Here is a 5 part video doc on some great fabrication that went into the Stewart Raceworks Ford Raptor luxury pre-runner.

That was a great way to spend an hour. What a bad rear end truck and an awesome company.

This is a Raptor cab resting on a tube frame everything is hand fabricated

1908 Edition of Kent's Mechanical Engineer's Pocket-book. Apparently Mechanical Engineers had huge pockets back then.

1943 Machinery's Handbook. Had a receipt for a tool loan from 1953 in it, sometimes it's cool to find these kind of things.

Those are awesome. I have a few old (1930's) engineering books and am trying to build up a collection so I can have one bookshelf full of cool old books.

Is that a s-bend in the cage tubing or am I seeing things. Is the hoop around the door one piece and the roof bar welded onto that? I don't know a lot about cages but that thing is scary.

To those familiar with the engine, forgive me while I share a few tidbits that make the M12 one of the coolest engines ever built. Based off of BMW's M10, a very successful and widely-used inline-4 with a displacement ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 liters, the M12 was essentially a racing version. Over it's near-30-year history, the engine became one of the most successful in racing history - and for good reason. In it's 2.0L configuration for Formula 2, the little engine pumped out more than 300 horsepower. The turbocharged 1.4L variant built for DRM (Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft), pumped out 350 horsepower with such reliability that BMW began thinking about entering Formula 1. That is where the M12 grows into one of the most spectacular engines ever.

The M12 won the Formula 1 World Championship in 1983, powering Nelson Piquet in the Brabham-BMW to the finish line. The engine continued to grow in power until 1986, when in turbocharged qualifying guise, the 1.5L pumped out an absolutely earth-turning 1,500 horsepower, the highest ever in Formula 1. To achieve this number, the M12 ran a staggering 80PSI of boost and revved to a screaming 11,500 RPM. However, the M12 was outlawed in 1988 when Formula 1 banned turbocharging, leaving the M12 to the history books.

Never seen one of these before. Top of the cab came up to about mid-chest on me. Looks like it'd be pretty fun.

They are fun and really handy little trucks for hauling motorcycles with the low bed height. The diesels are slow as hell but still awesome.

Here's my old track rat E30 and the VW truck (1.5L diesel 40hp). I miss both of those and if I see a reasonably priced VW pickup I'll be buying another.

I'm curious about the clamps on the Noble wing. The two things I remember most about the Noble M500 I drove and messed around with were "holy poo poo power" and the factory wheels weighing a loving ton.

In celebration of your wagon here is a E30 wagon that I wish I could buy.

I don't understand why automotive journalists are so down on it in general. The consensus seems to be "It's an awesome technological achievement but it's not as interesting as a Ferrari". I guess I'd have to drive both to understand, but I think it's amazing. The suspension in particular is incredible. It's hardly a bad looking car either, though I will admit I like the 458 better in that regard.

Same with the GTR but that seems to be getting less hate for all the electronics now. I missed a chance to play with a 12C on the track a few weeks ago and I'm really kicking myself for it.

Here's some cars without a bunch of technology keeping you alive.
