Has anyone ever heard of one of these tires blowing out, due to being shaved, in the 50+ years they've been doing it? Don't include any cases of...
I hate it when some liberal comes in and tries to save me from myself. Maybe you should get yourself a helmet and a five point harness for your...
Most of the dealers out there use the NADA as it rates vehicles at a lower value than Kelly Blue Book. That works OK for the newer vehicles but...
These guys have a pretty good selection of those engine parts as well as a lot of other parts for Comets....
I was thinking of this post when I saw it last night too. I missed it on TV on the first go round.
You are definitely right. The really old bias ply spare, that was in the trunk of my 62 when I bought it, had about a 3/4" ground narrow white...
Got em off ebay about a year and a half ago. Can't remember the company, but it was out of California. I did a search for 13" whitewall and they...
You're an engineer big deal. So am I. I'm a Nuclear Engineer and a Board Certified Stationary Engineer in Maryland. But what does that have to do...
Most of the 2wd s-10s had 15x7 if I remember correctly, with a backspace about 3.75-4" depending on the year. Some of the spares are a 15x6....
This needs to be closed so we don't ever have to look at it again. You guys that want to can always do a search and read it to yourself.
Here's a good guide on lug patterns. http://www.teufert.net/wheels/bolt-pat.htm If it is a 5x4.75 it's the same as the Chevy S-10. Should be...
As long as everyone keeps it tasteful it shouldn't get locked IMO.
Mine were ground with a machine and are perfectly even, smooth and uniform. Lets see..........$600 +shipping for a set of 1" or 1 7/8" Cokers or...
"two-step jack boogie"......I'll have to remember that. Yeah my 60 is a PIA to remove the rear tires, even with the skirts removed, and it only...
Like Paul Harvey used to say........"Now you know the rest of the story" 7 cars and oldest is an 84.
It's not a trend and its not going away. The 2" lowering kit in the rear of my 60 Comet is a NOS item made in the 60's. Luckily I found the kit or...
That's what I was thinking, about half of the width.
That's what I was thinking. I have the room and the money. I would take a dozen of those cars off his hand tomorrow if it was a little closer....
Me too. She is definitely hot. Of course I'm partial to redheads and married one too. Always await each show season and especially the high...
Great idea. Never thought of running the ipod straight to the amps. I have 2 amps and a crossover and could have done the same thing without the...
In the 60 the stock radio works as well and in addition I used aluminum and fabbed a mount for a head unit inside the glovebox. Shut the door and...
In the 62, I replaced the old stock speaker in the dash and the AM radio still works, as long as I give it enough time to heat up. In addition I...
That's exactly the problem with most parts stores today. Junkyards in our area have become the same way. Went through the same problem getting a...
Good thing you got it out before the shed fell down. Shows a lot of patience letting that body sit for that long.
What the other guys said, but the painted center chrome steelies would look really good too.
I yer gonna go that route Krylon Fusion white or the white Sno Seal is better. Do a search on Krylon Fusion. Lots of long posts about it.
I bought these already ground for my 62. 4 tires for the price of one Coker whitewall. Nothing wrong with the Cokers, as I have a set on my 60....
Open this link, then go down the left side a few inches. Under the pic of the Mexican and US flag is a small red video camera symbol. Click on...
This country has been going downhill ever since we "surrendered" to the touchy-feely liberal idiots and removed the pledge from our schools....
