The magazine that I was thinking of was the February 1976 issue of 1001 Custom and Rod Ideas. If you have a bunch of those mags laying around it...
I just searched through my old mags for about half an hour and couldn't find what I was looking for.............. I seem to remember that delivery...
That's an excellent point. Now that Bill Jenks is gone I consider myself lucky to have had him personally grind a Potvin Super 3/8 cam for me but...
I think you're going to find that anything with shorter risers on a PM-7 has been modified. Based on the number of cut-down versions that I've...
Another vote for either of the two hi -risers. Connect your 97's with a throttle linkage and you shouldn't have any problems. If you're thinking...
I'll add my thanks. I came home from work yesterday and since the RJ is too big to fit in the mailbox I found it wedged between the mailbox and a...
Ryan. My son will turn 21 (years) in two weeks. I can remember carrying him around at car shows when he was about your son's age. The reason I...
Great find. If that car had been sitting outside for that long around here you might be able to salvage the top three or four inches of the doors....
I'm with you. I found one that was in an old warehouse and it had a GM insignia on the tab. If it was mounted with the tab on the bottom the GM...
I've always enjoyed the Poverty Flats swapmeet threads with all the cool photos. It's fun to see what's out there even if the swapmeets are too...
Here's a video to check out. Your friend's right, nailheads are no good. You'd be better off going with a SBC (yawn!). But if you HAVE to settle...
I won a cool old steering wheel on Ebay in July. The seller who is located in Oklahoma shipped it July 29 via parcel post and forwarded the...
It sure would be cool if somebody had some video (and especially audio) of it firing up.
A little O/T I guess, but sorry to hear about your neighbor's terminal cancer. Too much of that going around.
X2........ don't forget some barbed wire, burlap for the seats, iron crosses, nerf bars made our of old wrenches, cut a really nice steering wheel...
Love it. Sounds like straight pipes.....how about some details on the engine mods.
Check to see if your mailtruck is chopped with big 'n little tires. Maybe straightpipes? I used to have a subscription to one of the car mags and...
It's hard to make a 39/40 sedan look mean. Besides no hood, the louvered deck lid, Stude taillights and nerfs help a lot too.
Not too many engines sound as cool as a Y Block, especially thru straight pipes. I always liked this video....
So did you find any goodies? How was the vendor turnout compared to past years?
I'm very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I commend you for trying to pass on the no smoking message. My father passed away from kidney...
I like cars and I like almost all kinds of music. But to me that is a music video featuring a really cool 36 coupe. I still love watching the...
Great idea. If those two pics are of the subject car it looks to be in pretty good shape. I see that it still has the 16" wires that you won't...
Sorry to hear this. In my opinion one of the absolute best pieces of hot rod literature ever written (by editor Bud Bryan) was the Rod & Custom...
Take a close look at T5's avatar. That's what happnes when you eat off dishes that were in the dishwasher with a bunch of carburetors.
How do you get it outa there, chainsaw or Sawzall?
I second that. When the Rolling Bones came through our town last summer we were struggling with $4.00 a gallon gasoline prices. Dan Parker from...
I'm sorry to hear that. I have been unfortunate enough to have worked at three companies in my carrer that have closed. So I know how you're...
I have a bunch of flatties laying around and that block looks like a 99 (39-42 Merc or big Ford truck)to me. Check for markings on the right front...
Great story Andy. Thanks for sharing. I hope your friend Dave leaves that Naval Air Staion decal just the way it is. When you said that you guys...
