Costco's box was a good deal when I bought mine. Right around $600 for the top & bottom. I swear I see the exact same box with different name...
Beautiful car. I might not even re-paint it for a while... Just drive it as-is for afew years. Any photos of the interior? Is it as nice as the...
Glad to see we all came to our senses. Anyone who wants to continue the debate, feel free to e-mail me: djsankey@rocketmail.com Let's see some...
Deficits don't matter to who? Maybe not to you, but to our children and grandchildren who inherit a national debt that is unpayable, they will...
Kudos on the rubber boot where the bars go through the floor. That's pretty fucking slick.
I'm sure someone with more definite knowledge will chime in sooner or later. They're probably just out in their garages actually building...
What kind of front seat will you be running? That bench just ain't gonna look right with that sexy back seat...
Looks bitchin'. I was about to ask what kind of toold you're working with for the metal fab and then I saw the pic of the 2X4's clamped...
I'm going to show my ignorance with this question, but it won't be the first or last time: What is the cable running from the firewall to the...
I'm shooting from the hip, as I've never personally done this swap... But, I understand that the later "LA318" will bolt in where the Poly 318...
Plym49, our entire monetary system is make believe. This isn't just a crisis of the credit system, it's a crisis of the Federal Reserve system....
Forgot to add, I still have some parts laying around. Shoot me a PM in a month or two after you've gotten into the car and I've gotten settled...
From the firewall back, they're the same as '57 Fords. Bear that in mind when looking for parts. You're fortunate to have the manual tranny....
Unfortunately, I think TP is right on this one. The proverbial shit is about to hit the fan.
The "big" Turlock swap is usually in January. Not sure of the specific date this year.
I bought a "rebuilt" flattie for my Plymouth fastback off Craigslist too. It's at the machine shop being re-rebuilt, right now. Happens to...
Dublin Dr. Pepper rules.
That car is going to be out of control. The interior is amazing. Paint is awesome and the fades are super-nice. (but I agree about it being gloss)
It's hard to mistake a hemi for a flat 6 or 8. But, it's probably not too hard to mistake a '51 for a '50... As for pics, some are bound to...
They come up from time to time. Check Craigslist also. And of course Hemmings.
Looks like I was wrong. First pic looks like '39 DeSoto.
Second car looks like a DeSoto. First one doesn't. The first car looks like a GM (Buick or Chevy???) to me, but I'm a Mopar guy, so who knows...
What are Starburst hubcaps?
Not sure if you're interested or not, but Earl Edgerton of Edgy Cams already makes a cast, finned aluminum head for these engines. At least a...
Happy birthday, man. Here's to many more...
Well said, 36-3window. Obviously, the craftsmanship and heart are where they're supposed to be. But the design/engineering look weak. I wish...
I was thinking the same thing. I think the steelies with spider caps gives the car more of a 60's feel. You could probably pull off 4" whites...
Bad-ass. Classic body style/design with just the right amount of work to take it to the next level. That silver interior is the icing on the cake....
Dig the flake, and really admire your ambition and dedication. But I agree with Gotgas and 36-3 window's doubts about the bag set-up...
Hey Royalshifter, how long did it take to convince that dude to sell that thing? I almost bought the whole house just to get the mailbox... Julie...
