Something about the sound of an engine cranking, popping, chugging, and finally roaring to life give me a chill. Old engines of a bygone era often required significant skill and talent, combined with a touch of luck, to bring them to life.

Creative fabrication project videos #1
Welcome to creative fabrication projects post #1. Theres lots of great project videos out there and I'd like to share some of the more interesting creations I've found.
I've got a soft spot for tracked vehicles and I'll probably dedicate a post solely to them at some point, but for now here's one of my favorites:
Project crankenstein is a standard off-road go kart that many of us remember from our childhood, except its been fitted with 40 horsepower TT600 engine. Fast, loud, and a little scary. My kind of project!
Burning Man attendees produce some awesome creations, and this giant walking spider-car is no exception:
This fella swapped a turbocharged Renault drivetrain into...a camper?
And finally, a ridiculous bicycle made with car tires:

Post #1
The first post of a new blog is always the slowest, but hopefully before long things will be up and moving here!
I'll go ahead and state my goal up front: I aim to share my interests and passions with other folks around the world. Topics you should expect to see include home repair, automotive, travel, and what I'm reading, listening to, and watching. Expect updates every few days, although sometimes I may go a while between posts.
Hang around, I'm just getting started!
