I've thought of doing an old log truck that way, but the ones I were looking at were older like from the 60's. But I want to keep the big frame &...
I've always ran loud exhaust on all my hot rods & muscle cars. As long as I'm not suckin' fumes & not too much drone-ing I'm OK. A quick way to...

Try Speedway, they have ton's of caps & fill tubes & all that in their catolouge, you could try their website, speedwaymotors.com . Later- John
A '72 Vette with 20K miles is probobly worth an assload of money, regardless of options. If it is rare it will just make the value go up. Did you...
I think alot of the "crap" is people slappin' something together to cash in on the "rat rod" thing. Build some whiz-bang 3 day slap together BS to...

I can see the point in saving $300. Maybe not to the point of building something that runs like crap & is un-drive-able, but I guess that's why he...
