/
While catching up at Car Domain, I read this great article by David Belau about how he wanted to repaint his Dodge Dakota Pickup. How did it come out? Read more after the jump.

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: A Porsche 356 with an Audi V-8 Transplant?
/
To start off another month of Hooniverse Weekend Postings, I thought I would share this little tasty project that was posted over at MotorMavens.com. The author of the piece, Tamer Omran, found the project over at Kustom Coach Works. Read more after the jump.

Junkyard Jumble
/
Published by the Consumer Guide in 1985, this Junkyard Jumble shows a stack of classic iron – it is your job to figure out which cars we are looking at. I have the answers and I will reveal them later today. The scan is not the easiest to work from but I would be shocked…

Rt. 11 U-Pull, Northeastern PA's Newest Junkyard
/
Driving along Route 11 through Northeastern PA, you don’t expect to see what I’ve drooled over seen every weekend for the past nine years. Tier after tier of mostly German cars nestled between the trees, stacked on top of each other, all grouped together (mostly by type) as far up the side of the mountain…

A Landcruiser by Any Other Name
/
Any time the words “4×4” and “For Parts” crop up on Craigslist, I’m all but bound by duty to investigate. When the post happens to feature an ’84 Landcruiser swaddled in what could only be described as the quintessential FJ color, you can bet your betting eyes I’m going to share the glory with you.…

Last Call – Brazilian Wax Edition
/
Missing a little pizazz in your kustom kar? Why not add some style with some ape pit carpets? Unique! Imported! A real performance mod! It’ll go great with your shrunken head shift knob with real animal skin! Maybe even from an orangutan! (But not really, as they are endangered.)

Last Call- First Amendment Edition
/
While it’s true that Peeing Calvin window stickers have become an increasingly popular form of expression, it’s obvious that this Blazer owner’s goal was to create the War and Peace of the medium. Of course what’s really strange is his expectation that viewers wouldn’t understand what ‘Truck Nuts’ are, and so has to spell it…

Showdown: Apples to Oranges Edition
/
Our last Showdown’s sitting within the margin of error with the 8-lug Pontiac leading the sliding roof Studebaker 41-40. We’re in a bit of a half-ass Friday mood today, so the only threads linking today’s contestants are that they’re both GM products with a unique flair, and they’re the same price. So with that, it’s…

The Aston Martin Conundrum
/
Pricing information was just released for the finally-coming-to-America Aston Martin V12 Vantage. The “standard” version is priced at $179,995 and the Carbon Black special edition will set you (well… not “you”) back $194,995. This raises a question – why buy the DBS? The Bondmobile is priced almost $100,000 higher yet the two cars have nearly…

Was That Really Necessary?
/
It’s Friday, so you’re probably in a good mood. We’re here to ruin that with this ’82 Bronco chassis-ed ’98 Eclipse. It’s managed to combine a body kit with 33 inch tires. A bumping single 15″ sub with a Hazzard County grade push bar. The Eclipse strikes a somewhat “urban” note, but it’s photographed in…

Offset Impacts are Mesmerizing
/
This video has been around for a while, but I still find it kind of hypnotic, what with crash after crash happening to the dulcet tones of Love’s Alone Again Or. It also makes me want to wear clown makeup whenever I go somewhere, on the off chance I get into an accident, so I can…

Friday Fantastico: 2008 Lola T70 Mk. 3B
/
“Hi, I’m the Lola T70. You may remember me from such films as ‘Le Mans’ and ‘THX 1138.’” Sweet mother of mercy! If the sight of that wide-eyed sports racer don’t set your heart aflutter, sir, you have no heart. But look a little closer and you’ll notice it’s nearly a brand-new construction, and it’s…

Hooniverse Asks- What Was The Best Looking Mercury?
/
No that Ford has announced that the Mercury brand will go gently into that good night, it’s time to reflect on their 72-year history. As we discussed last week, when the company’s demise had yet to be set in stone, many of Mercury’s product has, over the years, been not much more than re-badged Fords.…
