I don't like some of the radical Z cars where the symmetry is gone. The radius of the of the fender, or the body line where the fender was, no...
Contrary to the norm, the weather in the Northwest has been awesome this weekend. Great for sitting in the sun and drinking beer! I'm on the...
Amazing work!
That's a better deal than I just got through Summit. I'm sure that the proper rubber lines, designed for transmission fluid would hold up. Yes...
I don't know how much pressure a turbo 350 or the 700R4 runs at. I would think that any of the line options would hold up to the stock...
They have new metal braided lines that are a rubber like core, Teflon coated and supposed to last like metal. Maybe they do, maybe they don't....
3/8 Brake line might be a good idea. The problem with having them made is that it would be nice to lay down there and figure the routing rather...
You know, I was searching for someplace that sells the metal lines, tools and fittings to run new lines for my car and can't find them. I would...
My 54 was by luck. After a long and expensive divorce that included selling cars and guns, I did a lot of looking in year ranges that I was...
Dang!! I'm a day late and a dollar short again. Many years ago I use to have a little spark plug cleaner kind of like that. A bit newer but the...
Awesome truck!
Make some or buy some.
If he won't give a price, offer $1,500 if you like it. If he doesn't take it, that puts the ball in his court to say what he would take. If they...
Well most on here are saying the dual is better and safer. Very few say a single shouldn't be run at all. The thread was started by someone with...
No, it's just a simple thing to upgrade the safety of a car. I've driven plenty with single reservoirs. I like dual better.
Because of what it would do to the value, you might want to bring it back to stock. Remember, the corvette didn't have a special front end. It's...
You are always one leak away from disaster. Do you have all new lines and cylinders? If not you are probably running something that is ready to...
A lot of nice 4 door cars get parted out to save much worse condition 2 doors. It's the circle of life! Right now I've got a good running '79 El...
Like others have said. Where you are has a huge impact on the price. If it were me and I wanted it, I would look at the $2,500 like you, if the...
I know about going slow building a '54! One dollar at a time. That's all I can do.
Happy birthday! 16 was a fun time. I'm at triple that now. Still having fun but gravity has had an effect on the women, and maybe time has...
Cool. Keep the pictures and video coming! I love them old planes! I remember driving home one time when I lived in North Idaho. I could hear...
I do feel for you. Just yesterday while I was working I got a call. My ex wife had been in my house! The neighbors talked to her boyfriend for...
I've always been pretty lucky with that. I've hit a couple deer in non hot rods in my many years on the road. I came around a corner in my 70...
The exact width as the 49 - 54 Chevy car. A better fit than the '79 el camino rear that I'm using, but I paid $800 for the el camino and it's...
I know I found this thread near the end of the build but I've got to say that I'm in awe of what you've done! Very nice.
What he said. The computer controlled everything in the engine, computer hooked up to the transmission. Get a little newer and the differential...
Thanks for posting the video and thanks also for the picture of the only flying mosquito. I love all planes and I love old war birds even more!
Lots of you will think I'm nuts for saying this, but it's way too low for me. Low looks cool, but I don't want a car I can't drive everywhere. You...
Red and black sure do look good together.
Separate names with a comma.
