I just replaced the single barrel Holley, on my 62 Comet, and the old one looked like your rear carb. The rebuilt one out of the box (rebuilt in...
Probably just fuel stains and a little dirt. If so I've used a nylon brisle brush (similar to the small metal bristle toothbrush style ones) and...
You do in Washington State (as seen on the tags on the transporter). That's why I miss it out there. Some incredible deals on old tin there, but...
Garage........what's a garage. Be grateful that you have one of those to work in, even if it is 1 hour away. You're rebuilding yours and still...
Damn, read my mind. I was thinking about asking this last night.
Bet there was a lot of "patina" behind that chunk of bondo. Seen some thick ones in the boneyard but nothing that thick.
Thanks for all the kind comments you guys. Wasn't very little though at 9 lbs. 3 oz.
Was searching and found this thread. Great car. I saw one of those 2 door wagons in the boneyard when I was stationed in Washington State....
Congrats on the baby. Man we had one Sunday and the hat and blanket are exactly the same. Hospitals all over the country must order from the same...
After a lot of girlfriends I tell you it's not gonna get any better. Once she feels like she has more control, and say, it's gonna geta helluva...
The county landfill around here has tire amnesty days. On a couple of days a year they take a certain number tires, per person, for free. Huge...
Damn, that's the definition of ate up with cars right there!!!!!
Looks good on the car. Good to see something different than painted steelies once in a while.
I think people just like what they like. I catch a lot of crap, from the younger guys I know, because I listen to 50s, 60s and 70s music. There's...
New baby boy came last Sunday at 11:07 PM. Looks like I need to find another future father/son project car. My 3 year old daughter has already...
Here's an oldie but a goodie. One of my favorites and a must see. Supercharged inline 8. I believe he's a member here too....
Torch will work. That's what I did with a 60 comet on the way to the crusher. Basically torched all the way around, across the cowl near the...
Unfortunately that's been the trend, on this site, over the last couple of years as you've seen. You get away from the site, for a couple days at...
Fluid drive transmission. Do a search and you'll find several threads about it here. Make sure you set the parking brake as those cars, with...
All trucks from 60 on and any musclecar.
Nomad's a totally different animal and brings big money. A lot like the prices the GTO guys pay, sometimes just to get the VIN and title. Old...
That's exactly what I was going to say. Traded a basket case for a driver. That truck would bring a lot more, than the money you were asking for...
I had a friend almost wreck his 72 Chevy pickup because the throttle linkage popped off. Could have easily been the case here too. Pray he'll...
Yeah, when you can buy a 9 second bike, from the dealer stock, that power to weight thing doesn't hold water. A lot more idiots out riding...
I have a small yard that I pass going to work every day. Luckily he doesn't seem to crush anything too old. I see the older ones out front, all...
Somehow I think that's probably the last post you'll ever see from that username on the HAMB. He may be frantically searching Google to try to...
Cool to see some of the not so popular engines used once in a while.
Seems like a love/hate thing out there. Cool shit all over the place, shops all over, spots to cruise, constant shows etc. But then you have the...
Me too starting next Wednesday. Wife gets induced at 5AM Thursday morning. This child (boy) will be our second. Congrats on yours too.
