Cruise In Again!
For those of you who came out for our Cruise In last September, you know it was a great event, with 300 of the coolest cars and trucks in this area. It was so successful that we’re doing it again in 2012–one in the spring and one in the fall! Our first Cruise In will…
Read MoreNew Shirts!
We’ve noticed over the years that people love Honest Charley T-shirts, so a few years ago, several new designs were introduced to add a little spice to the regular Honest logo shirt. The new shirts were quite popular, but many of them have certainly run their course on the market, so we’re ready to throw…
Read MoreHonest Charley Hisself
Every day we think about Charley Card and we try to emulate his way of doing business in each and every customer interaction. We always treat our customers like our best friends, the way ol’ Honest Charley Hisself would’ve treated them. We have huge footsteps to fill, but it’s our job (and our passion) to…
Read MoreHot Rods in Paradise
We have a thing for hot rods, and historic drag strips are a huge part of the hot rodding community. Drag strips played a big part in promoting the hobby back in the day, and the ones that are still around do a great job of keeping the vintage spirit alive. We thoroughly enjoy visiting…

Run ins with the police department usually spells trouble for us, but a group of law-abiding citizens as well as police officers, found a way to go fast and inform young adults about the dangers of street racing. The organization is called Beat the Heat, and each racecar is lettered up just like a standard…
Read More100% Honest Fabrication
As we were continuing to recover from the NSRA Nationals today, we had a gentleman by the name of Mickey Arp stop by the shop in his very cool roadster pickup. He says the truck is titled as a 1923 Model T Commercial Vehicle, but the creation is all his own. From the chassis and…
Read MoreThe Nationals!
If you’re the least bit interested in hot rods then you know August is a big month, because of the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky. We’ve heard it called The Nationals, The Nats, Louisville (pronounced loo-vull), but whatever you call it….it’s BIG. We go up there every year as it’s the best place…
Read More‘Round the World in a Deuce Coupe
Hot rodding is about bragging rights for the most part. The battle for the most horsepower has always been a top priority, but for Clay Miller bragging rights come in the form of a long distance trip. He will truly be one of the only hot rodders to have driven his ’32 Ford across the…
