A Hurst mount makes an SBC into an early Ford swap a lot easier because it mounts to the factory flathead mounts on the frame. And, as has been...
Not saying this is the problem, but I lashed the valves like I always have done when the engine was on the stand, zero lash plus a half turn. Had...
For inspiration this is a 56 Super I had. All stock. Dropped spindles in the front and lowering springs in the back. The 4 barrel 322 nail had...
Help me Hot Rod Historians, I thought this was the Neal East car. Same car? Different?
I watched a little Barret-Jackson this week. Old stuff that we like, unless it's historically significant is selling way under the cost to build....
53-54 Chevys make great Kustoms. Moonglow is one of my favorites.

Really neat little hot rod. I’ve been watching Andy Southard Jr archival footage on YouTube and this thing would fit right in at any 60’s Bay Area...
What happened? Ran out of gas? Stuck in a well? Locusts?
The sedan in the foreground is on a lift. They never sat THAT high.
Right place at the right time. Good on ya!
Yeah, looks shady. A step in the frame would keep in the same ride height and allow the crossmember to clamp around the frame, instead of being...
I lived in Fort Worth for the last 18 years, moved to Oklahoma 6 months ago. Just curious of the neighborhood the car was located, I don't need...
