The Revolution is back in 2009. Ryan and I are really excited about this year’s show. We are working to line up some really neat cars. There will be a lot of vintage race cars and the focus will be on Bonneville racers - new and old. The traditional hot rodder really needs to put the Revolution on the calendar. This is a show you don’t want to miss.

Cowl lacing is always a hot topic among hot rodders and restoration gurus. It seems that everyone has their own cowl lacing tricks to prevent the ends from fraying. Here’s how I do it.

It’s been a long year and I’ve been so busy building cars that the blog has suffered. Sorry about that. I’m going to bring you all up to date in the next few posts and also include some additional how-to’s. Over the past year I completed a beautiful 1933 coupe, finished up a ‘30 roadster for Bonneville and welcomed the arrival of my daughter Vita Marie. It’s been crazy, but so exciting.
I appreciate everyone being so patient and welcome any questions.

Do you remember your first? Your first puppy, first kiss, first hot rod? I remember the Tardel family first ‘new car’. Now, as a rule, all of the Tardel family cars were used and old. The family car was - believe it or not - a 1956 Chevy 4 Door Station Wagon. No seat belts and no air conditioning, but hey, the radio worked. This car was my mom’s get around town mobile. She carted us to soccer games, BMX races and drive-in movies.
Hot rodding is in my blood. You can call me one of those lucky devils that actually does what he loves for a living. It all started when I was old enough to walk out to my dad's garage.
