Look on the title, they usually say on them along with the VIN number and what state the car is from. All things you should know. :confused:
I know, it just looks like a '40 plymouth covered in surface rust though, nothing out of the ordinary.
I'm trying to figure out what a '40 plymouth business coupe would be worth. It's a complete car, a little rust in the floors, needs a full resto...
That could be an awesome merc if you get rid of the lame shit like the continental kit, wheels, paint color, etc.
"Spotlights? Why exactly do we run 'em?" I've always wondered the same thing. Real spots are cool I guess but dummys are well, dumb. It's like...
Government...The real root of all evil. This is not just a UK problem, we ALL have to band together worldwide because government is getting out of...
I dont drink beer.
just carry a small floor jack. When safety is concerned its stupid to use something dangerous and old just to be cool.
I've done the water thing, it seems to help on an old nasty motor. With all the alcohol (ethanol) in the gas these days you are pretty much...
If I ever make it to Bonney, it wont be in any of my own cars!
You need a thicker piece for the center bar on your puller, it shouldn't be bending. Also, use grade 5 bolts, not grade 8. Grade 8 bolts will snap...
I had a baby blue one in high school in about '02. Was the only cool car in the parking lot. Yours looks awesome!
Ford built it.
it was a factory option, the bed slid in and out. GM also sold "trail about" trailers that used gm pickup beds. I have one that I have a Ford bed on.
Why not just run a small block?
Wish I could have gone. I decided to tear into my car though and spent Saturday welding instead of cruising. I probably could have drove a new...
Is the fuel pump pushrod worn down? You may need to build it up a little bit. Also, is there such thing as a flathead without valve noise? I've...
It's a lot better than sand blasting because it actually gets rid of the rust inside the panels.
It's not about speed, it's not about anything that can be explained to someone that doesn't get it. If you don't understand it then you never...
The wheels were body color on these buicks when they were new right? That would look the best with no caps. Otherwise I would go with the black...
I like to run traditional caps that are unique that not a lot of people run. Things like '55-'59 olds, '60 desoto, Mid 50's buick caps with '57...
I've been using it on my floors and frame. I didn't wash it off though because of the rust converting properties. Oil based paint sticks to it,...
Points are pretty simple. The best thing to learn about them is that they suck. Convert it to electric and never look back.
Heres my girl. Temporarily off the road for some body work right now but she'll be back on the streets soon.
Might have to use a bias ply engine to be traditional. :D
It's Kool as hell both ways, but I prefer the way it was before,
Thank god! A merc without skirts! See how much better it looks that way everybody? Please make a note of it.
Looks like a good excuse to build a way Kustom '57 to me.
Just don't tear into your car so far trying to figure it out that you cant cruise it anymore.
I've had that issue before, installed new springs. Found out that somebody had used the same shackle on both sides in the rear corners. Had to...
