Man, that thing is cooler than the other side of the pillow
I've got a 57 ranchero project on the back burner. I've been thinking about letting it go...this makes me rethink that.
Dennis Carpenter sheet metal does come with a silver protective paint on it. I bought one of their steel 48-50 F-1 Fenders a few years back. It...
Most ‘old school’ junkyards I’ve been to weren’t worth it. The owners were usually some old coot with a bad attitude, the cars were beat, and the...
I tend to gravitate towards real junk. Cars were someone's baby since they were new and don't always deserve the fate they're given. 9 out of 10...
Nice work, and that F100 is gorgeous.
Where's Tom Wopat? Or was he incarcerated for sliding his hand down someone's backside again?
That's a perfectly fine motor. E7TE heads were used on the 87-up 5.0 Mustangs and are good for around 9-1 compression. Look for a cam around 450"...
These supposedly work in our trucks. Haven't personally verified...
Shop is located at Main st Manchester at the old armory
Seems like Eastwoods already addressed your complaints in your previous posts. If you never patented your product, you don't have a leg to stand...
Rich guys are still buying high end cars. As someone who is approaching 40, a deuce is still out of reach and I have no interest. I'd rather...

Same here. Maybe someone should take out an ad to let people know the bottom is falling out of the market.
Flatheads are the engine equivalent of “nice place to visit, but I sure wouldn’t want to live there”. Ive had two in the last ten years. You can’t...
Also, that C6 is going to suck up a lot of horsepower and won’t fit as well. Look for a C4
Looks like a Dana 44. You take the tag and divide it. 47 divided by 12 = 3.91. Fun with a roller 5.0 motor until you want to go over 60 mph
Dollar for dollar the GM Vortec heads are great for mild performance, you just need to have a Vortec style intake manifold which aftermarket makes...
Did this shirt come from the Boyd Coddington yard sale?
I'm not much of an old Chevy guy, but I can't imagine a 1 ton four speed being worth keeping or being the deciding factor on drivetrain? Is it...
Well, for what it's worth, I took my generator apart and one of the springs that holds the brush out let go. I was tempted to merely replace the...
Step 1: Get an iPhone.
They’re easy to find, you just aren’t on the right platform. Quite frankly, a lot of people grew tired of scrolling past all the bullshit posts...
Do you have aluminum heads? I couldn’t tell from the photo. If you’ve got stock heads I’d stick to bolts. I had studs with aluminum heads. Pulled...
Hate to say it, but I think you’ve got a head gasket on the way out. Might be leaking just enough to evaporate the coolant at running temp. Just...
Is the cutoff year 1951 for everything, or just racers?
First gear not being so low. I saw the ratio before I got it, but cognitive dissonance kicked in. Don’t get me wrong, it’s far better than the non...
Remember before the internet when people didn't worry about half of this shit and just went on about their day? Pepperidge Farm remembers....
How about an update?
