I can appreciate that. My old cars have the same affect on me. Teaching my wife to drive three on the tree, bringing my newborn son home from the...
Keep in mind that this is just my opinion. I feel that "classic" is just a buzz word that gets thrown around to describe a certain easily...
May I make a suggestion? Maybe go with a thinner white wall. The wide whites look a little chunky in my opinion.
Not much music these days. Mostly books on tape, anything by Chuck palahniuk or Charles bukowski. A lot of stand up comedy too, Doug Stanhope,...
I will usually run off some welding wire from the mig machine, make up a very small loop at one end and electrical tape it . Use it like a very...
40. But after years of hard drug use, a couple of bad car accidents and a really bad head injury. I often feel more like 80+.
It's not car related, but it definitely shows how well my son's know me.[ATTACH]
I'm not a fuel injection expert, but I work with procon pumps on a daily basis. I personally don't feel these pumps will make a good choice as a...
Hell, if you are giving them away? I'll be nice enough to cover the shipping.
Squirrel is correct. They are not cheap or easy these days, and the bracket is a little ridiculous. It basically boils down to its what I had so I...
Relocated Mopar a body manual box.[ATTACH]
Yeah, I know this situation. When I went to look at my Plymouth. The " rust free daily driver" was anything but. It had sheets of aluminum rivited...

Pump the system full of nitrogen. Check all of your connections and all brazed joints with soapy water in a spray bottle. If you have a leak that...
Generally I try not to concern myself with cars I've sold, but with that being said.......... In my 20's my daily driver was a slightly o/t...
No. Though I probably should. This is clean for me! I'm surprised my wife lets me touch her at all![ATTACH]
Mine are towel city as well. If I recall, these were called "traditional cheater slicks"[ATTACH]
Yup. Your ass falls asleep, and your arms get tired from always holding your hand out.
That's kinda what my logic revolves around. I'd rather have someone open my door than have a broken window.
No. There is nothing in my car worth stealing, and nobody would want the car!
Work as much ot as the boss will give. Plus when I do equipment swap outs or re-pipes the customer usually asks me to haul off the old "junk",...
I told myself that if this thread ever made it back to the first page I would contribute. I apologize in advance for any small children I may...
Unfortunately I have been on both ends of this. I have been the shitty friend, and I've been the one getting shit on. In my youth, drugs and...
Oh and also, the heads look great! Don't sweat it.
You assume the polisher would assume anything at all. You asked for polished, he gave you polished. Part of your job as the customer is to be...
The part I dread the most? The part where I run out of money and the car sits in pieces for a year and a half. It's the worst!
Squirrel, you are absolutely correct as usual. My valiant still had the stock 9"? Drum brakes when I first made the v8 swap. Stopping was scary.

Possibly international harvester.
