Ah, I see it now. I'd never really noticed the Comet beltline detail below the fin. With the chop the car looks so much less angular.
I can't stop going back to the picture of this car. What was it? Dynamic 88? It's like Batman built a gasser, but it scared the citizens too...
Starter on 12v should have no problems. In fact, in my vw days, I'd run a 6v starter on a high torque engine just cause it would fire up quickly....
My rodent problem has been field mice/rats. I've found that they use any clutter or debris nearby as cover while getting to your old car. Thus...
That's quite a used light bulb collection he's got going on in the corner.
LOL, they're already doing this by regulating insurance requirements that prevent us from walking the yards anymore, and imposing...
That is now on my all time top 10 list of favorite interiors. I am concerned however with some a-hole at a car show dropping some change or...
Wow. I can see a Cummins Turbo Diesel in that. Oodles of space, comfort, power, and good mileage. I don't however see a parking spot!
I posted a couple wagons, so when I say this remember that I'm all for the old family cruiser idea and I don't mean to be a downer. But remember...
Congratulations! Might I suggest a 'Green Article' about how hot rodding is the ultimate recycling. We've got those nutjobs that think painting...
Wet sand with a foam sanding block (required!) and the finest sandpaper you can get. You probably won't get it all out, but you can make it...
What the? Dupont arcrylic enamel is no longer available? I only paint a car every 8 years or so and I was just getting good with it! Now I have...
My uncle has 5 kids. The seven of them easily tooled around in a chevy wagon in the 70's and early 80's, and an LTD style wagon later on. They...
'Bout time we got an update! Looks good. Will take more than a second glance for someone to realize somethings up. Will also be a great cool...
Agreed. But without the shroud, and no hood, the air will just take the path of least resistance, which is bouncing off the radiator and out the...
Great idea for a show. May I suggest you publish your invitation in *.PDF format? Not everybody uses Windows, much less MS Word.
Interesting thread. The main point I'm getting is that if anybody offers you any car for little or nothing, take it. Right then, not a few weeks...
When did those old Michelin radials hit the market? 1945? Radials were available in the 50's, so they're not out of the realm of period...
Some very interesting information, however reading it gave me a headache. It was like a research page of a bunch of facts randomly pasted into a...
I don't think most people off the street mean it as a slight or an insult. If they know the term 'rat rod', they think either unfinished car on...
Note that those temporary 30 day car tags/plates you get from a car dealer are police magnets. They'll see them and come up with some lame excuse...
I think the stripes are great, but IMHO, perhaps the colors are what's bothering you as they almost seem a bit too 'stark', or harsh against that...
How was this done? Maybe a gold basecoat, some other darker colors for the scales and then a candy red over the top? How do you get the pattern...
Ah, if ur goin furen, then I'd run the Lexus v8 out of say an LS400. Same big v8 as in the Tundra, but it's an aluminum block and way lighter....
Aw, just release a bug killer/fogger in your cab and come back a few hours later, you big baby. Maybe one in the engine compartment too....
But.. can they do any better than adding just a velocity stack? Doubt it. The paper or foam is going to slow down the intake of air. Open carb...
Can we see pics of the 3cyl engine?
Wow. That van is a precursor to Audi. It's even got the 4 rings on the nose, and those headlight buckets are in fact vw bug/bus buckets.
I get a lot of comments like that with my candy paint on my vw. Waste of money, blah blah blah. Seems they can't take the little car looking...
i'm confused. that looks nothing like my murray mower with briggs 7 stratton motor. awesome.
