I used to be the authorized local repossessor for VW motor credit back in the day, and we used to pick 'em up all the time on a voluntary basis...
I'm not trying to be hardcore or bash anyone's shit, I was just being blunt. I guess my problem is that I see the line between well-built,...
I agree. It amazes me how guys down here get so upset about the possibility of "trailer queens" showing up at carshows, and then they fawn and...
And...I think that although many are built as keepers, many of the really well built cars are sold at car shows to someone with deep pockets who...
Exactly...otherwise, with a paint job like that...they're about to learn a very painful lesson on just how good insurance companies are at not...
Seriously, who cares? .
I'd join, but I'm too busy running the "all my cars are wrecked or blown up, I don't have the money to fix them, and I'm too burned out to give...
My Riviera was a daily driver for 2 years and I never had the slightest of issues. Ran like a top.
Here's a few shots of my buddy Dallas's old nomad. No idea where she is now. [img] [img] [img] [img]
Whatever Ray....you act like you're from Kentucky or something. You ever get your kid's car in the road???
Black with black steelies & caps. And ditch the 302 and throw a 50's caddy mill in there.
I'll may ride out there with Dallas or Nate if there aren't any waves that weekend.
Seriously, who cares if it's acceptable? It's YOUR CAR, throw a damned Toyota engine in it if you want, and if people don't like it, tell...
My great, great grandfather was a very prominent businessman in the small town where they lived (Greenfield, Iowa), and he drove a late 30's Reo...
Yeah, what he said. Trannies with a B.O.P. pattern bell are NOT a match. AND...the pre-64 nailheads used dynaflows, so you can't just bolt...
Great story.I've been a huge fan of the 63-65 Rivs (especially the 65) since the first time I saw one. In my opinion the best looking American...
Yes, really. Here's a story for you: A buddy of mine had a really nice 60 Nomad wagon that he'd just paid thousands of $$$ to have the body...
I agree. I'd never buy one of their new bikes. I think the economy has got to be pounding Harley right in the wallet. It's an expensive...
I'd never use a truck like that to tow a car around, even with new brakes and drivetrain. Why? In a word....weight. I've had plenty of...
Not trying to be a dick here, but it's kinda funny to me is that guys make this argument about the HAMB only being a forum for traditional hot...
No, that is not what he said. The dude was simply asking if there was a closer swap, so he didn't have to drive 3 hours each way. He never...
Hey dude, there have been plenty of discussions about S-10 frame conversions, Ferraris, Porsches, mid to late 60's drag racing, and a lot of other...
Ohhhh, so that means it's OK for him to act like a elitist prick? Screw that. An asshole is an asshole, regardless of how many cars he built.
Yeah, no shit.
No shit. My ex that I was with for 9 yrs is from Vineland. Damn, I miss that girl. :(
Just estimate what you think it will run.... and then add like 3 seconds. :D
Noooo, not the dreaded "varnish". Just 60's fuel standards vs new. No difference? Really? Wow. Not the answer I expected.
This is something I've always wondered about. Obviously an engine with 10 to 1 pistons (or higher) is going to run better with a higher octane...
Just keep in mind that you're dealing with heads that have tiny valves (1.875 intake / 1.5 exhaust), and don't have much (if any) room for to put...
