Someone might indeed think just that. A guy at a show came by and wanted to buy the stainless windshield trim on my 51 Ford F-1. Told him no...
If you're lucky maybe the IRS will decide you don't exist too!
Tweety Pie is my all time favorite T-bucket. I love the stubby proportions. If I built one I'd "clone" it except for the purple paint. I can't...
Correct, I found a 38 Ford Coupe in a junkyard in Glassgow Kentucky and had to study it a while to figure out why it looked so odd. Finally...
If you've seen any pictures of the Packard plant you wouldn't question if its time to tear it down. Its been closed since the mid fifties and has...
Raven,the fact is, many tracks DON'T HAVE ROOM to make the shutdown area longer. O'Reily Raceway Park (Indianapolis Raceway Park to us stubborn...
My big problem with show cars is there are no points awarded for good taste. In the early 70's there was a 70 Chevelle LS-5 convertable show car...
Great lookin' project! Love the tall factor, it has that wacky look.
Your brother did a great job on that bird. I've often wondered why we don't see more of these cars done.
That does seem like an awful lot of intake for a 260. My buddy in high school put a 500cfm Holley 2 barrel on his 260 and drowned it. Nursed it...
Am I the only one who thinks this is just a blurb to generate some free publicity for the Chevy division of Government Motors?
In most of the clubs in our area, a closed hood is a guaranteed way to NOT get a trophy. At least in our club, points are awarded for (1) paint...
Just saw video of storm damage in north central Indiana. A building containing antique cars was totaly destroyed. I could make out a 33-34 Ford...
The 223 has some potential. What I like, it's a near perfectly square engine with 3.62 bore and a 3.60 stoke. Compaired to other engines that's a...
Tried to join a club called the Arrogant Assholes, but they turned me down. I was certainly a big enough asshole to join but, I wasn't arrogant...
With a 60 horse Flathead V8 and Crosley stuff its definatly a midget. A great find.
No, once again sometimes the factory gets it right. This is one of them. The red one above looks like the garage fell on it.
No thats not just you. I don't like putting on a nice multi carb setup and blocking the view with the center outlet radiator hose.
Don't get me wrong I love Flatheads but the Flathead / Chevy comparison is apples and oranges. 250 horsepower formula: Flathead - bore, stroke,...
I'll be there, at least part time, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I missed it last year, I was sick, but I've got the slide projector tuned up for...
I've never seen a chopped 40 Ford that I liked. The factory got that one right!
I don't know if that intake is gonna work out. With the carb that high the air density could be lower. LOL
I like Pat's writings and have several of his books in my hotrod library. He's one of my favorite magazine types. But I'd say if you popped your...
I like it 'cept for the overly done bed. I would have liked the louvers better had they been painted and highlighted with a simple pinstripe. But...
Did Jimmy White ever put front brakes on that Hemi A? That thing runs so hard [I love it!] but I couldn't sleep at night knowing there were no...
Pinstriping is like paint jobs, lots of people don't know when to quit. Pinstriping like paint should accent the car not overwelm it. Less is...
I don't have any history for you but those things were all over Indy in the late sixties. Go figure! They refered to them as Indy 10 spokes...
Whats wroung with a leather back coupe? They are not commonly seen as hotrods and it would be somewhat unique. Not the same old coupe or roadster....
After buying and collecting many rod titles for 45 years, I've had it. Regardless of how good or bad the content is, I'm sick of high magazine...
I have an original Slingshot I got 35 years ago. Just last year I found out its a very early "no-name" version made before the block letter...
