That black coupe in the front just does it for me... Dang, I can't wait to get home and work on the Model A.
I have an Ipod nano in mine, and it uses the headphone wires as the antenna. When I had it tucked up above the visor with the wires running down...
Don't get me wrong.. I love shiney ones too, but just going thru the pic's I've saved of cars that really move me, lots of them aren't finished.....
I think it's cause they look like someone is still workig on them. It ain't cool when they are in primer and finished.. It's like running one of...
First of all I really want to like shinny paint, and I really do strive for it on my cars. So why is it that most of the cars I drool over have...
My two favorite blues, I don't know the name of the first, but I like it. [IMG] and Marina blue. [IMG]
Make sure the flexplate is on the motor when you put it in the car, and not on the workbench. 2 Carb bolts are not strong enough to pick up a...
I run a simpson lap belt in my Corvair :) Before I straped myself in with a 5 point harness I would look really close at the seat I was straping...
Get a cheap gun, and spend the difference on paint to practice with. I bought a Harbor Freight gun to shoot primer with, and am using it for...
My brother clear powder coated his halibrand. Went out to the garage one frozen morning, and the thing had spiderwebed. I use WD-40, and re-polish...
I keep hearing Sesame Street in the background... One Of These Things (Is Not Like The Other) [IMG]
Where?
Well it certainly makes sence that there would be a problem. The core is gonna get hotter than the end caps, and Aluminum expands a lot. Can't the...
I was told use the 1791 first, then the DPLF. Something about the DPLF (Lead Free) not having the zinc the older DP had. Then I read on some other...
Thought about re-bodying my circle track car with a Corvair body thats sitting in the back yard. Measured it up, and it would fit better...
Here's what I plan on doing. 1. Strip to bare metal, abrasive disks on outside surfaces and sandblast the rest. 2. Metal finish major damage to...
Stick shift, lots of gauges, good wipers, radio, and good handeling. Heat optional, it's only cold and wet for 11 months out of the year here.
It would be really nice to be able to view nothing but the pictures in a thread. Trying to sort thru a zillion pages of posts back and forth, just...
Curse you. That one speaks to me. Now I gotta go drag the pickup sheetmetal back out of the attic. Not like I didn't have enough projects already.
I just installed an Ipod Nano over the weekend in the Corvair. The new Nano has an FM receiver, so I can get the traffic report now too. [IMG]
OMFG.... If that is the way it was mounted I would question how it was wired. An MSD box wired correctly will work reliably, but one wired half...
Me too, in the mid 80's. When were you there? [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks Rooman. That's like a step by step guide. I've printed it out, and will read it a few more times. One more question. I pulled the 8-3/4...
More questions. I got the 8-3/4 rearend, powerglide, and engine block laying in the middle of the garage floor... now what ???... How wide do I...
Thats the look. 140" WB, '64 to '65 right at the transition to full bodies. With an injected Pontiac motor.
Vintage Wheels look great, but they only have 15 x 8 and I need 15x10 for the slicks I want to run. American Racing TTO is 15 x 8-1/2. ET...
A frame jig doesn't make anything straight... just makes it quicker to get it straight. If your only building 1 frame it don't matter. If your...
I have several sets of real American Torque Thrusts, but God only knows how old they are, and how many pot holes they have gone thru. I am...
At least it ain't one of those belly button Hemi's. :)
