Those are gorgeous
I'm sure there are plenty of folks who do very good work from their home shops. But I'd venture to say there are also a whole lot who offer...
Also, through this whole thread, I don't see where the engine the car has was identified? I think the analysis would change if we're talking...
You raise a good point. Technically, because the TH350 is not a lockup transmission, RPM will be slightly higher than the manual with the same...
The 700R4 is great for cruising but if you're not familiar with how to set up the TV cable, I would recommend you leave that to a shop that is...
This is my next project, a 57 Nomad. [ATTACH] I wouldn't say the project is stalled as much as it's waiting. I picked this up last August,...
My 61 Olds project was the first time in my 20+ years of screwing with cars that I've paid shops to do work for me. Frankly it's the first time...
@Stogy Great pics man! As usual, a great collection of cars and people at this show. I truly feel that this is one of those shows where the...
Very nice restoration, excellent work
The green tinted glass looks awesome. Great job with this one bud. Exciting stuff on the horizon
I get the OP's point but I also understand the flip side of it as well. We all know at least a few car guys with massive hoards of parts,...
Agreed on all points. I too have seen many examples of the lake pipes being mounted next to the rocker rather than under it. Bo Huff and Larry...
That's not inaccurate, though I have found that when it comes to beat up old cars, they don't seem to have the same reservations about taking it...
I won't buy a car without a title unless I'm totally comfortable losing all my money. I bought a hammered 57 Ford Fairlane 500 4 door for the...
Damn that's cool as hell
From an aesthetic perspective, you have to consider what's going on with the customization process. The first thing you do to a car to customize...
I see no reason to hide it. None of the cars I pictured in post 24 hid their full length exhaust. In fact, the 56 Chevy pictured at top not only...
And I'll include myself in that group. I've had multiple Pertronix units and never performed this test. That said, in lieu of this fail-safe...
I guarantee most of the people who have difficulty with the pertronix made one of 3 mistakes; 1 - They powered it with power downstream of the...
Hell yeah
I think it speaks volumes of the extraordinary life he led for his passing to be recognized.
I have a standard Ignitor in a stock Delco distributor on my 324 that's in my 56 Olds Holiday 98. I drive the bejeezus out of that car, and that...
I wouldn't classify kickstands/cheater pipes as "lake pipes" in the typical sense. These are also more of a hot rod thing than a custom thing.
This is a crock of shit. Look at virtually every Barris built car, Larry Watson car, Alexander Bros. car from the era that had lake pipes....
The look is definitely right with them. I've often described lake pipes as traditional ground effects, since they give the impression of the car...
"Yes" as to the lake pipes, but only if you get the proper length.
Neat car, but I was a little disappointed when I didn't see this GTS. [ATTACH]
As someone of Italian descent, I understand your analogy completely.
I have an anecdote about this as well. My high school car was a 57 Bel Air 4 door sedan. 283 2bbl with a Turboglide, and about the most...
Without going through the info above, my experience with the 700R4 and a tall rear end ratio (3.08) is to leave the converter unlocked. I put the...
