The Car Show is a bit of odd TV isn’t it?  It came out of nowhere, in an obvious attempt at being a serious competitor to the British Mega Hit Top Gear.  As of the writing of this rant, ratings aren’t stellar, they just shortened the show from an hour to 30 minutes, and former NBA star John Salley just got a permanent technical foul.  Yikes.


The motorsportreport.com offices are just a few hours away from Columbus Ohio, so making the trek down to Good Guys 2011 was a no brainer.  With about 7000 cars spread over the Ohio State Fairgrounds, it was a car junkie's paradise.  I'll dispense with the useless opening drivel and start showing you some pictures.



The owner of this wild rod wasn't around when we walked by.  It's kinda like looking at a green wiener dog, it just makes you smile, doesn't it?

Cleveland Ohio in the dead of winter is not exactly motorcycle heaven.  At the time of the International Motorcycle Show this year, the weather was about 20 degrees, windy, snowy, and dark.  See what I mean?  The International Motorcycle Show coming to Cleveland at the end of January gives us biker trash guys a taste of what the summer will bring, or at least it should.

I've recently taken delivery of a life long dream project.  An Oze Rod Shop '37 Ford Roadster kit car has been delivered to me for assembly (you will find their web site link in our Web Links menu).  I've watched these kits for a few years now, and finally my dream has become a reality...sort of.  Actually, you will be watching my dream become a reality.

Some of you will be able to "throw in your 2 cents worth" into the build as I go along as well.  All of you backyard mechanics can cheer me on or throw electronic tomatoes at me by sending an email to the "contact us" section of this website.  For those of you who are building an Oze kit and using this article as a guide, read back through every once and awhile as I will update previously written areas to improve the content and the clarity....and fix mistakes.
