Being that Wall Speedway, an asphalt oval track shouldn't be far from you, I'd ask who shaves tires at a circle track oriented speed shop. Someone...
Speedy Bill is a class guy and his company reflects it. I've bought circle track parts from Speedy for 30+ years and the product has always...
Robert, were it me, I'd want a rear that different gears were readily available for. I'd hunt down a '75-'78 Mustang II 8" rear. All of the V8...
Ok, if you want the ultimate in stopping power for your '64 using junkyard parts, scare up a '71-'72 LTD front disc setup. These have 12" rotors...
An absolute success! I LIKE the '42-'47's. Jan
I'm with ya, Big Dad. I have an idea of how big those holes acually are. PROPERLY adhered and sized tin pieces would work. With a skim coat of...
$25, 900 for THAT? Not to this girl and hopefully to none of you here.! No offense, but Mitchell (Tn?) Speedway was not a famous track back in...
I'd have to dig out my list, but as of 2002 I'd owned approximately 207 cars since 1967. I only counted what my buddy and I call "two butt"...
Last summer, the online Ford club that I co-own put on a car show at the dealership that I drive for. We found our own sponsors, scored many...
It isn't what city laws say so much as how they're inforced. Most edict NO in-op unlicensed cars in plain view in city ordances. But if the...
I knew two brothers who could watch somebody stick weld without eye protection for 5 to 10 minutes straight.with no ill effects. Don't ask me how!...
Just enjoy your truck, Sinister..:) I like it just as it is for now. The term Rat Rod is now in common usage by the general public and they apply...
Tas in Dick Cozze's #44 coach with the unumbered car. Looks like Flemington from the fence. Paul Kuhl loved purple.
I have to respectfully disagree. When I saw Doc Hudson slip on race skins , run some dirt then appear on McQueen's pit box as one of the...
I'm planning on listing a '37 Chevy vintage circle tracker for sale at the HAMB Classifieds tomorrow. If she sells, I'll gladly join the Alliance....

Strip Weathers? I'd better watch my copy of Cars and catch this tidbit. Wonder why for the name.? But we ALL know that the US has had only one...
This is the deal. Most of us grew up with carburetors, no crumple zones, lap belts at most and the whole 9 yards. I never heard a decree that cars...
If you want a traditional mill, I'd go for the hopped up 235. I love 6 inna rows and they can make a cool cruising engine. BUT, if you'd like to...

In my world Paypal rules..:) I've had a merchant account since they came into existence. The fees for accepting a payment aren't THAT high. I can...
I had a '64 Catalina and it had the 'Slim Jim' automatic tranny, the same as an Oldsmobile as I recall. It had nothing resembling a lockup...

I haven't been around much for awhile. With my roommate's rather severe health problems, worries about money and most everything else over the...
Just to keep the record straight, Junior fielded Fords for Geoff Bodine in '90-'91...never Chevys. He may have experimented with a180 degree...
