Always liked these from when I first saw Toad's.
Neat idea, always good to repurpose item, but it looks too kitschy/hipster for me. If you like it, that's all that matters.
Does anyone have photos of the trophies? I am trying to restore the one my dad won in 1962 and I need photos to figure out what is missing....
Event details are here and on the HAMB events page for 10/14/12. If you are going, are you attending as a spectator or participant? I'm hoping...

Mid-Fifty has some bullets for windshield wipers. Maybe those will work?

Me too, brother. I live in a condo and although the truck is in our garage, we're not allowed to work on them in there. What makes it worse is...

Hi, I have my dad's old car club plaque from the late 50s or early 60s. Unfortunately, it sat in a box that some fertilizer was spilled and it...
For non-trad wheels, those 20s don't look half bad. Not my style, though. I'd raise the front a tad, drop the back a tad and center the wheels...
I'd agree that's the best way, but it's getting harder to find the old guys willing and/or able to do so. I wish I had learned more from my dad.
Nice score; cool boss.
R&C, Thank you so much for this information. I have only one picture but it confirms the entry number. In the color photo I've seen the car...
Congrats! That must have been one heeluva rush/high.

Hi, Does anyone have info such as programs, participant lists or photos from the 1962 Oakland Roadster Show? Thanks, BDL
I'm glad to see that Don is more willing to educate than denigrate. Yeah, sounds like some sort of hippie love shit, but think about it, why be a...
Lots of info out there on the GM Cold Start Knock fiasco for their vortec engines. I bought a 1999 silberado new and had this problem. told all...
I was in my early teens; Fremont with my dad for a swap meet. I think it was still operational, but close to being shut down.
Milner's 32 Ford, Bob Falfa's 55 Chevy, "Toad's" 58 Chevy and the Batmobile.
How could you not want to talk to the old timers and hear their perspective? Maybe since I was a history major and library guy, I realize the...
I'm really sorry to hear about your partner's passing. News like this really hits home for me as a stage 4 cancer patient who has been given 6...
Well, wouldn't know. This truck of mine has been in the "project" stage since around 1964!
The disc brake conversion will be from Mid-Fifties (which I think is a CPP). I'll call them tomorrow to get the sizes and makes of the components....
Hopefully, It'll look a little different and be roadworthy by the end of July. [IMG]
