You too??? Seriously? The guy from Lake Havasu selling the starters at swap meets? This is my second one, the first one had a bad casting on the...
Unless something magical happens it looks like I won't make it. I still don't have a set of leaf springs- Desert Valley has a set but they want...
I'm running those cheesy valve covers from China. The sides are actually kinda thick, so I had to grind the inside of the valve covers to clear my...
I talked to Douglas too. We were compairing notes on ball joint spacers. Nice guy and his 57 seems really decent. I just found out tonight...
I should be there too. I'm looking forward to it!
I didn't know about the Peoria swap. Thanks! I plan on going to at least one of these. I'll try to keep an eye out for you. -rob

I have a Miller 211. I don't have 220V at my house yet but on 110V it works great. I think the multi-voltage thing is a real bonus. You've got...
Sorry to bring up an old thread- but I was pretty happy to find someone who had a picture or two of my car from this event. I didn't get any...
Did anyone get any pictures from today? I'd usually have a few to post but I was running the car today and didn't want to lug around the camera.
Fantastic! That will be easy.
Question for Spike about the NHRA tech inspection: My 55 has a relocated battery, how strict are they going to be on the trunk battery/emergency...
I used longer springs and ball joint spacers. If you add longer springs, you'll really need the ball joint spacers in there. I added shock...
What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgDNviWwbvw Falfa's 55... but I might be a little impartial.</EMBED>
Here's a couple of pics of my car from last week. I drove it from Phoenix to Montana and back. About 3000 miles round trip. [IMG] [IMG]
Thank you. I hear you on the cutting up thing. It's a decent car but nothing that's really worth saving. There wasn't anything that made the car...
I'm always told that I've got a sleeper, but I'm thinking more gasser-ish. 55gasserkid - The car is looking real good. Run whatever pulley,...

I don't think this is going to help you find your car if it gets stolen. From the Winplus website: FAQs: <TABLE width=455 align=center...
If I can get a new rear end in my 55 by the first week of August, I plan to hit Yellowstone for the 39th Annual Rod Run. I doubt I will actually...
I've got a TKO600 in my 55 chevy. It's a bit notchy but that is supposed to go away after several thousand miles. Other than that I think it's...
Yep. Gotta have the crank machined for the pilot bearing. My understanding is that none of the Caddy cranks have a pilot bearing provision.
I'm running Edelbrock 2 X 500's under the hood of my 55. [IMG]
I just got a Miller 211 last week. I've only run it on 115v so far but it seems to work great. I haven't used a welder in 15+ years, so I took...
I'm running ball joint spacers on my 55. I was a little worried when I had the car aligned but it was no big deal. The alignment guy said...
That's for sure! I have a cousin in Tucson that did the and/or thing with an ex-gf. He went down to the DMV with only his signature - they changed...
That's so awesome!
I think the big one was just last month, but maybe this would work? It's at GCC but I have no infor besides this link:...
It's a modified aftermarket trans mount. You can use a trans mount out of an early Camaro if you want to use a stock one. It's the right width...
Awesome! Someone finally took a picture of my car. And it's an "action" shot too! :)
