Ok, for context the rear ¼ windows on my 39 have the same vent feature found in 34 front doors. Once rolled up, keep rolling and they move back a...
It's no secret that select muscle cars are big money. REALLY big money in some cases. Restoration should be thorough and authentic. On that we all...
So with severely crippled searches lately (never what you're looking for) it seems the 42-8 Columbia is 2" wider than the 37-41. I stumbled upon...

Sometimes there's old nasty stuff that's trying to get out from under that old paint. It can become an eyesore that makes you wanna start over....
A lot of us did it and still do. I don't any longer and I'd be a liar if I said I don't miss it. This car was a lot fun. I had my clan tartan in...
Ok, a while back I said I'd do a post of how to get the ¼ windows out of these tudor bodies. It sux and it's way better with help, but that said I...
Ok, yes I Googled and duck ducked, and catalog searched and, well here I am. I want to replace the vertical glass runs in my 39 std. I already...

Legit Hollywood Wolf Whistle in chrome, NOS, sorry no box. Yes, it works. $125 shipped in the lower 48. Pmt by Postal MO preferred. Thanks... SOLD...
Yes I tried a search, but I need to confirm in my memory banks if the later 5 on 5½ drums can just replace the wide 5s on my 39. Yes I'm gonna run...
So after arguing with the starter in the 352 to get it out (big Bendix type) I looked in the Motors Manual for any direction. Turns out they spec...
So this had to be late 70s, early 80s maybe? Used to be an annual car show/swap in Allen Park, MI. One year this car shows up, a channeled down...

Intact and irrefutable, this one is quite the find. A numbers matching and brutal performing 65 Riv GS. Every factory option, all of em. The only...
I've seen a lot of Ford distributors but nothing like this. Yes, I Googled all the tag info and it seems 12127 is the generic class of parts, I...
Very nice 49-50 horn ring, 3 spoke with the painted center. Outer ring is near mint, center spokes have very minor pitting, threads for the center...
How many have bothered, or are there simple economical solutions to keeping the rods when dropping the SBC into early V8 cars? These are things I...
