My Ex-Tex Roadster - Now with me in New Zealand : [ATTACH]
One more time to the top
Bump to the top. Hard to believe no interest - this car has all of the right parts and would be a cool custom or hot rod.
This was my Dad’s car - he owned it about 25 years. About 15 years ago I rebuilt the car mechanically and he had it in storage until he died...
My current project - 347/5 speed and a 57 ford 9” rear with 3.50 gear set. [ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
My beater ‘66. Best Ford design of the 60s-
I think that a name comes as part of a kit - combined with some fuzzy rear view mirror dice, a tray of plastic drive in food, some dice valve stem...
Every time that I go to a large open car show I regret it. I’ve been to a couple here in NZ just to see what they are like - It’s pretty much...
I won't make this summer's events - but this old beater is in route from Texas to New Zealand. [MEDIA]
These responses are good example of why there aren’t many build threads anymore. I’m out.
Exhaust is done - all stainless. Rear axle is a ‘57 Ford 9” with a 3.50 Eaton True-Trac, transmission is a T5Z.
I’ll just have to work through the inspections for the mustang and the 32. Both are solid, rust-free and in excellent mechanical condition....
POR-15 is basically a paint - it doesn’t cover anything at all (any more than paint). It is not the thick rubber undercoating. It’s already...
Brakes are new Kelsey-Hayes reproductions from CSRP. Great product and customer service - I didn’t take any before photos - was just basic ford...
Nothing sexy about wiring. This was probably the worst that I’ve seen. It was an easy choice just to rip it all out and replace. I prefer...
I picked this car up about 1.5 years ago. It was parked in 1993 and overall solid, with some minor floor work needed. That’s pretty much...
I met Steve Conan at the re-launch party at the roundup. It was a great event and I am so glad that the magazine will be up and running again....
I am pretty sure it is the same car with some bad colorization. There are a few more photos of the club cars on this link:...
Man - that looks a lot like the Trackers Club car. My friend Cal Roberts was a member in the early 60s:
I don’t get it. Ugly, bad proportions and just plain goofy. To me this car is the epitome of what went wrong with hot rod show cars in the...
Finally cool enough to drive the roadster here in south Texas -
Earlier this year, we received a request from the city of Beorne to assume responsibility for hosting this event's time slot. The previous "Key...
@Blue Moon Garage - the truck sold on Friday for $40,250.00
Hot Rods, live music, craft beer, distilleries and good local food - all in historic downtown Boerne, Texas. This show has been going for 35...
My Grandparents worked in the shipyards in the bay area (Oakland) during the war and stayed out there until the late '40s. She was an...
For anyone interested in the truck - I am open to offers now. I will advertise it soon. Hit me up on my email or PM. agshelby@gmail.com
My observation of the market is that pickups are hot at the moment, and many cars that were traditionally expensive are much more reasonable....
This isn't a coupe ...
As the owner of the truck in question - I'd first like to thank Ryan for his excellent photos and the ad narrative. As for the value, I did...
@Ryan: Thanks for taking the time with the write-up and photos! Sorry that it didn't make the reserve, but the upside is that I still have a...
