I suspect he was thinking of DeSoto but said Hudson because both names are associated with defunct car-makers. His comments would fit DeSoto,...
This Hudson was a locally famous '50s jalopy racer. The "8-Ball" was owned and raced by Larry Brooks. Sorry, but I couldn't locate a picture of it...
That's already a nice looking car. Don't get in a hurry to do anything ... except maybe to put the grill and bumpers back on ... just drive it for...
This just came up on another thread. Yes, "gasser" as commonly used today is technically incorrect. Young guys use it for any rod with a raised...
Larry T: I wondered if anyone wouldh catch me on that. Yeah, The High & Mighty actually ran in the alcohol fuel class. But we seem to call all...
Yeah, well, don't forget bondo and fiberglass were once the cutting edge of auto body technology. All of Ed Roth's masterpieces were made of it....
Fabulous pictures from 1-Shot Slinger. For anyone who doesn't already know, the top three show the famous Lil' Coffin, or at least part of it, at...
That's great! I have a '49 Plymouth project, too. And wasn't the Ramchargers' "High & Mighty" sort of the mother of all gassers?
Most of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I didn't see Harry Luzader's deuce coupe.
My folks had '56 Pontiac, too. That may be "what started it" for me; or it could have been my dad's Renault 4CV with '59 Cadillac taillights....
OK, Wichita has some legitimate bragging rights, but let's not forget a lot of those cool cars roll in from Ark City ... oh, yeah, and Mulvane,...

My favorite deuce of all time would be Harry Luzader's five-window coupe gasser, followed by Larry Teter's Vicky and Chet Herbert's sedan (which...
Since you asked, I would not chop it. In fact, I have a '32 5-window coupe, too, and I have no intention of chopping mine. I can appreciate...
I bet it hasn't gone far away. Try placing a wanted ad in your local Craig's List for a T-Bucket and see what shows up. You might find part of it...
My favorite SBC hydraulic cam is the 929 (I don't remember the rest of the number, sorry) and my favorite solid is the 097. I think Crane makes...
You find that everywhere. Some people have unrealistic expectations. Not much you can do about it though, except don't buy it. If you are really...
I can understand Philbilly's position. He thought he had the car bought, so he referred to it has his. I'm not sure there's anything unusual about...
I think Gotzy moved on long ago, but since we are still talking about this: there really is no good reason to build a 301 anymore. Back when the...
