I'd love to be the gung-ho go for it type, but I don't think this story ends that way. Get the car, get some good pics of you sitting in it...
I'd go with a SBC, (cheap/dependable/lots of good lookin' old stuff bolts to 'em) but I'm a broke ass. Yeah, that motor sucks. I guess that's...
Heck, based on what I've seen from the HAMB drags stuff, I'd be willing to truck a couple hours out to Temple and go there. <- kicking himself...
Well, I know Ennis is a little impersonal, and there's definately something to be said about owning the joint while you're at it, even if it's on...
When you ask that question, you have to list the potential spots. Yellow belly (1/8) ain't exactly the Ritz, and Kennedale (1/8) is headed that...
Agreed. This should do the trick.
I don't know if this helps with perspective, but I had a 2005 Mustang GT (5spd manual) for about a year, and I got an average of 19.5 mpg. I'm not...
Any reason to use that engine besides "she likes her Pontiacs"? I only ask because it seems like if you're going to tackle a pain in the ass, it...
Are you lettin' that L.A. Hollyweird shit get to you Skratch? :D I personally don't care about mpg in a hot rod, but maybe I'd feel...
Whoah, now that is impressive. But do you use the word "genius"? You have to ask yourself, wouldn't a hundred monkeys with metal working tools...
I'm sure there are tons of things that could fall under the definition of "gasser". But the things I like about them would be nose-high straight...
For a 56 hard top? Hell yeah, that sounds like a good price. Nevermind that it's so unique with a killer interior.
Welcome aboard from another good Fort Worth boy, Vern!
You're knockin' my socks off with this pen work Jeff! This one in particular speaks to me because I so vividly remember standing in that exact...
That is one sanitary solution. Diggin' the hell out of that, nice work.
We're painting with some pretty broad strokes here, when it comes to blasting. There are tons of different media, and lots and lots of...
Sheeeeeit, that is just plain sexy!
Not only that, but there's so much bad-assitude to that particular car, you could look at it for hours and not see the safety wire. That said,...
Add me to the list of droolers. Cool as hell to see it in person.
Lookin' good Matt! One of these days me and/or Levi need to bail on the F-100 work and come play with Model A parts. -Blake
Nice! Shop looks great. Side note, but I just found the time to crank up the 'ol DVR and finish watching the show. You did good man, and you...
Lonestar Roundup and Goodguy's at Texas Motor Speedway. Maybe I'll make it to more when I actually have junk that runs?
That's teh-riffic! Seriously though, good step by step. Makes it look easy.
Great pics Kirk! It was a great goodguys show for sure. That bare metal "Flying A" was a highlight for me and a few other hambers that were...
Good pics. Looks like there was a competition to see how many beers can be stacked on/near a hot rod. I like it.
Looks like a nice show. I haven't been in a couple years, but our N. Texas Goodguys seems to have a lot more of the TPI engine swap crowd.
I really like the idea of a "converted" de-roofed car. I was really playing around with the idea of chopping a Checker Marathon... Ugly, but...
She's a beaut! Love the lines. I don't know why he can't throw a little carpet in there before useing a word like "finished", but what the hell...
I'm just glad it'll be something new and hopefully different. I love Chip and all, but if I see another two-tone or Mustang with stripes I'm...
Hell yeah, from grill to tail lights, that looks like a fun ride!
