Hey guy I need some help. I have a little header. I have no idea what it fits. I'm assuming it's for a 4 cylinder of some sort, but obviously I...
You don’t want that frame, it’s too big. Get a T-bucket frame or get the plans and build it yourself. If you put a short bet with TT cab it won’t...
I knew a guy who put it in his truck and said it ran like crap. I think you need pretty high compression for it to burn correctly. Dont trust what...

It’s been a while since I posted. The car hasn’t seen much change. In the past two years, life has been pretty wild. I got some patch panels...

As a car guy it’s natural that your shop is your happy place, it’s where you work on the thing that makes you happy. I have tools and a welder at...
Is there a section of the classified ads for tools? If not, I think it would be cool.
I've been on here for over a decade and still have no idea were the social groups are on the site.
I have a one year old, and I’d like to build him something cool, does anybody out there have more pictures of customized roadster style pedal cars?
In my opinion, as well as many other's, 60's car need minimal customization because Detroit was already taking so many styling ques from the show...
I watched it and loved both parts. I commented on the youtube video, so I wont bore you guys on here with my nonsense. But it was really nice to...
I just did. I should have listened to you.

I checked out pictures of the car, it looks like they didn’t French the buttons into the door, maybe I’m wrong about the curves at the handle. I...
Thank you, that is what I was imagining. Its unfortunate that the stock handle mount on the curve of the door, but I think I'm going to have to...
I was wondering if anybody out there could show me any examples of Lincoln door buttons being used on 49-51 Mercs. I’m trying to help a friend out...

You must have arms like Popeye dude.

Is that car in NJ by any chance? if so I may have info on it.
It looks kinda mean with blackwalls. maybe you could go with some taller tires though. I'd get the motor in before you worry about the tires. You...
Randy, try contacting Voodoo Larry Kustoms. He likes to put Divco wheels on Model As. He might know what to do or at least point you in the right...
What's on MY radio? Dust and overspray mostly.
