Street Rodder Road Tour–Door Jam
Yeah we meant to say “jam” instead of the correct spelling of “jamb”. We’ve been jamming on these doors pretty intensely, so it was an appropriate play on words. It’s amazing how much time you can invest in a pair of doors, when you consider the hinge rebuild, latch installation, power window installation, and rust…
Read MoreStreet Rodder Road Tour–Chassis
We’ve been covering the Street Rodder Road Tour build for a few weeks now, but we’ve left out a very important part of the build–the chassis! Without the brand new chassis from Fatman Fabrications, our job would’ve been much more difficult. Check out what makes it cool!

As you know, we’re running wide open and rarely have enough time to sit down and blog about the happenings around here. One of the things that gets us fired up is the Chattanooga Cruise In, which is a massive gathering of hot rods, right here at Honest Charley! We try to tell all of…
Read MoreAround the World in a Deuce
If you follow along with Honest Charley, then you have probably heard of Clay Miller and his world-traveling ’32 Ford coupe. We built it here at the shop using all Honest Charley parts, including a hot Flathead, Brookville steel body and a Pete & Jakes chassis. Clay had intentions of doing long-distance rallying with his…
Read MoreWinter is NEAR
And we’re already shivering! Let’s get one thing straight…hot rods are great in optimal weather conditions, but it gets cold real quick here in the Tennessee Valley. We have fought with stock heaters and tried to come up with our own creations, but this little universal unit is certainly our favorite option. It fits in…
Read MoreChattanooga Cruise In September 2012
Last September, we tried our hand at hosting our own Cruise In right here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. We considered it a great success, and decided to do it again in 2012.

After a full frame-off restoration, Harold Coker’s 1913 American Underslung is ready to hit the road. As the guys get the car ready for the first few shakedown runs, Harold and Greg Cunningham offer some impressions of the car and the restoration for the camera. The American Underslung may very well be the first “lowered”…
Read MoreThe Nationals!
That’s what we call it around here, but the long version is the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky. We go up there every year to join more than 10,000 of our closest street rodding friends, and this year was no different. We had a great event with lots of great business, but we…
