Thanks for the tips, guys. Anyone ever try VHT wheel paint? I hadn't thought of using caliper paint or engine enamel.
Maybe a dumb question, but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good rattle can black that will retain a high gloss on a wheel...
Wow.... the in-bomber is looking awesome! :)
327's have the reputation, mainly because almost every one they built in the 62-67 time period had 10:1 CR, and decent heads. The majority of...
Despite what the "traditional police" might say, I like the wheels. Good unique look using imagination and junkyard parts, and somehow they still...
Seeing all the Hurst ad's had me wondering... when did the company move from Eastern PA? Was it before the Mr. Gasket acquisition or??
I like those GTs. Would be a prefect wheel / tire for any mid-60s muscle car.
A great thread, and a nice reminder that the budget of the average hot rodder dictated steel wheels and (maybe) hubcaps. Not everyone could...
I wasn't around back then, but I'd guess that no one in the 1960s outside of the Pacific Northwest had even heard of The Sonics. They seem to be...
Not the finest example, but here is my Dad's that he threw together back in the early 1980s on a shoestring budget. Car started as a bare shell....
When I was a kid in the 1980s, I think I had almost every issue from ~1980-1986. I think they got tossed a long time ago, but many of the covers...
Can anyone give me a history of the "candy stripes" on the roof of so many jr. stockers (like the '57 above)? Who started it? Why was it very...
Little late to this party, but here is mine: [img]
Man... the '62s and '63s on this thread are making me drool! Would love to have one someday!
Can't make this one... just wanted to post because I saw the car in your avatar. I had a chance meeting with you at Sheetz in Carlisle (off of...
AutoBuff... I remember that mag! LOL Cars Illustrated was like everything Car Craft is trying to be, but it was REAL. You could tell that...
That was awesome! I really miss that mag, and the sister "Muscle car" publication. :) DeFeo has to be one of the best automotive journalists of...
What's the story on this one? I like it! Nice Jr. Stock tribute look to it...
Am I the only one that finds it amusing that a bunch of HOT RODDERS are sitting around talking about what LOOKS best, rather than what PERFORMS...
LMAO. :D That is so funny because it is true! Hell, you be hard pressed to do a good rebuild on a belly button motor for under $1000. I'm not...
Pics! We want Pics! :)
Had one fail on a '69 Chevelle that was driven daily. It had < 10k miles on it. We yanked it and went back to points. The Pertronix (original...
Wow! That is a CLEAN Chevy II!!! I love it! :)
1969 Large Journal 327. Bottom end still as-assembled by GM factory workers in 1969 (but starting to show it's age). 64cc heads from a 1996 GM...
How do I give it six stars? :confused: Best Thread I have ever seen on the HAMB!
No personal dealing with them, but I've seen a few complaints about product quality in the 62-67 Nova community. On the other hand, many Chevy...
Slightly off topic for this board (late-60s), but the video really fits this thread. late-60s gear-banging action! Some of these guys are...
I think I have the same box. Was driving dowm my parents alley and saw it laying in a trash pile so I grabbed it. Anyone have any good ideas on...
305 heads aren't going to completely kill power on a 307. BTW... I've never seen a 307 with a timing pointer at 12-o-clock. I don't think they...
Cool! :) Time will be tight for me when I am there. Any "must see" sights while I am in the area, just in case I get a bit of time to look...
