Just paying it forward, glad I could help. Are we going to see your car on the road this summer?
My brother and I just took the stock trans and torque tube out of his 50 Fleetline. The mount was fine, he said you could have it, shoot me a pm.
Take it from some one that wasted too many years looking for perfection. I finally got my car running late last summer, never had so much fun,...
What ever happened to that young kid Peter? He had that 49 Olds 4 door, it was one of the early HAMB chops.
You've lost weight.
Great 8......who cares? They have no place here.
Forgot the pic:rolleyes:
Made some progress the last few days. Tools of choice, heat gun, gloves and the wood hande from my window squeegy.
My speedo would work if I changed the gearing in the tranny, 2800 rpm is 60 mph. I'm glad my fuel gauge works, don't have to worry about running...
I've never been a big T fan, but that 27 is beautiful, get's my vote! As for the loooong Phaeton, just think of the time, effort and money that...
I had the shocks for my Olds rebuilt by Apple Hydraulics in New York. Great service and quality, they even "reclocked" the contol arms to account...
Well, now we know where you got it from, congrats! Any updates?
Thanks guys, those tips will save me some time and grief! Our local Home Depot (in Canada) doesn't carry Peel & Seal. The Fat Mat is well priced,...
It's O.T. Had this back in 92 when we opened the dragstrip. 12.40's street tires and mufflers. Sure fooled a lot guys on the street. [IMG]

After driving my car for the first time this summer, I quickly discovered the importance of floor insulation. It's like driving a Libby's bean can...

Apparently the new 2014 Corvettes are going to come with cast aluminum exhaust manifolds.
What a weekend....... First I get outbid on the Batmobile, now this..;) Congrats EBW! Thanks for the chance Mr. G, by the way the online store...
Haven't been here in a long time, but starting to hang around more now that my car actually runs!
Rocket88 is number 88 on the list....it's an omen! Good luck guys!
Thanks guys, I figured we would have to change the bell.
215 ci Buick?
Olds fenders are about 8" longer, from the fender opening to the door. I think certain American Pontiacs might have the same wheelbase. What...
bump...for the daytime crowd.
We want to do a tranny and torque tube swap on my brother's 50 Chevy Fleetine. Already have a rear end out of a 57 Chev prepped and ready to bolt...
Just got my car running this year. Throw my name in the hat for the dropped uprights. Thanks Santa G!
Bought my Olds in 2001, got it running in time for the Old Time drags. Me and my Bro's Fleetline.
Wow, congrats!
