It's a long term retirement project recreating his street race car from the early seventies. The engine is around 500 cubes now with Hilborn EFI....
Many of them are cracked in the center water jackets. If you bought all of the rest of the parts to finish it you will be around double that...
I would go to a 392, slightly taller than a 345 and way more power. I drive mine as a daily in my 1210 and usually loaded with no complaints on...
Check out the 64 riv that win the Ridler last year. I have seen this car up close and while ot, for here, the combo of a 64 Riviera with a 71-3...
I don't know exactly what I'm looking at, but wow! That would be so cool to see in reality. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I've been following your other build too, I daily drive my 72 IH 1210 with a 392 here in Edmonton, so I like seeing what you are coming up with on...
I like the concept of building a phantom "what if" car. Looking at your proportions, you may be able to get a lot of your panels from sectioning a...
I really dig it. Normally not into faux finished cars, but this one looks so right and so much better than many of the street rodded Willys coupes...
I am blown away by the level of detail you have maintained throughout. I used to be a goldsmith, and understand the level of concentration it...
No question the engine would end up with an EFI conversion on the Hilborn and run it in that car with a tremec. Second choice would be 6/71 on a...

Car work aside, he was a guy that loved the people in this hobby. He was a consummate promoter and his success and longevity was due to his people...
That's super cool! What's the history on that one? Looks 60s show car, but nicely preserved. Was it a raced body? Posted using the Full Custom...
For the 59 I did I bought a 1980 1 ton parts truck to swap out the rear end and the 16" wheels. They bolted on to the original front hubs, so a...
Well, I was able to vote using a friend's laptop. On my phone, even on the regular Hamb site as well as the phone app, the little boxes don't show...
I cannot seem to find it with the phone app, computer is currently down. The link posted just goes to the thread about voting. Posted using the...
I love tech week, and all of the submissions were great, thanks to all of you who posted. I have been looking for where to vote on Tech week. I...
That is true, but they do mention the older ones in their catalogue, and they have a lot of caddy specific knowledge. I would contact them first...
google the 500cad guys, they have decades of building cad racing engines. They were very helpfull with my 472.
Most guys would still be talking about what they were going to do. What engine is it? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
You are starting with a nice car, and it is a good initial plan, should be drivable quickly. You could check out Shane's (from Baileigh)build on...
That's very cool, and I will definitely use that, likely for my remote p.s. reservoir too. By the way that looks like a massive windshield chop on...
I did it for the same reason years ago, and decided to leave the bezels intact. I cut through the body of the gauge about 1/2" below the bezel....
Wow that's a wide engine for a narrow space. I have one in my 53 chev truck. But I did a later one ton frame swap. The steering shaft in the stock...
Like the color. That car looks looooong and low Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Looks like a great candidate for the Corvette Gasser thread......
This is beautiful! kind of reminds me of a Dick Tracy cartoon car. The biggest problem with Frankenstein cars is proportion. I think most guys...
pics work fine for me. Thanks for posting, hadn't used that card stock before, looks much better than what I have used
Awesome logo. Never seen one on the inner door panel like that either, but it works well on that car. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
