YAY!!!! Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about, and how to explain it. Thanks.
Agreed. I had hoped the whole "patina" thing had run its course.
Because of my lack of money over 60 years ago, I learned to do my own work. My theory has always been " If God didn't create it, I'm going to try...
Great pics. Thanks.
You people who cling to the belief that drum brakes are just as good, are dilutional. Unless you drive like a person who is elderly and in...
I just went through this ordeal. I'm using 10"x 2 1/2 " brake shoes. The parking brake parts are specific to those brake shoes. And , to me, they...
Similar car for sale in the Pitsburgh, PA. area in the late 60's early 70's. No buyers, nobody wanted a channeled Cabriolet. If it had been a...
This kinda looks like it could be Tom Meers 3w from the Philadelphia Modifiers.
You bring up a good point. I have the same tires on my car. I get a vibration in my steering wheel, about 60mph. I hadn't thought about the rear...
I've mentioned before about my buddy sending his tube axle to a high end plating place near Cleveland, Ohio. This axle was fully prepped, ready...
I hope he doesn't pinch, tuck stretch, shrink, and so on.
Concerning tube bending. If I have several bends in one area, I use heavy steel wire, not coat hanger, it's too hard to bend with my old arthritic...
Invest in a hydraulic flaring tool. I, like so many here, have used a manual flaring tool for decades. It isn't the typical H F, it's Imperial...
Looks like on the bridge coming out of Fort Pitt Tunnel, Pittsburgh.
All electric vehicle
Just finished the weekend at Canfield. It seems the economy is hurting everybody. Talked to several vendors. Many are frustrated that there is not...
My Son and Daughter have brought me over from the dark side. I won't drink anything but craft beer. I'll drink Corona in a pinch. I get a kick out...
Good luck. I hope you find what you need/want.
Yep! Canfield, Ohio this weekend. We have had the same spots for a long time. The swap meet scene has changed. We see more people walking by with...
Nothing is 100%. Those who like points and condenser, still think the flathead is king and drum brakes will stand up against disc brakes.
You're probably right. I knew there was some conflict there. As I recall, Pontiac wasn't very happy with Morgan.
I don't think that is Bruce Morgan on the right. I read somewhere, he was very displeased with that Pontiac.
The Don Kendall "T". Always a favorite of mine. Yeah, I know, no front brakes. Lifes tough, get a helmet.
I think this is Don Kendall's (?) T. And it might have been a feature in old Rod & Custom. The seat was really low that let the steering column...
That's why I charge by the hour, when using repro parts on customers cars. Absolutely nothing fits as advertised. Maddening.
Wow! Good eye.
Looks like stock appearing, except for frenched door hinge.
You mentioned Brookville needing work. It's good to hear someone else having a problem. I bought one for my "32" pickup. I admit to being somewhat...
Looks like Quaker City, Salem, Ohio.
Are you sure it's chopped?
