[ATTACH] I lucked into a lightly used B-3 for $300! I was on the lookout for one forever, then about 5-6 years ago a machine shop listed one. I...
My favorite type of HAMB build as well. Don't know how I previously missed it! Lookin good. I'll look forward to following along. Your gut...
Drive the car an hour to the US Walmart super center in Niagara Falls. Their website has 15's plus they can order for you. I got a pair of...
I like both but feel the bare steelies would look more deliberate and give more of a competition look if the rims were painted black. How about a...
It seems illogical, but it may be more efficient from a "big picture" business standpoint for UPS, FedEx, etc. If you ship me a part from NE to...
In mid 70's High School auto shop: we swapped a 327 with fender well headers into a Jeep. It was lifted with big tires and was capable of pulling...
Coming along great from what looked to be a pretty rough start! Looking forward to watching the build progress!
53 Olds wheel covers, 54-56 Buick side trim swoop. Can anyone ID the quarter panel stainless trim? Would help establish the earliest possible...
Have you considered keeping the Model A since you don't have a lot into it? Yes, you only have a one car garage but that may eventually change....
You absolutely HAVE TO buy the Flathead that goes with the car (even if it's too hot to run on the street and sits in your garage between HAMB...
That's a good plan, but chances are the same towing companies contract with AAA. A large metro towing co. is not going to dead head out 100+ miles...
Pretty much any custom by Bad Chad. Not hating on the guy. Just can't stomach the Dr. Seuss bad trip creations, especially the 36 Ford humping the...
Looks great. More pics here: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a63073711/u-haul-auto-car-transport-toy-hauler-trailer-2025-new/ Uhaul has...
Secure a long level across the tops of your current headlight frames. Then set the front frame rails on jack stands, setting the car perfectly...
Here's a tutorial that's fitting 55 Olds headlight doors to a 51 ford which is similar to your proposal. You can do it without all the fancy...
Nice! Glad you bought/saved it before the PO hacked any further on the body. Looking forward to the build. What # 34 5/w is this one?
At first sight, seeing the dusty Vette on the trailer: A Corvette guy: "Be a damn shame if someone bought that and didn't restore it to...
Cool. Looks as though they used a 35/36 flatback sedan tail. Reminds me of the "Phantom" body style drawings Thom Taylor used to do.
If I do end up building a shop in my upcoming retirement, it'll be a steel building tall enough for a storage mezzanine. It'll have stairs, but...
I read that the 56 narrowly escaped the Barris shop fire: Story goes that Jeffries was eating in a diner across the street and saw the smoke. He...
I recall a story in Street Rodder where they spoke of one night they took it out looking to choose on street racers. They pulled into a parking...
That's the problem; you can't stop by and they know it. It's like trying to collect a past due bill over the phone vs. in person. Have they even...
Once your concrete is sealed, it should be a matter of occasional sweep and damp mop type of maintenance rather than hard scrubbing. For that...
Deuce Factory comes to mind. They carried a lot of stainless suspension components and hardware. Maybe Garner Westcott?
The factory tailpan seam failure that @VANDENPLAS posted isn't from torque, but rather a cancered out factory seam that was not properly...
The 55 checks every box on the cool list! I'd guess that it had a souped 283 and 4 speed. Looks to be pictured at Pomona. I'm fairly sure the...
Google search reveals he passed a couple of years ago. https://www.bobofuneralchapel.com/obituary/Rudolf-Faltermeier Perhaps his Son still does...
Can you post a pic of the grille and shell, so we know it if/when we see it listed? Also, he may not actually be in Austin like he says he is....
If you take them to Windsor and like IPA's, be sure to hit Russian River Brewing for a Pliny the Elder or two or three! That place is beer heaven....
Separate names with a comma.
