Post 141 to be exact. I had to go look at it again so I figured I'd post it. Merry Christmas, guys, KRH
Great pic, I haven't seen that one before. Quaker City is in my neighborhood and is owned by friends. Merry Christmas, guys. Kevin
If I remember correctly, only the first two cam bearings were bored on a true crammer block since they only ran a stub. I do remember something...
Sunday Driver was one of the first books I ever read for pleasure. It was given to me by my Dad, who died of complications from many years of...
Man, that was a score. I'd put up with an occasional rub for those rims. I didn't think about them not filling up the openings. Thanks for the...
We were thinking 225/60 on the rear and 205/60 on the front, Diamond Back smooth black walls. We're kind of limited because of the rim width. I...
Thanks, Tman. I'm real happy with the results, exactly what I was looking for. Yeah. Pretty straightforward, cut apart, true, weld. It was far...
Well, that's what we ended up doing. I'm really liking the results:
Besides DRH and I, I wonder how many people are even going to notice the reversed rims. They look really good with the dog dishes. With a little...
My uncle enlisted in the Army after Pearl Harbor. The old man tried to enlist in the Air Corps but they wouldn't take him because of his overbite....
I'm in. Good luck to you guys. Kevin
Pontiac also had a Grand Prix version of the Aerocupe. I've seen a grand total of one of those. I'm sure the rules on homologation changed as...
I thought later in the '60's they had the 500 unit rule. That's why the number of Boss 429 Mustangs (to legalize it as a production engine)...
I don't think the 428 showed up in Galaxies until 1966 as the 7 Liters. I believe there was more than 350 Galaxies with 427 engines, also. They...
How much of the original cage was left in the car when it was found? Kevin
"A 427 is a Chevy motor, dumbass" That has been said to me a few times. I just laugh and steer clear. Kevin
Taken by my son while taking the last ride in our Olds before it went in the garage for rebuild. Five minutes after this pic was taken the front...
What about a converter like OSPHO sprayed first? Has anyone ever used it? I knew a guy who swore by the stuff. Thanks Kevin
Welcome from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. My kid and I are working on a '55 Ohsmobile 2 door Holiday Coupe. He's also a member here. Enjoy, Kevin
Search Dennis K's posts, he was involved in that discussion and might help you find it. But what's pictured above is what I got out of that...
Here's a pic of the late 60's/70's "art work" on the hood of that Fairlane. Took me a while to figure it out but it says Jimi Hendrix. I think...
The OP is my kid and he's clear full of sheet. I changed the oil once and I'm pretty sure I blew the filter out once. It still ran perfect. We...
I'm pretty sure that BSR was up to 5 liters or thereabouts. ASR was unlimited displacement. No restrictions on number of cylinders. Same with A...
ASR? I'm kind of surprised it'd be considered a sports racer. I suppose because of the heavy body mods it wasn't legal for A Sedan or Production....
Who built Junior's car? I feel I know this and I'm gonna feel like a dunce but I'm drawing a total blank. Freddie has his window down some. I...
Bump.......Anyone have anymore pics/stories? Kevin
Is that a two barrel on that engine or am I seeing it wrong? I can't imagine they'd have run a two barrel at Sebring.
We're going to paint it gloss black so it'll be black with a red interior. I'm thinking tuck and roll but we'll see. We're planning on doing...
Damn, Brick, the rear wheel openings really look good. I like the flares. I can't wait to see it on the ground. Kevin
Beautiful work, as usual, Flop. I can't wait to watch you bring the rest of that body back. Man, that thing is rugged. Kevin
