Small-block swap
The small-block Chevy has to be the most commonly swapped engine of all time. It’s cheap, plentiful, reliable and capable of making big power with little effort.
The North Shore’s auto graveyard
If you’ve ever traveled Lake Superior’s North Shore to Bluefin Bay resort in Tofte, Minn., you’ve stayed across the street from arguably one of the best junkyards in the state for classic American iron.
Cars from across the pond
British iron might not be the focus of this site, but there’s a shop in Minneapolis that has such a treasure trove of teeny tiny vintage vehicles, parts and paraphernalia from across the pond that it just can’t be ignored.
A labor of love
When Doug Boettcher first met Doreen in October of 1989, he wasn’t shy about his hobby.
“He said, ‘Do you like street rodding?’ And I said, ‘Is that a band?’ I had no idea,” Doreen recalled.
Built to run
If anyone has given up on the idea of building a gas-guzzling, tire-shredding muscle car in this age of four-buck-a-gallon gas, it isn’t Chuck Chenvert.
Not the full Monte
Yes, it’s a 1970 Monte Carlo convertible. No, Chevrolet never made one – Pete Emeott did, in his St. Paul garage.
