I had an H&C dual coil restored by Jere Jobe in California a few years ago. He used Bendix aircraft points that he said would last forever. His...
If you can find a copy of the August 1963 Rod & Custom (try Ebay) there's a three page "Rod Test" of the Twister T. "George Barris puts his...
I must be a greybeard too. I have a collection that dates from the late forties. Over the years I've loaned out and given away a lot of mags...
This one was advertised in our local Sunday paper in February 1967 for $500. It was on the other side of town (about 10 miles away). My dad and I...
Ollies is a closeout store. They buy inventories and sell them. We have them here in Pa. but I'm not sure if they're regional or national. I don't...
Andy is the kind of guy who you like to see get these kind of accolades. I've known some talented builders over the years but I can't think of any...
If I recall correctly (and a lot of times I don't) it seems like the repos were available from Speedway, Reds and a few other places. This would...
REMINDER TO SELF FOR WHEN I GET THE TIME MACHINE UP AND RUNNING: "Go back to 1971 and stop in at several K Marts. Buy up all the Thrush...
I was wondering where you found this information and what brand name of plug it's referring to. I found an old spark plug conversion chart. It...
Thank you for the link. Pretty cool history. I wonder if the new owner is on the HAMB.........
I bought a beautiful '94 wagon from the original owner five years ago and put it in storage. My daily driver died about a month ago so I got it...
.............the RPU towing the belly tank at the HRR? Is he on the HAMB?
Tim. I think you're in the ballpark with your pricing. For what it's worth, didn't we both get our head covers from the same person? Mine were...
I was going to comment about that 29 roadster. It looks good from that angle. Any more pics of it?
Thank you. I think a lot of us around the country are looking forward to seeing photos of this event.
Any updates?
The little books are your friends........... Car Craft April 1957, page 50 "Column Shift for Early Fords........how-to-do-it-feature". If you...
Bringing this one back up..................... I believe Mr. DeHeras had a black 32 coupe (three window I think) featured in an issue of The...
That looks like a '41-'48 Ford wheel. Check the diameter.....it should be 18". '40's were 17". Also '40's didn't have horn rings and that one...
Wow, what a beauty. You're right about the whole package but it starts with the stance. Thanks for the photos.
Great sounds guys. This one is kinda O/T but not really................ a vintage Chris Craft with a flathead six. I believe they used a version...
Uh, sounds like you're ready for the banjo wheel...........or I hear Vise Grips work too.

Four words that don't go together: "Vintage Speed" & "Customer Service".
Good people and quality parts. I was talking to them today about picking up some parts at a swapmeet this spring. For years they had a couple (a...
It looks like an old boat wheel........late 50's thru the 60's.
Tommy Ivo was a bad guy in that episode. He ran over a mother racoon in his hot rod and Lassie was pissed. I have it on an old VHS tape.
Andy, beautiful job on the polishing. Your banjo wheel is ready. Let me know when you want it.
Does that statement include the land that you bought when you were younger and would never sell? Or does this just apply to cars? Seems like an...
Agreed. If somebody hands me the cash they can drive the car into the street in front of my house and set it on fire. It's not my car anymore. If...
