Eastern Hot Rodder

A comic look at the Winter Storm Izzy 2022

Here is a short video of the Still Crazy '64 Vette right after it got the blown big block. Shortly after this it was sent to paint and body for a redo.

Fresh off of Covid clearance, I took my dad over to my friend John's place to check out his '40 Willys Gasser that he just brought down from Ohio to North Carolina. It felt real good to take my '41 Willys gasser out to see my friend's '40.

We road tripped the Lil' Red Shop Truck from NC to NY for the 20th Syracuse Nats. This video shows some of what we saw and did.

My buddy Keith has a wild mind and it translates into custom model cars, his real insane '23 Ford theme rod and his wild yard art. We hang out with him and get some details on his fine details he gives his cars, models and art creations.

We get rid of the gross looking, once clear triangular deck protectors on the '07 Pontiac Solstice GXP.

We picked up an '07 Pontiac Solstice GXP and the first thing we had to do is get rid of the ugly front plate mount.

We here at EHR got so sick of sore fingers we broke down and bought a Kool Tools AN fitting assembly tool. It works as stated and we only wish we bought it years ago.

Sometimes you just have to laugh. We show you a funny way to deal with C-19.

A video showcasing Gary's '41 Caddy Convertible.

We take a look at CarTech's "How To Build Affordable Hot Rods" by Tony Thacker.

The headlights in the Pontiac Solstice GXP were yellow and hazy. I brought them back to life with a headlight polishing kit. It worked great!

I got talking with Jimmy at a cruise in and he invited us down to see the forgotten Shotgun Customs Fox body Mustang convertible made for country music icon Alan Jackson. This is a one of one Shotgun Convertible that was on the "Don't Rock the Jukebox" album back cover. Later it was given away in a contest. Jimmy ended up with the car 22 years ago and it has only accumulated a bit over 15,000 miles. We check out this supercharged, unrestored piece of automotive and music history.

While this isn't about cars, I love dogs and I know many of you out there do too. Here is a way to help a gun shy dog get over her fears. Holley is our odd mutt that we rescued. She was abused and is very scared of clicking noises and metallic sounds. She has come a long way already, but she would hide at the click of a pen.

We headed over to Cleveland, TN for their month Main Street Cruise In. They have it very 4th Saturday of the month through the summer. Usually a very good turn out and this was no exception.

A hot rodder's way of dealing with these stupid high gas prices.

The Blairsville Cruisers host another great show to honor our Veterans. The Nov. 6th show had about 200 cars. We cruised over in Liberty's Vette to check out the scene.

We crossed over the mountain to Franklin, NC for the Pharoahs Summer Block Party show and we had a blast. Over 100 hot rods, customs and classics filled the lot. Lots of big block powered stuff, too.

He headed over to the Memory Lane Classic Car Museum in Young Harris Georgia to see what new stuff they had on display. Lots of cool hot rods, customs and classics in this private museum collection.

We walked around the 2021 Georgia Mountain Car Show held at the N. GA Mountain Fairgrounds in May. There were tons of cool cars and hot trucks.

We show you a problem we had with aftermarket braided brake lines and how we fixed it and why cheap can be dangerous.

The Stranger Things Suburban gets an altitude adjustment, 20s and a revised grill.

Man, oh, man! The rock solid body and arrow straight original panels are a dream come true. The LS Swap is perfectly executed and well detailed. A fresh interior, proper stance and a well fitted set of wheels tell on lookers this is as done as it needs to be. The car bridges the gap between rat rod and hot rod.

Alex from www.VikingBags.com sent one of their large Trident Sissy Bar Backpacks for me to review. It is awesome! There are so many compartments to keep your stuff separated out, but it all fits together without being too bulky. It is designed to strap to the sissy bar of a bike, but this pack would be great for a hot rod weekender. Tough, water repellant construction, strong zippers, and heavy duty velcro just about guarantee your stuff stays safe and sound while rolling down the bumpiest roads. Remember to subscribe and comment below to get entered into the give away drawing of this great piece.

We show you the cars that showed up to the )October 2021 Farmers Market Cruise in hosted by the Blairsville Cruisers in Georgia.
