It is awesome to see this come back together so fast and so well! Anxiously waing to see the finished car.
On a similar note, "Pickers" piss me off. They always stop by dads place, and have talked it out of some cool stuff over the last few years,...
Mentor, my dad. Helper... still looking, but I'm hoping my kids will be interested. My dad was a second generation gearhead and always had a...
I would have guesses 6 as well, but I was told 4. I can't wait to check it out in person and see how if its.as good as it looks. I was told...
Not a barn find, more like a yard find:D What year is this? A friend of mine knows I'm into old tin and sent me the teaser pics. Don't know...
I was guessing 27-28, the differences are minor at that point. My dad has bits of a 28 at his house yet, and a clean 27. Worth saving for sure,...
Well said, This sums up my opinion on most things these days.
I have a bunch of old thunderjets, magnatraction, G-plus, and a few of the Lifelike and tyco cars. 30 some total that run. I just bought one of...
Very cool find. Not sure on the value, you'd probably need an Auburn guru to help you out...
Love that movie. My wife even loves it, and she's usually not into "car" movies.
Thats sweet for sure. You're lucky, I only got socks. Of course, I did my own shopping:rolleyes:
Great cars. I have grown up around them and own two, a 50 Pacemaker sedan and 47 truck. (Got two more on my shopping list as well). I always...
Well said!
Thats pretty sweet. I'm kicking myself for passing up a clean 67 Travelall a few years back... I'm Jealous
Nice find. I love the old Ford trucks!
I stuggle with this quite a bit it seems. I usually end up selling if I think it's really something I won't use. One that comes to mind was a...
Another idea, I bought a few packs of red & blue zerk caps from Mcmaster Carr. It's a few bucks for a pack of 100. As I grease, I install a cap...
I have just less that 5K into my Avatar truck, most of that buying the truck. It has a sbc 350/350 with a 10 bolt rear. After tires and all, I...
The last time I used this was a 46 Hudson 8. The exhaust manifold was packed with acorns and nesting crap. Knocked out the stuck valves and...
I can only think of 3 or 4 times we've ever used it, but it is handy and saves farming it out. I mess mostly with old Hudson in line engines,...
I plan to restore it someday. Mechanically is is tight and a very good machine, a good cleaning goes a long way.
My good ole dad hooked me up with some of his equipment that he doesn't use anymore. Score, Thanks dad ! Thor Seat grinder set [IMG] Sioux...
The birth of my first son (fifth child). I would have been just as happy with another girl, but it feels good to have a son! He was born healthy...
Reduce current debt (rough year :( ) Get my truck safe and on the road get my dads Terraplane 8 engine back together finish my el-cheapo garage...
Being a Hudson guy I loved the first movie. Ill be there ,kids in tow. It looked like a [MEDIA]pacer and a gremlin in there too.
Scout Craigslist, Ebay, and the HET forum http://www.classiccar.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=showcat&catid=13&Itemid=152 something...
Looks like a decent deal to me, barter a bit and you got a winner.
My last winter beater when I was up north was an 84 GMC S15 with over 300K on it. The clutch was shot, it leaked a quart of oil every fill up,...
I actually think that the cheapest way to go will be an original Hudson drive train. Yours would have been an inline 6, 232, but the larger 262...
My dad is a mechanical engineer who's work situation left him but with no choice but to use his hobby (working on old cars) to support a large...
