Ernie’s Dwarf Cars – teaser

· 1 Comment ·

This look fun, can’t wait for the full movie

“His family lived next to the town dump when he was a kid in Nebraska. It’s where they got their furniture, their flooring, and by selling items, their Christmas money. But it’s also how Ernie Adams learned his craft, how to make things, especially how to put motors on things with wheels.
Now 72 years old, Ernie looks back at a life including patented inventions, the creation of a new class of stock car racing, and currently, the building – from scratch, by hand – of immaculate, scaled-down, street legal replicas of vintage American autos.

You can visit his workshop deep in the Arizona desert, but don’t bother asking to buy one of his Dwarf Cars – he never sells anything he creates.”

[Coming January 2013]

Roadkill Episode 11

· 1 Comment ·

Finaly another episode of the best car show on Youtube.

“On this episode of Roadkill, David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of HOT ROD magazine fly out of town, buy a car from a junkyard, make it run and drive, do burnouts, add nitrous, drag race twice, almost die, and the auction off the car at the end. The scene begins at CTC Auto Ranch in Denton, Texas, where the guys score a ’67 Plymouth Barracuda with a 360 V8, but without a carburetor, interior, glass, or brakes. By the time they sort out a number of other mechanical woes, they’re off for some burnouts and some racing at North Star Dragway, right next to the Auto Ranch. Then it’s a 300-mile drive to Houston for the NMCA Lone Star Nationals race. But, as you’ve come to expect from these guys, that doesn’t exactly go smoothly. But then they add NOS nitrous and it makes everything ok as they hang out with Jeff Lutz and Tim Reed from HOT ROD Drag Week right before they have to sell the car and hit the plane home.

The Real Thing

· Leave a comment ·

It’s quite on the update front i know, but here you can enjoy a nice movie for 5 minutes.

“THE REAL THING is a short documentary about custom hot rod builder BODIE STROUD and his re-imagining of a classic Mustang by way of an extremely rare and powerful motor built specifically for legendary racer Mario Andretti’s 1969 Can Am series race car.
The film follows the complex and creative build from its early stages, through its initial test drive all the way to an unveiling at the SEMA Car Show in Las Vegas where Bodie comes face to face with Mario Andretti himself.”
