FINALLY- After waiting for what seems like forever, tomorrow I'm tearing into my '54 Olds Holiday. The goal for this weekend: Cut out...
That's good to hear- As I said earlier, I'm in Portland, and if I can help out a fellow HAMB'r I'd be happy to do whatever I can.
That's the address of a different shop (supposedly) from what OP is dealing with. Address OP provided: 5717 NE 105th ave suite C, Portland,...
M Edell, I might be able to help out, send me a PM and we'll see if we can work something out. It's possible the guy doesn't even have the...
Are you sure that's a legit address? I did a quick check on google, and saw an "omega motors" a little down the street from 5717, but there's not...
That tach is cool. Might see if it has a module under the hood to run it (like the old sun tachs) and save those if you haven't already scrapped it.
Welcome to the HAMB fellow Oregonian.
Oregon has re-issued the "pacific wonderland" plates. I just got a pair for my pickup. They are pretty much the same color as my old sets (sorry...
Think this is the last of 'em. Thanks again for sharing, Greeno!
Another set
more.
More.
13 more. This is an awesome build, thanks for sharing it!
Getting this album together took a little longer than I thought it would, but here you go sir. It only allowed me to do 15 files for this post....
Almost got that album set up.
Assuming I can access the photos on Facebook, I'll make an album of them and reply back to this thread with a link to them so folks without...
You didn't say how awesome your build thread is. I'm including a link to the build thread, so I don't lose track of it later....
I could take discs off a '63 Avanti. But that would just be weird. If I learned anything from reading about Smokey Yunick, there are things that...
I've heard the cooling too fast from short pipes as well, but only from folks who either heard it regarding airplanes (such as your example) or...
I thought the "short or no pipes will burn valves" was due to the fact that allowing the hot air to pass extremely rapidly out of the combustion...
Good point, and sorry I didn't notice your reply earlier. This site doesn't allow as large of file as the hosting service I mentioned does....
Figure I should share a pic of the '54 (sorry no progress shots. Need to remember to take the camera home from the shop so I can start a build...
Porknbeaner, Thanks for the heads up about the front axle. That may be a deal breaker... Duly noted also about the king pin not being true IFS....
Good day all, I have access to a (free) complete front axle/springs/steering assembly from a '54 F1, and am wondering if this would be a good...
I'm 28 and am working on a '54 olds holiday 88. Currently working on putting in a new floor (damn rust) and getting a 394 under the hood.
Front or back half I suppose... Assuming it's split manifolds or duals with no X pipe, it's an easy way to narrow down what cylinders are being...
One thing I always liked about dual exhaust: You can easily tell which side of the engine has had a head gasket blow when the steam starts...
OK- so I keep seeing "Image unavailable-bandwidth exceeded" type messages in the more popular threads. They look like or are similiar to this:...
IFS was adopted for a good reason. While your Belvedere isn't a Cobra, if you rebuild that factory suspension you should have a nice handling and...
I'm so sorry to see and hear what happened to you-glad you're OK. I was in a contested wreck a while back (long story short, other driver hit me...
