Visor, Yeah, I built that kit when I was a kid. It was the inspiration for my '27.
Ratfink, I had a Rod and Custom magazine hidden in my sepellin' book when I was in grammer school.
Got the hood fitted to the T yesterday, now I need to get some Dzus fasteners to hold it on and punch some louvers in it.
Mine came last week, I re-subscribed for three years at the Nats South and got a free 3 year sub. to Street Rodder. I hope they don't go tit's up..
Too low is when you can't make it from your driveway to the street without ripping off the drain plug on the oil pan.

I'll be there, here, across town or something. Trying to get the Model T coupe ready to bring out.
Check the local classifieds for a used Miller, Hobart, or Lincoln 220V, 200-250 amp MIG. That size will do all you will normally need for...
Here's my sad story: In the Fall of 1968 I bought a new '69 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed. In Jan 1969 I got drafted so I sold the car. When I...
I have one in my old Anglia, put it in over 20 yrs. ago. Had to cut a foot out of the middle and shorten an Opel GT rack and pinion. It has worked...
I thought I'd cobbled up some shit over the years but, damn....
