Bad Chad build


Apparently Bad Chad starts and roughs out a lot of builds, but doesn't finish very many. That's OK because a person can't be expected to have all the skills necessary to design, fabricate and finish automotive projects. He did put together this odd vehicle and there is good documentation of how he did it. It started with a '49 Mercury and a '36 Ford. You can see how the project came together here.

Monumental task


In 1930 the Indiana Bell building in Indianapolis was rotated 90 degrees in 34 days.  The 600 employees did not feel the 15" movement each day.. The gas, heat, electricity, water. sewage and telephone services were not interrupted during the move.

No masking tape needed

Happy Anniversary to Vector's World

It was ten years ago today that I first posted to Vector's World.  I have averaged about one post a day in that time. I occasionally go back to view the things that interested me in the past. Going forward I am going to repost some of those old posts that have held up over time.

Thank you for stopping by.

Jaxon Smith revisited

On December 18, 2012 I posted this video of Jaxon Smith.  He was a self taught drummer and at the time he was six years old.

Jaxon is now 16 years old and I thought it would be interesting to go back and see if he had stuck with his drumming. I was pleased to see that he had. Rock on, Jaxon.

1932 Cyclomer


 I don't think it is difficult to see why this didn't work out. You can read more about it here.

Walt Davis



There isn't much information on Walt Davis.  He raced in the late 1930's and on into the 1940's. The image of him walking away from his burning car documented the second time he had to end his race because his ride had caught fire.

Some kind of sale?


 Once again perhaps a reminder to stay in school is in order.

Stay in school, kids

Learning to park would be nice, too. Those white lines are there for a reason. It would appear that they landed in three parking spaces.
