Nice progress! My '57 4dr HT Belvedere has similar patina as yours. I'll keep mine this way for the time being but I like the color ideas you...
Pre '65 Chryslers are not 'C bodies'. The Chrysler chassis/platform changed in '65. The 'C body' designation only describes the '65 and newer...
Today I started on a disc conversion on my '60 Chrysler New Yorker. Made the large inner bearing bushings for the spindles on the lathe, but I...
Large diameter brackets are good, for me at least. For mild use the smaller 10.5" rotor will be enough for most folks but I like to step on the...
Shit, just when i've put a bigger rollercam in my dual four carbed 500" stroker someone tells me the stinkin' gasprices have gone up... :rolleyes:...
The plates are 10mm thick, but 8mm would be enough aswell I would think. The slugs used to space the brackets out are about 21mm thick I seem to...
A small lightweight car is much easier to slow down then 4000+ lbs fullsize cars. But I agree, if everyting is upto snuff and all the planets...
They have. You can see the original drumbrake backing plate hanging on a hook on the car in my pic above. Chrysler went to a better design in on...
I've done it, on my '62 NewYorker wagon. Converted the drums into discs by using '73 11.75" Chrysler rotors. These rotors are about $45 new. But...
The pics don't show anymore, 'bandwidth exceeded'. Too many HAMB'ers viewed the pics I guess :)
Explosion in plant. Black smoke pouring out. Another Tsunami warning issued. http://twitpic.com/48pwv6 Some bad shit happening there.
I have some bucks left on my Paypal depreciating more and more every day now, so I'll up the price to 50 Georgies.
1- Depending on the current state of your leafsprings, 3" is about the max you can lower it before the rearaxle-snubber with start to contact the...
Not exactly my kinda style, and neither 10.5, but this should get close I guess... ;) [img] Here's my '62 Chrysler NewYorker wagon... [IMG]
Just this sunday I put my pair of shaved Hurst tires which I bought about a year ago under my '60 Chrysler. They're mounted on a set of 7J...
On the BobIsTheOilGuy website there always was an article which showed that Lucas Oil treatment caused oil to areate more easily then without the...
Dual stripes on my '57 Chrysler... [IMG]
The 2 carbs are 'Thermoquads'. Late60s / early mid 70s. edit: Got tree'd :)
Probably a guy who got sick of his greasy driveway :D

I don't think anyone has ever accused me of hiding stuff in my enginebay... [IMG]
When's the last time you rechecked that? Oil changes constantly. Rotella isn't the cat's miauw anymore like it once might've been. You like...
Just call it Chrome-Moly, but without the Moly. The 'chrome hiding defects'-part sounds bullshit to me aswell. There's way more to hide with...
You say it like that is a bad thing??? :confused: :D
ex, I'm talking about older used engines here. I agree on a fresh/new engine a pcv system is good. But once the rings & cylinders are getting...
I consider it a performance downgrade; 1st - Oil vapors degrade the fuel when mixed and can cause pinging. 2nd - Also, those oily vapors that...

All my cars are staticly lowered, mainly because it's easy to do with their torsionbar-front suspension, and 2ndly because airride simply doesn't...
Potential... for what, a mobile outhouse? :D
People who say 'it has a cam' or 'it has a stall convertor' usually say this to hide their ignorance about what specs their stuff actually has....
