I learned from experience the little bastards love Toyota wiring. On two separate occasions I developed a miss, only to discover they'd chewed...
Several years ago I had a new Ford VR fail out of the box... or so I thought. When I bought an identical replacement, the counter guy emphasized...
I did a test last year using a couple of pitted hood ornaments destined for the swap meet. Cleaned one with 0000 steel wool, the other with...
I found a Consew 206 for $500 (along with table and steamer). Added a $150 servo. The original clutch setup is great for a pro, but I'm a rank...
Was watching one of the old Peter Ustinov Perot movies the other day. Set in 1951, an American actress is seen tearing around the English...
I'm with Fargo. I'd start at $100 with the hope he'd counter $200. Heck, in a worst-case scenario, you could get a chunk of that back selling off...
Coming back to the OP's request for "affordable" upgrades, everyone telling you to increase compression is spot-on. A Snyder's 5.5:1 or 6:1 head...
Years ago, a buddy of mine was gifted a 55 gallon drum of the stuff, on a rolling rack no less. He'll let me have some whenever needed. I keep a...
Well here it is, Christmas 2024. This marks the anniversary of my build thread, meaning time again for my holiday Speedster update. I’ll admit,...
Here's an unusual take on the subject: [ATTACH] Oil on canvas painting by Beulah Loomis Hyde, circa 1935-40. Won second prize in the Western...
It's the kind of thing I'd buy at a swap meet for $2 figuring I can find a use for it. Maybe for a choke rod or something. Then five years later I...
I've heard this, too. Hey Bob, (@The37Kid) put it on eBay with a strong price and see if somebody in Europe bites. I have a case with a '33 serial...

Me too. But it got us the annual Scary Santa avatar, so now the Christmas spirit is truly upon us.
About time. Now it finally feels like Christmas. :D
Hey there @Jimmie Pugh, I'm going to second what @alchemy said. Let's consider the wheels and tires before replacing parts, and also investigate...
A debate that will never end. I personally find scarcity to be appealing. I enjoy the treasure hunt for rare parts, the challenge of working...
What happened is, the usual fiberglass points and counter-points were made, and the 12-post OP hasn't returned to the forum in almost a month....
Malpassi Filter King. Combo filter and regulator. Well made, looks right. [ATTACH]
I need to update more often while I remember stuff.
What you're looking a now is a reverse eye main and 7 leaves.
Uh, yeah. Gosh, where were we… So the plan is to squeeze this flathead into the tiny ’29 bay without moving the radiator or severely cutting the...
Do a video of you opening the envelope to establish what it fits. Like those unwrapping videos people seem to love, for some inexplicable reason.
Building on the Halloween theme, how about this spooky grave site in rural Oregon? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
So the only knock against this guy is that he offered more than the unspecified figure the seller had in mind? As an online seller, it’s kind of...
Some of those super small bullet lights actually don’t show up very well. Lots of speedster guys use them, and I’ll be damned if I can see their...
Yep, as Budget36 said, you need to get to 10 posts before the system will allow you to send messages to fellow members. Once you have 10...
Heck, I'd just ratchet-strap a $20 furniture dolly to the front cross member and then use a come-along to pull the thing onto a trailer. Looks...
I would accept @corncobcoupe's offer to help write your ad. Perhaps you already have. Do you know how to send private messages on this forum? I...
Yes, I think that's what he's asking. I believe these are example pics, not his car.
Separate names with a comma.
