I don't need no stinking trophy either. And I sure as hell aint gonna pay someone to park my car so the public can see it easier. I do enter...

I recently purchased a '48 Club Coupe (428CJ/C-6) that belonged to a close friend lost to cancer 2 years ago. His daughter decided to sell and I...
I 'got' it man. That was funny.
Gonna take in the California Hot Rod Reunion coming up in October. Anyone have any do's or don'ts when it comes to motels, seating and such?...
Great photos, man. Thanks.
Go white, my man - it'll look great. When I got my '40 Ford P/U the firewall was black as was the underside of the hood. It was hard to see...
From my old man: what'd they say when the monkey stuck his tail in the fan? "It won't be long now...."
Thanks. That was my other idea for lubing - just thought there might be a better/different method. The block got a machine shop clean, bore, hone...
Hey guys, a bud and I are getting ready to re-assemble his 400 Poncho and get it back into his '48 Merc Cpe.(Canadian). We're re-using his .030...
Thanks guys. Anybody else? Maybe a link to a site with casting numbers?
I recently stumbled onto a Cadillac motor and trans (with a spare 4bbl intake and a dual quad). The previous owner said I could have it all if I'd...
Oregon....isn't that the anal-retentive term used for California? Try filling a Harley with one of those things - same problemo.
Trying to get it back to a traditional early 60's state....it's coming along. Tri-power next. Then a non tilt steering column, a floor shifter and...
Thanks,guys. We've been looking at all Buick, Olds, Pontiac and Caddy motors and have been told that they do interchange with his '69 Turbo 400....
Been working on a bud's '48 Merc (Canadian Ford) short door that has a 400 Pontiac w/400 Turbo and a 8.2-10 bolt. It's got a BAD crank type noise...
And stop stripping pins or stripping for money or whatever pin stripping is.
There is a thread sealant for hydraulic fittings made by Loctite that has worked for me. I also change to a hex head brass plug (American only -...
To the contrary sir. Been using them in all of my vehicles (totaling 10) and truck cabs (totaling 4) and tractors (totaling 3) for better than 15...
There's a product called "Fresh Cab" that absolutely, positively keeps mice out of your vehicle. Looks like an old-time tobacco pouch and smells...
Thunderbolt - let me save you some time and frustration. My apology for not adding this to my original reply. There is no one in the entire US...
Here's my '40 (and a Thank You to Mt Shasta Steve):
Sorry to tell you this, you're going to be as disappointed as I am. The Fairlane Company was bitten by the same lousy economy that took down so...
Help, how do I attach photos?
I'm trying to avoid going to that kind of effort, man. May end up doing just that, though. Anybody else know where I could find some widened...
Anybody out there know where I can pick up some glass rear fenders for my '48 Coupe project? Fairlane Co. used to produce them 2.5 inches wider...
I'm totally amazed at the number of "oh what the hell, it's only $30 - I'll pay it" posts. I mean really, don't you all realize this is a tax...
Nice shots. It was a great show and a ton of fun. Man, you sure left out a lot of great cars. Forgot my camera but won't next time. You missed a...
My '40 P/U is down but I'll be there with my '53 Merc along with the rest of the "Swing Shift". It's a fun time, for sure.
Just checked out the "Alliance". Looks like a good deal. In the future I'm going to be acutely diligent when it comes to research before any...
