Parts I use while building and modifying custom cars.

This list focuses on tools that actually earn their keep, both at home and on the job. Every tool recommended here was chosen for durability, comfort, and real-world usefulness—not gimmicks. These are the kinds of tools you reach for daily: solid wrenches, dependable screwdrivers, pliers that grip right, and tools that hold up to repeated use without failing. Whether you’re fixing things around the house or working a trade, this list is about buying tools once and using them for years.

This list highlights the places I enjoy eating at in the Fargo–Moorhead area, from well-known local staples to underrated hidden gems. These restaurants are recommended based on consistent food quality, local reputation, unique menus, and spots locals actually go back to. Whether you’re looking for a solid breakfast, a great burger, comfort food, date-night dining, or something different from the usual chains, this list helps cut through the noise and points you to places worth your time and money.

This list is built for real gearheads—builders, dreamers, and hands-on hot rodders who want more than just glossy photos. These automotive hot rodding books were selected because they teach, inspire, and preserve traditional hot rod culture. You’ll find titles that cover classic engine swaps, chassis setup, welding and fabrication basics, old-school customs, and the history behind the cars that shaped hot rodding as we know it. Whether you’re deep into a garage build, planning your next project, or just want to learn how things were done the right way, these books deliver proven knowledge and timeless inspiration you won’t get from quick online searches. If you’re serious about hot rods—Model A’s, ’32 Fords, customs, shop wisdom, and the culture that built them—this collection belongs on your workbench, not just your coffee table.
