  It feels like I’m BSing you but I’m not. After a hard days […]

You might have read about my trashed Hayashi Bombers: straight wheels that sat in a yard outside of Shizuoka for the past 15 years.  Corroded to hell and very ugly.  I’m currently also sitting on a set of Advan A3A’s.  The A3A’s were in pretty good condition.  The pierce bolts and inner shells were a bit corroded, but for the […]

I was hoping that the “Long Boss” might be me… and not only my creation.  Not if I can’t weld any better than that though.  I can barely lay a straight bead on a nice flat steel joint.  I cannot lay a straight bead around a 2.5″ pipe. I like a close “handoru.”  Steering wheel quick releases are cool, but […]

If you’re looking for a “how-to” get disappointed.  If you have the tools then there is probably nothing I can show you.  Look at my welding getting better though… I think… for like 3″ at least. That’s the whole thing.  I made it out of 10 gauge bar and then boxed it for strength.  I don’t think I’d want to […]
