Great post Ryan! Learning about what the Germans were doing just before the war really changes one's perspective on Hot Rod/racing history- no...
That's exactly it. There's a difference between being a capitalist and being a crook - and that difference is that if you lie when you're selling...
I feel ya! My Crosley was my only car for two years, and while it usually ruled, it sometimes sucked. I compromised, and for the last ten years...
Depending on what you want to do with the car (street or strip) you can do a whole lot. 50 or so HP is doable with a car that can be driven...
At least he didn't give you a song and dance first about how he needs a deal but they're all he needs to complete his project and he's totally...
Congrats on a job well done! Any pics yet?

Great story- I'd never heard that one. Funny, after all those years under the damp sand it still looked better than that Belvedere they unearthed...
sounds perfect- looks like it's easy to get for about $25.. I'll check it out- thanks!
Great find and at least it's going to someone who's stoked rather than rotting into the ground. Now I just hope the new owner doesn't do it up...
Awesome footage and it got me to go back and watch the full half hour LeMans documentary Ryan posted about a while back. Nothing like watching...
Any idea what he's asking? Couldn't find a price on his site...
i've got a 1.5 car garage stuffed with 3 project cars, so I know a little about this... Two things have really hampered me over the years- one...
Funny you just mentioned Dean Batchelor- the first thing I thought of reading this post was how he was so inspired by the '30s Auto Union cars...
great stuff- Braje would be proud!
That's Dale and Rob Liebherr's 'Never Paid 4' Crosley out of Minden Nevada. My wife and I were part of their pit crew for a day in 2009. Here's...
Almquist made tons of speed and custom equipment back in the day, including several styles of fiberglass bodies for Crosleys and other cars....
Thanks! been following your build for a while- that T is amazing! Eyerly's trick was two-fold: first, make the car super straightforward.....
That's maybe my favorite Crosley-powered vehicle ever... the Eyerly Crosley, nicknamed the 'Porsche Duster.' Eyerly was a hydroplane racer who...
Sorry i missed the question about the straight six- yes- it's a GMC
I'm going through this right now- I just rebuilt my garage and put up an entire wall of shelves for car/project parts. At the moment I've got...
great thread!
Nope, you need to build one of these: [IMG] more info on Crossley here: http://www.crossley-motors.org.uk/
i don't even know why I'm posting, but here goes... I've lived in California nearly forty years. When I first got here I could see the Sierra...
nice work- I like how it seems like this all happened in a day!
That wagon looks pretty cool- if it's a later '49 or a '50 it'll have disc brakes. If it's one of the first 50 '49s produced it'll still have...
The car in the first post is an Almquist bodied Special- they sold a lot of fiberglass bodies and hop up equipment back in the day. Ed Almquist...
Just realised that Dean (who wrote the article I linked) had already posted some stuff about Tommy and his motor on the hamb:...
