While on Reddit I ended up getting sucked into r/RatRod . There I discovered super_88s current project the Mack Rod. The Mack Rod is his way of using up left over parts from other projects. Almost like a dish made up from left overs and presented as something new. The cab comes from a Mack garbage truck and the…
The Beauty In The Struggle Of Building Cars
Despite often being depicted as such building a car isn’t easy. This is a reality that I have become intimately familiar with as I fumble through of my own build, Project Why Wait. No matter how you slice it building a car is a form of skilled labor, and there’s a learning curve to every…
