For St. Patricks Day, we were going to share a traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage. But we can’t cook–and we didn’t know where to send your invitation. Instead, we opted to whip up something everyone can appreciate: a St. Patrick’s photo gallery of some of our favorite green hot rods from various shows
With apologies to Dupli-Color, its latest project vehicle is quite half-baked. Actually, the paint pros at Dupli-Color are the first to admit it, and in fact, they’re quite proud of the results. That’s because they purposely completed only half of the project, a 1979 El Camino, to prove a point. The run-down Elky was restored
Horsepower is the holy grail of high performance. We love it. We want more of it. We can never seem to get enough of it. So why do many people waste horsepower once they find it? In the seemingly endless search for more horses, muscle car and race enthusiasts often squander existing horsepower by using
Who came up with the phrase, “spring cleaning?” The idea of one massive spring cleaning—an all-out offensive where we conquer a year’s worth of dirt and clutter—sounds good in theory. But for most people, cleaning and organizing is a year-long battle. That rings especially true for car guys who constantly find themselves looking for lost

There are a lot of cool jobs in the world: professional beer tester…pool boy at Charlie Sheen’s mansion…roadie for Air Supply. Ah yes, we can all dare to dream, but many of us have given up on finding our ideal job (except for the beer testing thing). Not so for Ron Bachmann, who has been
[portfolio_slideshow id=5683] First, a confession: Originally, I was going to write a post on how to install the Hypertech HyperPAC on your diesel-powered vehicle. Then I realized…there really isn’t an installation. You simply plug the HyperPAC into your vehicle’s diagnostic port and mount the computer’s four-inch screen to the dash using the included suction cup
We’ve titled this post “Air Intakes 101.” It’s not the most creative title for a post, but it fits the topic in so many ways. For starters, most air intakes are inherently a “101” part—a basic, entry-level upgrade that novice and seasoned tuners like for a quick, bolt-on performance boost. Taking the 101 concept a
[portfolio_slideshow id=6606] Depending on who you ask, automotive fuel injection was either the greatest invention since the internal combustion engine—or the seventh sign of the Apocalypse along with locusts, the plague, and the automatic transmission.

March can be a cruel, crazy month. Mother Nature teases us with glimpses of sunlight and warmer weather, and thanks to Daylight Saving Time, we’re no longer living in the proverbial dark ages.
