Seems like there's something in one of the Ed Roth DIY books (remember those?) about wiping the cars down with gas as a wax / grease remover, but...
IF the car was strictly a show rig or fairground pounder, or even a shock rod that gets trailered pretty much everywhere, yeah maybe. A rig that...
My welding instructor claims that how you grind the tungsten doesn't make any difference, but the last week or so I've tried grinding it...
Something about that was in either Petty's or Smokey Yunick's book. They were either trying to disguise the slightly chopped roof, or the...
Rode to the Gator nats with a friend and his dad in.....I dunno, 1972? We were in third or fourth grade. Big deal to go on a trip that far from...
Talked to a friend from ATL last night - he reminded me there used to be a slot car track on Austell Rd, getting close to Marietta GA (not too far...

Judging from previous threads on here about Bad Ass rod bodies I would advise you pick it up yourself, settle any and all disputes / issues before...
That's pretty awesome. This local guy has an old Jeep flat fender pickup. I always thought one of those would make a cool gasser, 'specially...
Damn, son. Hate to see your bro throw all that work away. Could it be saved with a new cowl and a donor roof? Or would it be easier in the...
Yikes.
This guy that must have been about two or three hundred years old once called the cops on me and my crew because our lowered VW bugs, he thought...
Seems like I've seen pics of the McMullen '32 with a 6-71, and they were dated 1962 or '63.
Back in high school I bought a brand-new fiberglass L88 hood for my V8 Vega. About a week (or less :confused:) it took off during an...
Printed mine out on single pages (like Chester said not to), punched all 254 pages, and put them in a 3-ring binder. Works slick. A T-bucket...
Saw some program on the satellite guide called The Cheetah Girls . Tuned in thinking it would be a reality show about the girls at the Cheetah III...
Miller's Custom Powder Coating, Lilburn GA. (770) 931-1505 Columbia Coatings in, IIRC Columbia TN. 1-800-974-5022. Never sent them any work...

So how do those floor-heat systems work? Just a closed system with a water heater and a pump? Do you have to leave it on all the time (in winter...
My trash probably don't need to be in this thread, but here's what I can do after a couple semesters of TIG class: [IMG] [IMG] I'd like to...
Seems like there was a thread about this last summer. Sheetmetal guy I knew unchopped (or re-chopped, depending on your point of view) a car...

I got that one in my collection. IIRC it was a feature on Jeff Scozzarro, he had a paint shop called "Jeff's Place" or something close to that....
We have a local title agent. She can get a legal title to damn near anything for $125 - $175, takes about thirty days. It isn't a free...
There's probably a bucket in my future too. Not everybody can break off 50 - 60K to build their first rod.
Seems like I read someplace he had been thinking about hanging it up anyway, then a couple of his sponsors pulled the plug. Can't say I blame...
