You chose wisely. Lake Compounce was an absolute joke this year
I had a 90 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, the horn had a nice "move or I'll f*cking kill you tone" while still maintaining some class.
I like the front end. We look through the safety of rose colored glasses of the past too much. This thing is well executed all around even though...
I didn't read the whole thread, but here are a few issues I've had: 1.) My air hose was deteriorating even though it was new. Put a filter between...
It's a nice car, but lacks the wow-factor. A lot of out-of-fashion parts on the car, and in this market you've got a lot of competition.
I mean, I think by now there are a set of recipes that work for cars (across all genres). How many 69 Camaro's or 49 Mercs can you really look at?...
There was a real nice one in Classic Trucks or Custom Classic Trucks back in 2009-2010. It was a black truck and I think it was on the cover.
I kept going through batteries once a year when I was on 6V. While all the trouble shooting here is on point, my conclusion was 'shitty...
Not to hijack this thread, but wasn't someone repoping Hurst style Olds Motor mounts somewhat recently? I cant seem to find anything.
Mine worked fine. Took the hood off to swap the motor, put the hood back on in seemingly the exact same place...now I have the same problem. o_O
Is it a replica? I thought it was the original, but I could be wrong.
Check out 'tyrodscc' on Instagram. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
SHP's got something up his sleeve here. Maybe he'll post an update.
You can dial the Edelbrock in with one of their kits that has the jets and metering rods. You're going to be on the primary circuit 99% of the...
summoning @100% Matt before the thread gets shut down Car is from CT. You know it?
I'm from the future. Pull all of your money out of the stock market before 2007
Supposed to be tacky when you set it on and torque the heads down. I've used it, but I can't tell you if its really necessary or not. Lots of...
Great work! Out of curiosity, what are you using for buffing compounds/grits?
On the bright side, no one got killed which was probably a distinct possibility looking at that mess. I've seen this happen once or twice locally,...
T5's are still plentiful, and American Powertrain just started selling S10 T5 rear shafts that bolt directly to the Mustang etc. T5s. T4 is kind...
You're probably talking about Eli from the Alterboys Car Club. The run is usually in September, but I don't think they had one this year. Lots of...
Which one are you talking about?
The market is soft, you can do better. I just turned down an extra one for far less, simply because I don't have the space. They are around.
In the rudimentary measurements I've done: Fan clearance would likely be an issue unless you went electric. Sanderson makes center dump headers...
That was my feeling too. People love the flathead when I pop the hood, but I don't love driving it. The opposite will occur with the 302. When I...
I have a 390 Caddy on a stand for mine. Like Frank said, they're not hot rods. I had wanted to do an old custom pickup, but mine wasn't it. If...
Cut costs where you can. I too felt a need in my DNA to rebuild a Flathead. At the end of the day, and after a few grand $$$, I've never really...
US mags and other companies make similar looking wheels. I'd browse before you commit to AR's . I've heard mixed reviews about their newer stuff
We've got some really cool stuff planned for 2019. Stay tuned!
How about one of the engine/trans adapter places like Wilcap or Bendstens? Their stuff is expensive, but just about everyone on this site has...
