Bonnie gets an Interior! Choose which one!

I’ve written before that the new friends I’ve made after starting MyRideisMe.com are so much better then the friends I used to have. Wait, no… I mean… I’ve met some great people. One of those outstanding new friends is Jimmy Smith from Jimmy’s Hot Rod Design. I called Jimmy to see if he could give [...]

Bodywork 101 - Patience to make it flat

You can’t expect to learn bodywork in 1 afternoon, no matter how good the teacher is, but one thing’s for certain: You’ll never learn unless you get in there and try it. This blog and the ones that will follow will show some basic bodywork techniques anyone can do (especially if I can do it!). Since I’m starting from nothing, I hope the pictures and videos will help you get started too. Just starting, that’s where I am with my 1963 Falcon Wagon build.

Unless the builder took great pics and brought them, it’s tough to fully appreciate what it took to bring...

Bugatti Veyron Top Speed Video

With Youtube, you can spend all day watching car videos. (I’d never do that!) I found a few about the most amazing production car ever made. The Bugatti Veyron. 250+ mph with air and a stereo. Wow. 16.4 liters, 4 turbos and 10 radiators to keep it all cool. So check out this video from Top Gear. They’re at the VW test trace on a 5 mile long straight running the Veyron up to it’s top speed. Then, just for fun, check these out. Seems like everyone wants to race the...
