Sometimes I get annoyed but then all of the sudden someone will say I have a such and such at home. I've found that by driving old cars around you...
Yeah man great looking car I'd love to see more pix of the build when you have the chance.
I'm going to be there....Can't wait!!!!
No way man not worth the money...........unless you have a pile of it lying around and you can't find any better projects closer to you.
I'd say it is definitely a 50 or newer because the belts appear to be the newer style skinny ones.
I met a guy that took bent spoke wheels and widened it by trimming the outer portions of the wheel off and welding on a new rim while keeping the...
Hell yeah!!! That car looks great!!! Some of the guys I know were bummed about cutting up such a nice original car to start with, but I told them...
I surf colorado style.....That is waves in the river. Wish I lived closer to the ocean.
I really don't have any idea where they are heading next. I think Aspen or Vail.
Actually I was really surprised. There were very few trailers there. They really drive their cars. There were definitely a bunch of paid mechanics...
Sorry no more pictures of the Muntz.
Yeah that one mercedes coupe was the winner of the 52 LeMans race. And that one Ferrari is all dinged up from some sort of a fender bender. But he...
More pix
I live out in the middle of nowhere way up in the mountains in Crested Butte Colorado, and yesterday a bunch or vintage mostly european cars...
I had my 57 olds up to 120 last summer. probably the sketchiest thing I have ever done. So I had to top that with taking a picture while doing it....
Yeah I'm right there with you I love the 57 Buicks and 57 oldsmobiles. I love the split back window and the trim lines. Beautiful!!! Here is a pic...
I have the coker 3 7/8" on mine and love them.
Yeah thanks for posting those. That looks like a hell of a good time. Wish I could have been there for sure. I love the 57 olds Fiesta Wagon.
I've heard that you can heat the spokes to sort of true the wheel.
A couple trick I've used in the past on bigger old engines. 1) on a huge cat that was froze up we had a 3/4" plate and bolted it on inplace of...
I'm running cokers on both my 57 olds and my 50 merc. over 4000 miles on my merc with no problems at all running WWW bias plies on the merc and...
Yeah I agree that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Has he ever been to a swapmeet? Guess he was born yesterday and doesn't know any...
Yeah I think what is comes down to is quit being lazy and cheap and get some juice brakes on there and drive the shit out of it. I guess that is...
Yeah I am running the 1950 colorado plates on my merc. Oh yeah and I'm 99% sure that in 1946 they only put out singles and not pairs. Also for the...
I'd like to do this temporarily.(4" super bell dropped axle with mechanical brakes) I searched the model A forum and found nothing. Anyone else on...
yeah looks like a botched 50 ford to me. could be a fun car but 2500 is way way way too much to pay for it. for 500 bux it could be a fun project.
I drive the hell out of my 50 merc and consistently get 18 mpg. It does have the overdrive, but if you ran a S-10 tranny you might get even better...
Here are a couple more pix of some rods and my 50 merc. I love driving it. The 28 has been in alot of mags and is also a rebuild of a old rod from...
I had a great time at the show. That 41 ford in the first picture is an original Barris chopped car. It is beautiful.
