Thanks guys. I can't wait to dig into it later today. Brandon
Thanks. The '31 is finished (well, it will remain as is, but I will continue to try to keep it running. It likes to run a week, then overheat....
Here's a picture of me moving my '31 to the barn so I can begin work on my wife's '37. [IMG] Any my nephew pulling it out of the barn with his 4...
My nephew is 11 years old. He's my sister's 3rd kid and the only one that seems to have taken an interest in old cars. He likes coming over and...
I have a 1957 Chevrolet I had rebuilt at an engine shop. I have found that the rear main seal was leaking. It's been this way about 2 years and...
Thanks Vergil, I've never seen that first one, and I've pretty much turned every link I can find on google purple from having looked at them all....
I agree with what you said about original cars not being worth as much, but my passion is for original and period cars, so one day if my wife gets...
hahaha, well matt, I think you've been more help than any of the other websites I've found since this post. Yeah, I know the streetrod thing...
Thanks guys. I found a couple 3.55s, but I found out they had 3.08s as well. I think a 3.08 would be pretty good and still not be a complete...
Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to have the computer reflashed, so I can use whatever rear end ratio would work best. Thanks, brandon
Oh yeah, good point. We've got a 5.3 GM LS and a 4L60E trans to go in it. Thanks, Brandon
I just bought a project to be a daily driver for my wife. I want to put a later model rear end under it. What width rear ends are you guys...
Look at the bottom left picture of the train hitting the vehicle with the steam coming out. The steam looks like a face.
I've always wanted to see some pictures of wrecked '59 Cadillacs. I have a 60 and always wondered what the rear end would do under impact.
Could someone post a picture of a stock 1 barrel carb on a 1957 235 Chevy with the overdrive rods hooked up. I've seen the picture in the book...
That's going to be an awesome resurrection. Here's a picture of my stock all stock '31. If you need any measurements shoot me a PM. [IMG] Brandon
Hello everyone, My wife just rolled her car. It was an '07 Yaris. Fortunately the Lord was looking out for her and she was completely unharmed....
Old hot rods, rain, mud. http://vimeo.com/28362160
Nope, no halfway job for me. When I drive it on cold mornings it will barely run. By the time it finally warms up to idle I'm already where I'm...
Dog gonnit! Thanks for looking anyway! Brandon
Thanks Henry, I'd really appreciate it. I was planning on driving my '57 to the Frog Follies this weekend but I'm not sure if I'll make it....
Does anyone know where I can get the weight for the heat riser on a 235 in a 57 chevy. I can't find one anywhere. Thanks, Brandon
I used to live in a rural area. I live outside of Nashville. About 10 years ago there was a massive influx of idiots and morons and now it takes...
Man, that is a very pretty engine
I'm not real sure I understand what's going on here. For 100 bucks I'd buy a red truck and drive across country to get it. What am I missing here?
Here's a picture of my grandfather's straight 6. It carried he and my grandmother on their first date, which is pictured here. The picture...
Here's mine. I have a heck of a time keeping one of those hubcaps on. She's not as nice as the picture makes her look. [IMG]
That's funny, I just found that out last week myself when I saw one in a shop and went and checked it out. Never had any idea, and I'm a Cadillac...
Oh yea, I gotcha. Those people are definitely annoying. Having an old car is definitely a good recipe for getting trapped by a long-winded...
C'mon man, that's one of the best parts about old cars. I hate the attention they get. I just love them because of what they are, but getting to...
