Yep! Sure is!
European cars provide power to the brake lights only with the key on. Every American car I've seen does not. I tend to wire my cars so brake...
Check out Rolf's A coupe build. He stitched his own interior. Also, use old cardboard or something for templates, lots cheaper than $8 per...
Not the first thing I thought when I read the title, but cool pic!
And if push comes to shove there is a "Transfer of ownership with lost/missing title" form you and the buyer can fill out. Should be downloadable...
At least with the 1/8 mile times the cars will seem fast! I went 2 years ago in Fontucky and had a good time, Irwindale's quite a bit closer,...
I'm leery of anything that's been subframed, unless I know who did the work. How do I know the thing was welded in straight? Or even worse,...
I read somewhere on another forum that the service replacement hood for all 57-60's was the '60 hood once they came out. Maybe your hood was...
I would think you could find what you need at NAPA for less. Your not shopping for anything strange like a Studebaker or a Hudson.
It took about 3 weeks of lots of ibuprofen and icing my elbow for the pain to go away. I learned to work left-handed as often as I could, too. I...
I had to work through the tendonitis thing too. I had it so bad, I couldn't feel my hand at all, and my elbow was in constant pain. One major...
If you weren't on the other side of the country I would have grabbed it by now. Watch, you'll get no takers, scrap the thing so you're not...
I've never used the end gaskets on Chevy intakes, I just lay down a thick bead of RTV and bolt up the intake; never had a problem. I would...
Torque converter install: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFFIPyv2C_4 The trick is count the number of splined shafts, and make sure the...

So the important question is did you keep the paint or not??
Solid wire colors, connectors, connector shells, etc. from: www.waytekwire.com Wires with tracers, and almost everything else from:...

Brake spray. You can also flush the lines with rubbing alcohol before you run the brake fluid in for the first time. If you're concerned about...
The fan is smaller also, like maybe 5" instead of 8". That could also be a factor, ultimately there is more overlapped paint with the smaller...

You do know Nietzsche was a fucking whackadoo right?:D I don't think the modern base/clears have the depth of real candy, but I'll defer to the...
Personally I'd rather run a Holley carb than a Horrey carb. While I don't have any experience with these carbs, I have run one of their chinese...
I'll agree with alteredpilot, try to find a factory color that is close to what you want. Pay close attention to the luxury brands, they usually...

Easiest way is to PM one of the Moderators and ask them to do it for you.

We used to use some type of Hylomar stuff for gasket material that said on the package "For best results let cure for 24 hours." It sealed great,...
