It's all about growing up, not growing old. I loved loud anything when I was 16. Shit I took the mufflers off my Honda 160 and drove my Dad nuts....
Man, do you have shitty luck! A friend of mine had a jinxed 69 Chevelle. It had a carport fall across the front clip, that got replaced, got rear...
Thank you, you have created a ton of work for yourself for our benefit. I'm one of the "old farts" and I appreciate this. Thank you again.
Looks like a solid start. What are your plans for the drivetrain? I see you list your location as Lapeer, is that Lapeer Mi.?
I found one of mine by looking at a lot of different ones. Some were nice but I didn't get excited when I saw them. Then I pulled in the driveway...
Not sure I like the three forums now. I wonder, like one of the above posts, why the original forum wasn't strictly enforced if it was a problem....
Those pics look like you're on I-77. Wait till you get to the Ohio turnpike.....boring!
We weld our frames together don't we?
Had one made for my '41 Ford truck. My brother did the welding, we heated it first then he arced it. He was a fabricator at a steel shop that made...
Not my disaster, i'had my own, but nothing some sand paper and more paint couldn't fix, but my brother in law had a weird one. He painted a...
I once had a battery that caused the same thing. A good auto electric guy said my battery was shorting internally when it got hot and warped the...
My Dad, born 1913, was part of that generation. He was not a car guy in the sense we are, he liked cars, but any attempt to modify a car for more...
I would be interested in one at the right price, and if it would help, I'm right across the river from your hometown, in Port Huron. If you are...
That wasn't in Swartz Creek was it? I looked at a similar one there about 20 years ago. Btw, looks like a solid find, congrats!
Another vote for Newport, put one in my '46 and it works great. They even fixed it for free when I screwed it up!
They actually look like some sort of house lighting fixture to me.
We have a local "Cruise Weekend" here. Everyone ends up at the local Big Boy, some guys put their cars in the Big Boy parking lot before they go...
I think they look o. K. , but I think you could do better for a mid sixties look. How about chrome reverse?
They fit nice, put one in a friends truck a few years ago. Had to change spring pads and fab shock mounts. The driveshaft he had worked with a U...
I can't believe it's not self propelled.....
I have a friend that used to not be able to save money, if he had a nickel he had to spend it. He finally got to the point that he needed to save...
If I'm looking at that correctly I would just screw a street el into the rad and then screw a flare to NPT adapter into the other end of the...
I hung an Optima upside down under the very short bed on my '41 Ford truck. It's in a cage that swings down by taking out two bolts.
Just a shot in the dark, but who knows. I was driving my '46 Chevy with a SBC in it on a very choppy expressway and it began to tick, loudly. I...
Should be able to tell if it's a pickup or a big truck by looking at it.......post a pic and have a bunch of guys make funny remarks about it. :D
Just had a great reaction this past weekend. It was the local "Car Cruise Weekend". A friend came from Canada and wanted to be in the "parade", as...
Where I hunt in the upper peninsula of Michigan there is an old farm across from our camp at the very end of a long dirt road. There was at least...
Do you have or know anyone who has a metal detector? That would tell you all you need to know.
Wasn't there an episode of Adam12 where the cops were trying to stop street racing and McCord got his old drag car out to race the street racers...
In Michigan that cab would be called "mint". That rust is really quite minor.
Separate names with a comma.
