Then I saw this. Remembered tipping over and getting head skinned when I was 5. Back in '63.
I have no idea who build this incredible work of art. Maybe one of our HAMB masters. I lifted the picture from somewhere else.
I use a very old Stilson wrench, a kind of articulated pipe wrench. Great tool. This and a few early snap-ons, and some Williams wrenches....
52 Mercedes, certainly uncommon. A friend of my dad's stumbled across one of these covered in dust in a barn in Cranberrry, NJ back in the early...
1977 '67 Volvo 1800S
Outstanding spokeswoman for Hurst. Was she also the girl who rode shotgun in "Hurst Hemi Under Glass"? Or is she too young to have been? I...
Great point on the boxed frame...that's what I found too, extra reinforcement and heavier a-arms, the buick site can help you compare the base...
The 64 convertible is very desireable. Grill looks like the later 66/7 chevelle, best of all the skylark/special front ends. And the back panel...
And sometimes it plays-out very, very differently. In early may, my boy and I chased-down the owner of an 80's exotic that was getting...

Good move. If it were a front engine alloy V8 928, different story, though. Here's a blown one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5EPBCyiSI4
A little OT, flashback to my mom about 40 years ago... "Bob this car doesn't work right" (59 chev, 4bbl, 348) "Whats wrong with it, Arlene?"...
Go, Newfoundlanders, Go!
Maybe you could add some insulation that would absorb the noise? Then let her validate that your solution worked makes it better.. worth a shot....
We just saw the episode. They recognized the history, that's a good thing. As for the car and the investigative work, 5 minutes into the show...
In Richmond, VA the only answer is Greyline, a family outfit. They can rebuild an old reverse rotation marine starter in 2 days and call your...
Great Idea. A friend of mine has a 60's glas Sidewinder, no fins, but has that hydroplane look. Helped him strenghten the floors a few years ago.
Last week the Virginia DMV told by daughter-in-law, just moving here from NC, that the 94 Camry needed to be inspected before being titled!...
A few short years ago I was teaching my girl Sara to do powerslides in a 5 speed K-Chevy truck, behind her old elementary school. Flash-foreward,...
Can't help with build advice, but my wife and I had a 72 Rally Nova 307, 2bbl. Quick, reliable, awesome. It's been gone for 25 years and we...

Past 130 in a new V8 75 Mustang II 85mph in the hills near Bristol raceway in an Olds F85 330. You should never get your drum brakes too hot.

Picked up a derelict TR6 about 25 years ago. Parked it in the basement of our new house. Turned out to be infested with oriental cockroaches....
And us kids use to make 'em out of wood and nails we found at building sites, rebar axles and baby carriage wheels, broomstick steering columns.
May be easier to pull the water pump and look into it that way. Am told that salt-used marine blocks are not worth trouble to rebuild. If its...
A couple more things. Usually they have a more durable set of gaskets, primarily oil pan and head gaskets (sometimes are stainless). Though not...
My 67 chevelle had one originally.
