Paul Kalenian’s All Aluminum, Water Jet Cut, Home Built Special, Lulu

By Paul Crowe

If you're a man of a certain age, like I am, you might remember Mickey Thompson's Indy Racer, the Harvey Aluminum Special from the early 60s. It impressed me at the time, because of its unique look, a wide and flat oval cross section and small 12 inch wheels with low profile tires. It resembled a roller skate of sorts and it picked up the nickname of the roller skate car. I … [Read more...]

When the Factory Gets it Wrong and You Have to Fix it

By Paul Crowe

The beginning of a very long day

After clearing out all of this new workspace in the garage, I was looking for a worthy first project so I thought I'd start by changing the spark plugs on my F150. If you're thinking plug changes are easy, you have to know this is a 2004 Ford F150 with a Triton V8 engine. So what, you might ask? Well, back in the early 2000s, they designed the Triton V8 with a somewhat unique … [Read more...]

Reclaiming Garage Space and Contemplating Life

By Paul Crowe

Room to work. Isn't it amazing what a shed can do?

It happens slowly, after all it's just a walk behind lawn mower, but it takes a really long time to mow the lawn that way and who wants to mow for hours, so a lawn tractor makes sense, right?

Make Your New CB1100 Look Like a Classic CB750 with This Kit From Whitehouse

By Paul Crowe

These 4 into 4 pipes complete the retro look

A few years ago I wrote about a motorcycle that looked just like a CB750, except it wasn't, it was a new Honda CB1100 fitted with a CB1100 Four K10 kit that swapped out the tank, side covers and a lot of other pieces to make the already somewhat retro CB1100 into a very close replica of an early CB750. The kit was from Whitehouse of Japan. The only problem at the time was the … [Read more...]
