Checking in from Pa. Yep. It's cold here.... If we all get a can of hairspray and squirt it into the air, we could make that hole in the ozone...
I went with a 59 Chevrolet 283 for my Model A hot rod. I went with sbc because they're cheap, reliable and since my car is sort of an old school...

I've just gotta say this. You guys have some GREAT ideas. I specifically like the billboard suggestion. I think a classic Coca-Cola sign or a...
I have a full sized Speed Limit hanging in the garage. It's posted at 105. We had a bunch of blank speed limit signs from the DOT and I had some...
Haa!! That's not a 4x4, it's a piece of PVC tubing. It goes into a hole in the driveway. If the post is in the driveway, I'm not back in the...

Well, since we're calling out what we want, I'll take the pinball machine (although I already have that title...), the Coke machine and the Coke...
As others have said, I think the trade was a good one. True, the 40 parts will cost you a few more bucks but at the other end, it'll be even....
It's the same way with cars or bikes. I've heard an old saying that goes "You never see a bike in front of a psychologists office". I've never...
My first car was a 65 Mustang fastback. It was not the prom queen, but it was mine. It was mostly putty but it was shiney and it made me happy!

It goes the same with all hobbies. I'm a pinball guy and it drives me nuts to see a newer electronic game with the old school pinball noises...
Expensive? Nah!! Use a second row minivan seat. Mine cost me $12!!! They fit right in a 28-31 coupe. They 'should' work for you too!! Good...
My neighbors 1940 Ford coupe was in a little movie called The Blob. It was made in the 50's or something. some movie about a blob... The car...
Here's mine. It's been chopped 2". I couldn't do any more because of my size (6'6"/250lbs.). To be honest, even the 2" chop makes it less than...

A 40 Ford in Maroon with a light tan interior? Never heard of that combo!!! It's funny how that color just seems to work. Although I have a Deluxe...

Got a friend in law enforcement? They could run the VIN and get the current owner info. If the car is still out there, you'll know in about 30...
