The Best of the Best: Builds That Any Gearhead Will Appreciate

A couple of posts ago, I made an entire rant about things that irritate me in the automotive world.  Although it was fun, and a relief to write, I realize that perhaps I came off as being a little callus.  Therefore, with the help of the s10forum.com guys, I have taken the time to compile some threads that they consider to be the best of the best, something that everyone will enjoy, even if you don’t particularly like the genre.  I feel like there is something that everyone can take away from any build in any genre if built correctly, deserving more praise than they already receive.  Their skills span the automotive world and perhaps everyone who reads this will learn a little something about one another.  I thought about giving a short description of each build next to each link, but honestly, I think that it should be a surprise, making you actually take a gander at some threads that may be a bit out of your comfort zone.  Without further ado, here you go:

(Hours Later I assume)  Did you have fun?  Learn anything new?  If you did, feel free to discuss them as to encourage others to do the same.  Also, if you have any other links that people just have to check out, please feel free to post them up as well. 

But beyond certain threads, there are just some really cool sites that are just filled with important and invaluable information, such as http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/, http://pirate4x4.com/forum/index.php, and http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/index.php. Besides some nice build threads, these sites have great technical information regarding shop builds, tools, and metal art.  Dfitty from s10forum.com also suggests http://killbillet.com/, a site dedicated to rat rods.

To see where I got most of these threads and builds, check out my thread http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f42/best-build-threads-on-internet-not-just-on-s10forum-403354/. 

Threads like these not only foster new ideas amongst different automotive communities, but they push the limits of our abilities and imaginations. 

Until next time, keep your heads held high and your rides low,
