When you heat something with a hole, the hole gets bigger. That's why the heating of the casting is more effective, it not only breaks the rust...
Just use the speakers you have from that 97 GP. Unless you have a bunch of sound deadening material and improved weatherstripping, the 53 will...
Thanks for all the pics, especially the outside vehicles.
There's a reason "street" is in parentheses. They are not street cars, but are race cars that can drive on the street. The real fast cars are all...
I agree, the slower car guys have more fun. No late night big engine repairs, no radical changes needed from race to street. But it's just amazing...

I just squirt some gas down carb from a squeeze bottle, it's enough to get the engine to kick over and run a bit. Many times enough for the fuel...
I went couple years ago on a weekday. It was fun to look at the cars, watch the auction process, and see a part of the car scene that I had not...
