Where exactly are the leaks? Are they around the fasteners that hold down the roofing? All fasteners should go through the standing ribs on the...
I didn't like it when I thought about it. I like it now that I've seen it photoshopped. Sometimes (often) custom is about doing things that...
When he builds a 1940 Olds he can put a SBC in it and prove you did it wrong. They're good engines, if it works right and you're happy with it...
I think that cantilievered mount puts a lot of torsional stress on a crossmember that isn't meant for it and you'd be better off building a new...
"I dunno what the restorers are like in the US but over here they are the cheapest bastards there are, all of em want an untouched Bugatti for...
The right size tubing would work fine, after all they hold up houses with lally columns.
Consider that the vast majority of all the oil pumped in Alaska gets shipped to the Far East...and if we could drill more up there it would end up...
Lots of good information on chevytalk. Make your best shot at the search function before you ask a power steering question. A good bunch of guys...
Jim, what's the email we can use for most effective response? No sense in sending email to a place where it won't matter.
The grill is probably one of the least attractive features on a '57. I'm no fan of the tail lights either, other than that it's one of my...
It's easy to call WalMart shoppers lemmings, but that oversimplifies the issue. Inflation-adjusted wages for middle and lower class wage earners...
Same thing happened to me once with a bad wire on an idle stop solenoid. When the wire would lose continuity the engine would die. I backed out...
We all like to think that it's greedy individuals that sue things out of existence, in reality greedy insurance companies drive way more of it...
Is this decorative stuff like a waterfall/stream? If so I'd be inclined to use a polybutyl liner, the same stuff they use for garden ponds. It's...
Barret Jackson is just a vehicle. I agree that speculators are driving the prices out of line. Just look at how prices on E Body Mopars are...
Dunno about the IFS showing. How about some pontoon fenders sort of like an early Ferrari Testarossa? Then again maybe that moves the problem to...
I wouldn't. Oxidation caused by the dissimilar materials will cause the fiberglass to disintegrate into shipping peanuts. :) Sorry, couldn't...
Looks like a lot of fun. The owner probably saved a bunch of gas by switching to a Pinto engine...then not driving it.
Amen. I stared at this screen a long time trying to figure out what to say. Something that balances the patriotism we should all feel with a...
When I had cars with points I always used Napa Echlin points. I had one car that always seemed to run a little high on voltage, not enough to...
Doesn't DeSoto from here build Cloth-wrapped harnesses? I doubt if he's cheap but I'll bet the results are worth the money.
Are you using flat or gloss Krylon?
Another option:...
Y'know that's the sort of thing that could ruin your whole day. :)
Both correct. The motor mounts on the BBC are the same distance from the back of the block as a SBC. That forces the radiator to move to the...
Back to the AWD Chevy Astros, they may be rare in CA but they are all over the place out here in the rust belt. The yards should be full of them...
Swap the individual parts. For some reason "chassis swap" sounds simple but in reality it's anything but. Even if the wheelbase and track width...
That is nice!
It's beautiful, but nothing says "look at me" like driving a forklift on the street! Reminds me of how I got all kinds of attention when I used...
I hear you can get them cheap, but are they very expensive to rebuild?
Separate names with a comma.
