My tinnitus sounds like a jet idling on the tarmac across the airport...all the time. Luckily I'm able not to dwell on it, but I owe it all to...
I could actually go if it was at Famoso, but central West would be Redding or somewhere in Oregon.
When I was growing up, the guys with money were doing a lot of Brass era cars, because it reminded them of their childhood. Values softened a bit...
With something like that, even if they re-build it from scratch or with just some original parts $$$$$$$$$, they will let it run again. I think...
I don't mean to sound facetious, but good luck finding one! What are you going to do with the messed up one? retire it to a display stand?
http://www.buickstreet.com/build-a-better-buick-nailhead-page1.html You might find this link to an old article pretty interesting. I talked to a...
Seems like we had that when I worked at Lowe's. Try OSH or Sears Hardware, Michael's Art & Crafts, Internet look for Montana brand rattlecans the...
All of the time that I was growing up in the 50's and 60's we had a string of unremarkable cars, mostly old MoPars, 40's Dodge sedan,'52 Chrysler,...
I'd love to see that happen. We were all over the place back in the 60's, from Lompoc to Cayucos. My sister and her husband lived in Arroyo...
Another vote for the M&H piecrusts, they were the shizz back then. The Hurst retreads look pretty close. A lot of people wouldn't use retread...
A guy from Visalia Ca. had an orange T roadster with a flathead like that, back in the 60's. I think his name is/was Bill Looney. The car burned...
Since it's name is "Green Grenade" I'm staying with green but not the usual, How about that Jeep color?
Shelby 69500, I'm going to stick my 2¢ in, since I went through this back in the day, and there may be something else that hasn't been discussed...
That's so cool that a modern car could give up something usable to a build like yours. I mean having the right contour and everything. I like it!
I didn't see any mention of what transmission was being used either. I'm no expert but back in the day it probably would have been a B&M...
Thanks, Irish for the multiple postings. Nothing like same day coverage of the stuff that matters, here on the H.A.M.B. I know that all of the...
Yeah Royal, Thanks for posting the pics and getting the thread started. Waita"minit"...you mean to tell me that this car is tooling around CLOVIS...
http://http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=415684&highlight=how+to+synchronize+multiple+carbs I found this, it might help.
That Stude is "Minty Sweeeeeet." What happened with it? Did your friend pick it up?
I got one of the early Strombecker slot car sets one Christmas, and me and Dad stayed up almost all night playing it. Does that count? :-)#
My Dad, but he wasn't a hot rodder. There was a guy in our small town, Visalia, CA, that was a fabricator for the Walnut Growers Assn., and he...
I think that this is the one that bugs me the most. Needs restored. Usually referring to some rusting hulk of a "Mom's Grocery Getter" 4 door. I...
This is a little O/T but I was standing at the magazine rack at Target, looking at the maybe...two...magazines with anything vaguely relevant,...
Brent this is a great thread of your car from a great era. I've been look'n it over back and forth check'n out the "pitchers," and it is just...
I hadn't seen this thread before, but I could look at this stuff all day. My 10' Hansen is getting all lonely out in the garage because she hasn't...
I gotta say, this is one area that I also find very interesting. Brent...,yeah very nice build! Since no-one mentioned it, I'll throw in my 2¢ on...
The 4.6 can come out to 294" with a crank out of a 300. The weak point seems to be the heads. Aluminum heads from a '64 Buick 300 are the best...
I would have to agree with these other guys. I got a bone stock '46 suicide 4 door with the flattie v-8 w/60k miles in '66 for $100. At the time...
The paint stuff is supposed to be durable, that's what they use for those car dealership signs that look like chrome, freak'in Nissan or...
I think that you said that this was going to be a 16 valve, overhead valve, head. Is this going to be similar to the old Peugeot style aftermarket...
