When I got my 55' stude home, I looked at it and wondered what in the hell did I just buy? It was one fugly son of a gun. It's funny how the...

Lincoln is my vote, had my sp-100 for probably 25 yrs. I also have a 220 volt machine, but it just collects dust.
Don't know, does this even qualify as a grill? One of the stranger front ends I've ever seen on a car. If I took it off I'd probably pick up a...

Felt that way about this one, so I set about changing it. Altered wheelbase, big block Buick, turbo 400. Will be 21 yrs I've had it coming up in...
Get those Chevy headers, then j bends in your tube diameter. Cut tubes and move them where they need to go. This is the left side header from my...

A welder, some 1 1/2" muffler tubing, and some flat sheet metal. You can duplicate most anything.[ATTACH]
