My dad might be willing to part with a 5.0 roller motor for cheep. (It needs a rebuild) I believe American Racing makes Daisys. They also make...
here ya go for my once-in-a-blue-moon post by the way, the Windsor was a small pain in the ass, even with adaptor motor & trans mounts, I still...
Yeah. Great photos. Like Dez, I planned to take lotsa photos but took none.
I'm repainting my car tonight & tomorrow morning!
nice ride, man! Can't wait to see it in the metal!
The Hucksters are playing on Friday night but Hi-Fi & the Roadburners are a Saturday must-see!
Her elbow would dent a real beetle hood! I've used steel wool before. It actually works just fine.
Look in the first coupla pages of the new Rolls & Pleats. There's a multi-carb setup plumbed in polished copper tubing with polished brass...
the machine shop who rebuilt it said to use race gas. It's too loud to hear ping(or I didn't hear it anyway) It blew the first time from...
So it appears that my engine has higher compression than I had originally calculated. 10.68:1 = not pump gas. I need either race gas or a good...
every thursday! This cruise needs some support. Kevin is a cool guy who does great work & most of the folks that frequent it are allright, so...
Nice knob. Kevin did a nice job working my tubes.
at least it's not a Chevy! At Great Lakes Dragaway, I saw a '46 Ford gasser with a Hilborn- injected Olds motor. Unique.
at the first Hunnert Car Pileup, Irritant set one afire! I have a headless crybaby, made out of my nephew's old clothes, with a vinyl puddle of...
what is the point of "dummy" anything? why put something on your car if it doesn't work?
overheard when a local overrated car sold for more than it was worth: "It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it." (whether or not...
Nick deserves the HAMBel Prize (tm) for getting this together!
I had so much fun (even if 57Wagon had won). Thanks to everyone involved! Let's hope this happens every year, if not sooner!
yeah. a buddy of mine who doesn't follow "the book" is working on a nice-looking one.
I have a screwed up alarm in my jap car. I have to pull a fuse & re-insert it for the car to start. No valet parking for that one. In the...
Here's my '56. Flamethrowers soon to go bye-bye, due to getting a new exhaust & me not wanting to ruin my engine. There are 4 doors, but the...
Nice! Hope to see it at the Pileup in October, if not around Chicago before then! Take it from me, put a real lumpy cam in the engine. The...
so THAT'S why Bleed isn't playing! Congrats from a recent divorcee!
Well, it DID smell of exhaust before I bit the bullet & dropped it off at Hotrod Chassis & Cycle to have Kevin whip me up a set of sweet headers...
damned father's day! I wonder if he'll be offended if I blow him off... I wonder if he'll wanna go to MN... I wonder if my car will be...
On second thought, what would a race engine that NEEDED the extra flow use? I'm borderline. Melling's website says the regular oil pump is...
Yeah. I just heard back from mallory. They said the oil pump was causung it & they put a spiral roll pin in the new ones (mine had a spiral...
Sunday, I had my car blessed. MUCH smaller than the California show. I've been having a bit of trouble tuning my first engine build, so I let...
Nice! I like '56 Buicks almost as much as I like '56 Fords
The roof has waaay too much Sunburst on it & it's like sandpaper. The flames have a base of sunburst with Dupli-Color MetalCast candy red on top....
